The Great Danes played all right in an exciting game, but fell 69-65.

UAlbany had some bad possessions late in the game, not getting shots off and giving the ball away.

The Great Danes get their next chance for a win Monday at American.

Stopped by UAlbany today to get some stuff for tomorrow's home opener against Morgan State, defending MEAC Champions.

The word from coach Will Brown is that Louis Barraza is dealing with a virus and will be unable to play and that Fran Urli can barely walk after injuring his ankle in the Syracuse game.

Barraza and Urli haven't practiced and Brown said that Barraza is unlikely to play Monday at American.

Here's a little more from Brown.

"We've just got to get out and play again. I think our guys felt probably a little bit better after watching Syracuse play against last night and realizing that they're pretty good. I think it made them feel a little bit better. I didn't make me feel any better. We've got work to do, but we've practiced well since the Syracuse game."

I'll have more on redshirt-freshman Logan Aronholt tonight.
