UALBANY men's basketball finished the regular season today with an overtime loss to Hartford despite a great effort by Will Harris who finished the game with 26 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.
The game was evenly played from the beginning tip. With Albany down 4 with a couple seconds left to go in the first half, Billy Allen drained a three pointer at the buzzer to end the half.
In the second half, Will Harris's stellar play kept the Dane's afloat. With 12 seconds left in the second half, with the score 72-70 in Albany's favor, Hartford junior Anthony Minor was fouled by Brett Gifford. The foul sent Minor, a 61% foul shooter to the line for a 1-and-1. Minor made the two free throws and knotted the game up at 72. Will Harris shot a well contested NBA range three pointer that came up short. In the overtime period, Hartford went an early 6-0 run that Albany never recovered from and was outscored 7 to 13 at the end of the extra period, leaving a final score of, Hartford, 85, Albany 79.
The Great Danes will be traveling back to Hartford for the America East Conference Tournament on Thursday, where they will play UMBC in the first game of the tournament. Albany has their only two conference wins against UMBC, which favors them in their third meeting.
