UAlbany vs. Siena
Basketball Game
November 27,
2001
Recap by John Ewashko
On November 27th more than 25 brothers
were part of a crowd of 10,285 to watch UAlbany resume its basketball
rivalry with Siena after almost 25 years.
Siena held off the dogged Danes 60 to 48 in a less than skillful
contest that included an outstanding performance by E.J. Gallup who
scored 36 points. Everyone
felt that despite a shaky outing, Albany could have beaten this Siena
team. It was a 2 point game
with 2 minutes remaining. The
final outcome of the game did nothing to dampen the good time had by
those who attended. Many brothers met at the Big House Brewing Company before the
game and at Kelsey’s afterward to catch up with friends and remember
some of the old days. One
highlight was Paul Hepner being honored by the student fans known as the
“Private Pound”. Paul
flew to the game from Florida, fulfilling a pledge made in 1977.
Hepner was given a t-shirt and was acknowledged to be the oldest
alumni member of the “Private Pound”.
