J.S. Carras/The Record

This is a huge game for the University at Albany.

The Great Danes have so far played the tougher league teams on the road (Stony Brook, Boston U., Vermont) and some easier teams (New Hampshire, Hartford) at home.

Coming off a loss and heading into Patrick Gym, this will show a lot of what this team is made of.

This is also the first time this season where we have to wonder about Gerardo Suero. UAlbany's leading scorer struggled in the last game and he'll be needed to have a decent night for sure, if the Great Danes hope to win.

The Catamounts are playing much better. They are very balanced under first-year head coach John Becker, who was an assistant under departed coach Mike Lonergan.

Vermont has the reigning Rookie of the Year (Brian Voelkel) and a strong candidate for this season, in leading scorer Four McGlynn.
