Early upset on Saturday as Albany defeats Vermont 56-52 in OT. Vermont were down most of the game but ralied when they went into a 1-3-1 zone. Mike Trimboli could have actually won the game in regulation but he missed two key three throws. Trimboli had been sick with a virus and played a poor game and fouled out in OT. Vermont only made 2 3-pointers all game long. Vermont lost their opportunity at the end of OT to tie the game when Albany intercepted an inbounds pass.
