Columbia waked into the Great Danes den 8-0 in their conference. While The Great Danes where 5-3. From the start of the game UAlbany MBB set the tone from deep shooting 46% from deep. Not just relying on three point shooting every member from UAlbany set the tone defensively. Never allowing Columbia to gain momentum.
