UAlbany Men's Basketball

It’s been a tough ride in America East Conference play for the UAlbany men’s basketball team, but two Capital Region players are having promising seasons.

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.

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.

104.5 'The Team' ESPN Radio, UAlbany Athletics and City Line Bar & Grill announced year two of 'Drive the Lane' with UAlbany Hoops' is set to take off. The weekly radio hour features UAlbany head basketball coaches Dwayne Killings and Colleen Mullen, along with select student-athletes. The show is hosted by 104.5 ESPN Radio's Charlie Voelker and Dan Bahl. 'Drive the Lane' will be broadcast live on Mondays from City Line Bar & Grill on Western Ave across the street from UAlbany's campus.

Dwayne Killings was hoping for better results, but DK did a good job in his first year as the new head coach of the University at Albany men’s basketball team.

This week the University at Albany announced an expanded partnership with ESPN Radio 104.5 the Team that will feature a new basketball coaches show throughout the 2021-22 season. Head coaches Dwayne Killings and Colleen Mullen, along with select student-athletes, will join ESPN Radio 104.5 The Team's Charlie Voelker and Dan Bahl every Monday from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. live from City Line Bar & Grill for a weekly segment entitled 'Drive the Lane with UAlbany Hoops'.

Ok, maybe I don't like polls very much, especially when they are mid-major Division I polls. There are always so many variables. First, they are done by coaches, who are not always the most objective folks when it comes to other programs or coaches. Now throw in the new "Pandemic" rosters, featuring 6th year grad students and the "wild west" in recruiting created by the NCAA transfer portal, well, fans could be in for some of the best basketball we have seen in these conferences, maybe ever.

According to reports by MLB's Jon Heyman, the New York Yankees are verge of adding Texas Rangers slugger Joey Gallo to their already big lineup.

The latest blow to Capital Region sports thanks to the COVID-19 Pandemic has hit the University of Albany Men's Basketball team...again. The current "Full Campus Pause" has shut down practice for the Great Danes and will force the team to cancel the home opener against Marist Red Fox's originally scheduled for November 28th at the SEFCU Arena.

Four UAlbany Great Danes were honored by the America East on Thursday with postseason basketball awards.

The UAlbany Men's basketball program secured it's third straight America East title on Saturday afternoon when Peter Hooley nailed a three-pointer with 1.6 seconds remaining.
