What a difference 24 hours makes for UAlbany's basketball teams.
On Monday, the women opened at Merrimack, and won, 58-55. Lilly Phillips (Cambridge) contributed 11 points, while Abby Ray (Saratoga) was held scoreless. Meghan Huerter (Shenendehowa), in her Great Danes debut, finished with 7 points.
Last night was a different story for the men. The pre-game hype surrounding a rematch vs. UMass painted the picture of a homecoming for UAlbany men's coach Dwayne Killings. It didn't feel that way by the end of the night, as the Minutemen raced out to a 10-0 start, then routed the Danes, 92-71. Jonathan Beagle (Hudson Falls) had 11 points for Albany, whose Saturday game at Columbia will air locally on SNY (Spectrum digital channel 320). The women travel to Fordham on Friday.

We'll talk more about this over at The Land of Whatever, but WWE is moving NXT off USA Network come next fall. The 3rd brand will move to the CW, meaning locally it'll air on WCWN (CW-15, Spectrum channel 1212). starting in October 2024. Makes one wonder if NXT will begin touring outside Florida again....
==================================================
While we don't know if he's still affiliated with the Troy Fighting Irish in the off-season, Ryan Job is stepping down as head football coach at Watervliet-Heatly after 3 seasons.
The Cannoneers lost their final 8 games this season after a 2-0 start. According to the Albany Times-Union, Job pointed to a change in administration at Watervliet prior to this season, and a lack of communication as a result, as a reason for his resignation. Better to walk away than get pushed out the door, it would seem. Another factor was a number of players transferring to Shaker, a few clicks up the road from Watervliet's campus.
I shan't be surprised if Job resurfaces at another school before too long.
