Mike Black couldn't remember where he was or why he was there.

Black had just come off the floor during a game against Dawson College All-Stars, on Aug. 22, after running into a screen that had knocked him out cold.

While Black is fine now and will practice on Friday, the first day teams can officially take the floor, that wasn't the case right after that game.

“For about a week, I was out of it,” Black said on Thursday.

Black and UAlbany coach Will Brown both used the word "scary" about the situation.

“Anything that’s close to being a concussion, you just have to sit guys out, let the doctors look at them, let him pass the concussion tests," Brown said. "He seems to be fine.”

Black didn't play for the rest of the trip, but hasn't had any lingering effects of the concussion since.

“We were very careful with him,” Brown said. “Our training staff and doctors did a great job

Black has become one of the veteran leaders for the Great Danes and as the point guard, will be counted on heavily this season.

“We’re feeling pretty confident,” he said.
