UAlbany finishes hard/Devlin for ROY???

The University at Albany men's basketball team finished off a positive regular season on Sunday, defeating Maine to finish in a tie for third place in the America East.

"I thought our guys were resilient, tremendous poise and composure yesterday, when Maine went on that run," UAlbany coach Will Brown said Monday morning on his radio interview with WOFX 980-AM.

The Great Danes are the No. 4 seed for the upcoming America East tournament and will play Stony Brook, who they beat twice during the regular season, on Saturday, March, 5, at 12 p.m.

In that game, sophomore point guard Mike Black, who had a calf injury, scored a game-high 26 points.

"Mike Black was best player on the floor," Brown said.

Also in the game, freshman Luke Devlin continued his terrific rookie year.

He had his head cut open and required stitches, but returned to the game in the second half and finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

"He had a headaches," Brown said. "He wasn't feeling well, but he told me he wanted to play."

Devlin is certainly a frontrunner for the league's rookie of the year, which will be handed out on Friday.

"You can't get enough Luke Devlin's," Brown said.

The voting is due today at 2 p.m., and Brown tried to make an argument for his guy.

"I'm hoping the other coaches in the league appreciate what Luke means to us and our program," Brown said.
