The UAlbany Men's Basketball team has been struggling recently. They have now lost eight straight games in the America East conference.

It's not a must a win for the UAlbany men’s basketball team on Thursday, but a win over Binghamton at home would change the climate of the season.

After a tough non-conference schedule the Great Danes are picking up right where they left off last season when they won the AE and went to the NCAA Tournament.

If UAlbany can bottle Sunday’s performance against UMass-Lowell, they will very quickly become a contender in the America East Conference.

Back on May 3rd of 2015, Danny Mendick was playing shortstop for UMass-Lowell over at University Field, on the campus of UAlbany. The Rochester, New York native went 1-3 with 2 walks and a run scored in the America East match-up. The former Riverhawk played a flawless shortstop that day. A few weeks later, Mendick was selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 22nd round of the MLB draft. Fast forward 7-years and a few months and that former foe of the Great Danes, Danny Mendick, just signed a $1 million contract to play for Steve Cohen's star-studded, super-team in Queens.

Wednesday night was a much needed win for the UAlbany men's basketball team. They defeated the Long Island Sharks 76-59 and ended the game on a 31-16 run.

The names on the front of the jerseys will be the same but almost everything about this year's Albany Cup between Siena and UAlbany in men's basketball will be different. Since 2001, the two institutions of higher learning, separated by about 5 miles, battled 17 straight years in men's hoops. 16 times the game has been played in downtown Albany, in what is now the MVP Arena, Siena's home court during the season. In 2016, the game was played the only time at the SEFCU Arena, on the campus of UAlbany.

The UAlbany Football team is coming off of a massive and much needed win over their rival Stony Brook this past Saturday.
