ALBANY - UAlbany doesn't exactly have the same energy that they had Friday against Cornell.

The Great Danes came out shooting just 1-for-10 from the field, but actually trailed just 8-4.

They started making shots and the Patriot League favorite Eagles made some more.

UAlbany finished the half 9-for-26 (34.6%), led by Tim Ambrose, who scored 11 points off the bench.

American was paced by Vlad Moldoveanu, who scored seven points. The Eagles also hit four 3-pointers.

I don't usually get on the refs (if I'm not watching sports at home that is), but there have been some awfully strange calls, including the one where the ref called the ball out off Logan Aronhalt (right in front of us and legendary UAlbany coach Doc Sauers, who evaluates the referees). I could clearly see the ball went off the American player (I assume Doc did too).

The ref then made Aronhalt go get the ball (injury to insult, I guess).
