Gerardo Suero's three-point play with 38 seconds remaining sent Albany (N.Y.) to a 65-64 win over Mount St. Mary's Saturday.

Suero, who finished with game highs of 28 points and 10 rebounds, was fouled as he laid the ball in to tie it at 64, and then sank his foul shot to put the Great Danes ahead for good.

Albany then took a timeout, and the Mountaineers used the break to sub-in leading scorer Julian Norfleet. He got the ball for Mount St. Mary's last shot, attempting a would-be winning 3-pointer with 2 seconds left that wouldn't fall.

Norfleet had 15 points to lead the Mountaineers.
