Why not us?
That's the theme for tonight's Albany vs. UConn game. To which, the answers are numerous:
-no number 16 seed has ever beaten a number 1 seed...ever!
-UConn has several players destined to play in the NBA while this is the first appearance of any SUNY school in the big dance.
-USA Today gave Albany less than a "septillion to one" chance of winning the tournament. I'd love to actually see that as a line; it would be worth a dollar bet, don't you think?
So, the odds are indeed stacked against the Great Danes, but you never know.
I will be heading down to Philly later with Mike, Nat and Phil and hope to have a recap of our trip here sometime this weekend. Till then, GO ALBANY!!

Couldn't you use the Lotto's "Hey, you never know." Instead of "Why Not Us?" THat was the Red Sox's motto in 2004, and we all know what happened then.
