Albany, up 12 in the 4th quarter, appears headed to the NCAA tournament again. Last year, with Coach Abe at the helm, they upset Florida in the 1st round before bowing out to Syracuse.

New coach, same old story: UAlbany seeks another title

When former University at Albany coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson suddenly bolted for a new opportunity, the Great Danes were stunned.

"It was not the happiest moment of our lives," junior Tiana-Jo Carter said with a laugh. "But life's all about change, and we knew that she was going on to a bigger place that's better for her career, so we had to respect that." ...

New coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee has been more than up to the task.

After starting 3-5, Albany (20-11) has settled nicely into Coach Mac's system. The Great Danes finished the regular season by winning nine of their last 10 games in conference play. Among those victories was 64-55 over regular-season champion New Hampshire, which had won 13 straight. ...

"I thought that I would get them on the same page a little faster than we did," added Bernabei-McNamee, whose staff includes Hall of Famer Yolanda Griffith and former Albany star guard Erin Coughlin. "Patience is a virtue I don't always have. It paid off. Now they're really coming together.​

I watched that game. I enjoyed it. Eric Friede? is the announcer you heard. I heard him the other night announcing another game. He seems to be busy this post season.

Nice weekend for UAlbany sports fans. Maryland comes to Albany to play lax tomorrow and the men's basketball team plays at Vermont tomorrow for the AE title.

Could be that Albany has a thing for teams from North Carolina. I seem to remember Albany taking UNC to the buzzer in a tournament game around 2013?? also.

I looked it up, and you are correct. Albany lost 59-54 @ UNC in 2013.
