PHILADELPHIA (AP) Albany was poised to make N-C-A-A tournament history. But it didn't turn out to be a great night for the Great Danes.<br>
<br>
Top-seed Connecticut trailed by 12 points eight-and-half minutes into the second half but went on a 20-to-4 run to pull off a 72-to-59 win. That dashed Albany's hopes of becoming the first sixteenth-seed to beat a number-one seed in the tournament.<br>

Marcus Williams scored 21 points to pace the Huskies and Denham Brown added 17.<br>

Albany was led by Jamar Wilson who had 19 points. The Great Danes finish the season with a 21-and-11 mark, their first winning record in nine years at the Division One level.<br>
