Short Story: UAlbany men's basketball traveled to Washington D.C. to take on Georgetown who bested the Great Danes 100-68

Coach Dwayne Killings: "We talked about trying to put pressure on Georgetown.  I thought it was a game we could compete in without our two most competitive guys, DeMarr Langford Jr. and Byron Joshua were not available. I thought we had the energy early, and I thought when they punched back, we kind of unraveled and lost the spirit that we wanted to have. A big part to it was we were changing defenses and they [Georgetown] finally got a good rhythm on that, and then I thought they started to overplay".
