Coach Brewer's Saga for Success

Boston Turns Away the Hype
ALBANY, NY-So much for a great week. After consectutive upsets over Syracuse and West Virginia, the Albany Great Danes were given the oppertuinity to FINALLY be the favorite for once. Maybe they should go back to being underdogs.

In an abysmal shooting performance, the Danes could only manage 15 points by halftime, and never recovered from the deficit, losing at home to BU, 39-50. The Danes didn't play like a team that had thought a potential undefeated conference schedule was a posibility, and very few times through the night did a glimmer of it shine through. Boston University was lead by an outstanding performance from point guard Nathan Tigert, who's sharp shooting and leadership led the way for the Terriers. Tigert ended the night with 16 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals, very respectable stats. The Danes were led by Joshua Chapman, scoring 12 points, 3 points shots, and Dedrick Yango, with 12 points and 9 rebounds. In was the inabilility to perform shown by Neil Hale that cost Albany the ball game, as the nation's #2 scorer was held toa mere 4 points while playing a good time of the game. Guilherme Boatner played in his first game since his redshirt was removed, and looked a little shaky, missing his first 3 shots, but ended up hitting his other two to finish the night with 4 points. As the future of the team, we can only hope fe progresses into the player the organization thought he would be.

In national news, there wasn't much change near the top of the polls, as Duke solidified their #1 ranking. However, the 13-0 Cincinnati Bearcats have charged up to the #4 spot, and if they continue their winnning ways, will find themselves near the top shortly.

Albany (6-7, 1-1) now will go on the road to play New Hampshire (3-7, 1-1).
