Overview: The Great Danes haven't won five games in a row since the end of the 2006-07 season and that's what they'll try to do Monday night against the team they beat to begin their current four-game winning streak. 

The Bulldogs are coming off of a 30-point loss to No. 2 Connecticut. 

As if playing your first season at the Division I level isn't hard enough coach Tim O'Shea and Bryant have 12 of 15 games on the road to begin the year. 

Add to that, a stretch of upcoming games against Boston College, Rutgers, Providence and Maryland and it's welcome to the game Bulldogs.

It's a big difference from playing Assumption, Le Moyne, Pace and Adelphi and also The College of Saint Rose last year in Division II. 

Bryant is led by junior forward Cecil Greshman (Bloomfield, Ct.), who is averaging more than 19 points per game and scored a game-high 19 against Connecticut. 

The Bulldogs also got 20 points and 11 rebounds in the first meeting against the Great Danes from sophomore guard Barry Latham. 

In that same game, UAlbany sophomore guard Tim Ambrose scored a game-high 24 points and is averaging 20 points per game over the Great Danes' four wins. 

Anthony Raffa and Louis Barraza also scored nine for UAlbany in the earlier victory.  

Records: UAlbany 4-2. Bryant 1-3 

The Series: This is the second all-time meeting, UAlbany won 76-67 on Nov. 19 of the season. 

Player to Watch: Tim Ambrose, sophomore UAlbany. Ambrose started this winning streak by matching a career day against this team and has started to become a consistent scoring threat for this Great Danes team. In the winning streak, he's scored 24 points twice and hit the game-winning shot against Central Connecticut. 

X-factor: Humble Pie. UAlbany has won four in a row, they've already beaten this team on the road, so it's over right. As ESPN College Football analyst Lee Corso would say....not so fast. If the Great Danes, who are still a young team and learning how to win, overlook Bryant, don't be too surprised if this is a lot closer than it should be. Remember, UAlbany played just yesterday, so we'll see how they bounce back in this one.  

Prediction: UAlbany 73, Bryant 60 (My UAlbany record is 5-1. I picked against the Great Danes on Saturday, not again)
