Led by Amal McCaskill's 28 points and 14 rebounds, and a trio of three-pointers from Lucious Jordan, the Albany Patroons defeated the East Kentucky Miners 118-107 [7-0], sweeping all four quarters and taking all seven quarter-points. The Miners were led by James "Boo" Jackson, who notched 30 points for the visiting team.
For Albany, Nat Burton delivered 27 points on 11-of-12 shooting from the floor, while Chad Timblerlake notched 12 clutch points and two steals. New Albany signee Dayshawn Wright had 16 points and blocked two shots, including one monster block that actually knocked Wright and the opposing Miner player into the first row sidelines.
Albany and East Kentucky play again this Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
 | Chad Timberlake looks to pass around Jason McLeish. |
|
 | You're going to send two guys up against Amal McCaskill? You KNOW that's not going to work in your favor, don't you? |

 | Nat Burton works the ball up the court. |

 | Lucious Jordan changed his uniform number from "4" to "43" - whether it meant honoring Richard Petty or Troy Polamalu, no one knows. But the way he was shooting, he reminded me of another Patroon who once wore #5. |
