UAlbany Releases Non-Conference Schedule

After winning the America East Conference for the third straight year, the UAlbany men's basketball team is looking to head to the NCAA tournament for a fourth time in 2015-16.

The first step? Recruit. The second? Release the schedule. UAlbany did some of that on Monday, announcing its non-conference opponents:

DATE	OPPONENT
November
13	at Kentucky
16	at Boston University
19	COLGATE
21	ONEONTA
24	at USF
27	NJIT
29	YALE
December
1	at Quinnipiac
5	at Holy Cross
9	at Marist
12	at Siena
19	SAINT FRANCIS (PA.)
23	NIAGARA
29	at St. Francis Brooklyn
January
2	at Cornell

Obviously the thing that sticks out is the Danes traveling to Kentucky. UAlbany certainly won't be expected to even compete against the Wildcats, but it's a great honor for Will Brown's program to play at historic Rupp Arena.

The other thing that jumps out for the Danes? The Nov. 21 against D-III Oneonta. The Red Dragons will come into SEFCU Arena, and it strikes me as an odd game for UAlbany. We'll talk to to Oneonta coach Vince Medici this morning.

I also like the game against South Florida as UAlbany continues to try to play up in its non-conference schedule.
