Short Story: The University at Albany men’s basketball team had one of its best shooting games of the season, but ultimately fell to America East foe UMBC by a score of 92-83. Five different Great Danes finished in double figures, led by Gerald Drumgoole Jr. with 26 points. UMBC’s offense proved to be too much however, as the Retrievers would go on to shoot over 50% from the field en route to the win.
Head Coach Dwayne Killings: “We got better, from last game to this game. So glad to see Aaron Reddish come back and make shots, make some plays… I thought Sarju Patel played one of his better games since he’s been here… We have to be better. We have to be tougher. We have to find a way to defend.”
