Saint Rose vs. No. 1

The Golden Knights of The College of Saint Rose men's basketball team will take on Bentley, the top-ranked team in the country at the Division II level today at 3:30.

This will be the third time in the history of the program that they will attempt to knock of No. 1, but the first time in 13 years.

The Golden Knights lost twice to Philadelphia University during the 1993-94 season.

Saint Rose hasn't beaten Bentley in four years and the talented senior trio of Steve Dagostino, Will Monica and Shanty Robinson has never beat the Falcons.

Even more, of Bentley's last five wins over the Golden Knights, three of them have come by a single point.

In today's paper, we showed Capital District teams at the Division I and II level against the top team in many different sports.

The last time a team from Division I or II defeated the top team was back in 1996 when RPI men's hockey defeated Vermont.

It should be a great game because these are the top two teams in the Northeast-10 Conference and it's the only time they play this year during the regular season.
