 It ain't exactly the Albany Cup, but Siena & UAlbany will do battle in lacrosse on Wednesday at Casey Stadium in the 1st round of the NCAA tournament. Game time is 7 pm, and likely to air on ESPNU.

Meanwhile, the Lady Danes open tournament play Friday at Yale in a matinee in New Haven, Connecticut. Game time there is 1 pm.
=================================================
It's too bad Huckster Hogan landed a sponsorship deal for his Real American Beer with Arena Football 1. A former Corona pitchman has joined the league, and he could show up in Albany on Saturday night.

That would be Jon Gruden, former coach of the Raiders & Buccaneers, and a former ESPN commentator.

Gruden has bought an ownership stake in the Nashville Kats, who will be in town to face the undefeated Firebirds on Saturday night at MVP Arena. While with ESPN, Gruden shilled for Corona Extra, and did a better job as a pitchman than the over the hill Hogan.
=====================================================
The Albany Patroons squared the season series with the NY Phoenix with a 135-115 win on Monday. Barring upsets, the two teams will meet again in the playoffs.
