Birmingham, Ala.- Freshman Michael Green scored a team-high 19 points, but the Albany State Golden Rams could not overcome a frigid night from the free throw line. ASU was 12-of-28 from the charity stripe, which led to an 88-80 loss to Lane College in the first round of the 2015 SIAC Men’s Basketball Championship Tournament. With the loss, Albany State (the SIAC East 6th seed) ends its season with a 5-22 overall record. The Dragons (#3W) are now 17-12 overall and will move on to the second round where they will face the winner of Morehouse College (#2E) and Central State (#7W).

In the second half, Lane’s Rodney Clarke hit a jumper to give Lane a 67-51 lead at the 12:04 mark. ASU continued to stay in contention for the rest of the half. Green nailed his second three-pointer of the night to cut the deficit to 82-77 with 57 seconds left.

Jordan Floyd added 14 points, and Keldreion Miller had 11 points and five rebounds. Senior Earl Farnum played his final game for Albany State. He had five points and seven rebounds.
