ALBANY - As the University at Albany looked to mount a comeback on Wednesday against Hartford, their lineup looked a little different.

Jake Lindfors, Scotty McRae, Mike Black, Logan Aronhalt and Billy Allen.

No Will Harris, who was out for a third straight game with a leg injury and no Tim Ambrose, who sat on the bench for the final 3:37 of the game because of his recent late-game decision-making.

"We need Tim to make better decisions because I want him on the floor down the stretch," said UAlbany coach Will Brown. "Tonight, he didn’t deserve to be on the floor down the stretch."

Ambrose had six turnovers in the game and had a costly turnover late in the team's last game at Stony Brook.

"He's been on the floor in crunch time and hasn't answered the bell," Brown said. "Until he makes better decision down the stretch, we'll go with the young guys."

The Great Danes are now halfway through their conference schedule and have just one win, over a UMBC team that is 1-20.

It's clear that the veterans need to step up or this season will not get any brighter.

"We have to play better," McRae said. "We have to help lead them and help teach them how to make good decisions, while we make good decisions. We have to lead by example more so than verbally and I feel that will help us get some more wins."
