What can you do upon hearing that your first opponent is a team with a winning streak? Laugh out loud - that's exactly what the University at Albany women's basketball team did.

The No. 16 seed UAlbany will play No. 1 seed University of Connecticut on Saturday in the first round of the 2017 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament.

According to the Daily Gazette, members of the team are looking forward to the experience.

"It's a little bit excitement and a little bit of nerves," junior Tiana-Jo Carter said to the Gazette regarding her team's reaction. "UConn is an amazing team. We are just going to go in and play UAlbany basketball."

First-year UAlbany coach Joanna Bernabei-McNamee told the newspaper that the great thing about basketball is: anything can happen.
