The Great Danes have won two consecutive league road games after losing six of their first seven road matchups.

UAlbany dropped their first league game to New Hampshire, but since has defeated Stony Brook and preseason league favorite Boston University on the road.

"When you win a game or two on the road, all of a sudden, you start getting more confident and more comfortable," said UAlbany coach Will Brown after Friday's practice.

"I think getting some good wins on the road will do that for you," senior guard Jon Iati said. "We're starting to feel more and more comfortable on the road. I know earlier, it really felt like we were struggling and we really wanted to just get one win and once we did that, we thought it'd be a lot easier for us."

The Great Danes take on Hartford tonight on the road in a game that was supposed to be played at 2 p.m., but was moved to 7 p.m., earlier this week.

Brown got a call asking if they could change the game to later in the evening and he agreed since the they said there'd be more people in the crowd.

"I said let's do it," Brown said. "I know the makeup of my team and the mentality of my team, the more people in the facility, the better. I think that's why we played with so much energy against Boston U. I don't agree with it, but kids are kids and I think our guys would rather play in front of a packed house on the road even if it means a couple thousand people cheering against us."

Freshman Josh Martin had practice clothes on at Friday's shootaround, but he didn't participate, only shot by himself and Brown is hoping he can start practicing sometime next week.

Brown also said he's planning on sending Iati to get x-rays on his toe after tonight's game against the Hawks and that senior Brent Wilson is suffering through a stomach flu and was hooked up to an IV on Thursday evening.
