It's an important week for the Great Danes for a lot of reasons.

• No. 1 Robert Morris can go to 4-0 in the league. A loss for UAlbany would put them at 0-2.

• No. 2 A loss keeps the Great Danes in the bottom portion of the league standings and likely forces them to hope teams will lose two or three games for them to claim a share of the title

Robert Morris has Northeast Conference's automatic bid, according to Craig Haley, The Sports Network Executive Director. The Colonials don't get any favors as they are projected to play at Texas State and the winner plays at former No. 1, Villanova.
