Albany, GA – Postseason basketball has arrived! The #3 seed Albany State Golden Rams are ready to kick off their SIAC Tournament run as they host the #6 seed Lane College Dragons in a highly anticipated first-round matchup on Saturday, March 1, 2025, at 1 PM inside the West Campus Arena. With a chance to advance deeper into the tournament, the Golden Rams will look to protect home court and build momentum in front of their fans.

The Golden Rams (17-11, 14-7 SIAC) closed out the regular season strong, securing the #3 seed in the East, while Lane College (7-18, 7-13 SIAC) battled through a tough schedule to claim the #6 seed in the West.

The last meeting between these two teams was nothing short of a classic. On January 2, 2025, the Dragons pushed the Golden Rams to double overtime in a thrilling back-and-forth contest. Albany State ultimately prevailed 104-101, showcasing their resilience and ability to close out tight games. Fans can expect another intense battle as both teams fight for survival in the tournament.

The Golden Rams will rely on the leadership of Shakur Poteat, who has been a consistent force on both ends of the court. Blaise Wallace will also be a key factor, looking to replicate his strong performances in the paint.
