The #14 ranked women's team, coming off an unbeaten season in league play, played #3 ranked University of North Carolina.  It was a close one: final score 59-54. In this her final season, Julie Forster was the first UAlbany woman to record 1,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds.

Led by co-captain Jacob Iati, the #15 ranked men played #1 Duke.  Iati was the high scorer for UAlbany with 15 points and recorded four for four for free throws, three for four 3-pointers, six assists and three steals.
