The University at Albany scored a huge, huge win on Saturday afternoon by defeating Vermont 80-79 in overtime.

Brian Lillis led the way with a career-high 29 points and really took the team on his back down the stretch.

Lillis said something that stuck out to me, "We've been saying the right things all year, but we needed someone to go out and do the right things."

This win ended a four-game losing streak, but the work doesn't end here. The Great Danes are 1-7 on the road and travel to Stony Brook on Wednesday.

Freshman point guard Josh Martin missed Saturday's game and will be out the next few weeks because of a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee that he suffered in Friday's practice.

This is too bad because Martin was really making progress in his first season and had broke into the starting lineup.

Martin may even miss the remainder of the year if he is forced to have surgery.
