Albany tops Mount St. Mary's for first NCAA tournament win

D.J. Evans scored 22 points, including two clinching free throws with 12.6 seconds left, to lead the Great Danes to their first NCAA tournament victory, 71-64 over Mount St. Mary's in the First Four.

The Great Danes (19-14) advance to meet overall No. 1 seed and top-ranked Florida on Thursday in Orlando. But that was a concern for another day.

Will Miller, a freshman who came off the bench, led The Mount with 21 points, all on 3s.
