This game is a mismatch on paper.

UAlbany likes to score a lot and Dartmouth would prefer a game played in the 50's.

If the Great Danes play to their potential they should head into a short Christmas break, with a win.

The Big Green will shoot a lot of three's and don't have any big scorer, which can be bad for a defense because you have to guard everyone.

Over the past few days UAlbany has talked about playing more consistent defense, when they have a big lead.

It'll be interesting to see how they play on Friday, should they go up big.

Also, nearly all of the Great Danes will be heading out of town following Friday's game. They'll need to make sure they keep their heads in the game and not be thinking about a trip home.
