ALBANY, N.Y. -- The University at Albany men will find out Sunday night who they'll face in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Both the University at Albany men's and women's basketball teams are headed to the Big Dance.

The men returned last night after their win over Vermont for the America East Championship Title.

This will be the third tournament appearance for the Great Danes. They also made it to the Big Dance in 2006 and 2007.

Meanwhile, the University at Albany women beat Hartford 61 to 52, clinching their berth in the NCAA tournament.

This is the first time both teams will head to the tournament in the same year.

YNN’s Sports Director Marisa Jacques will be at SEFCU Arena with the men's team Sunday night for the announcement. The women's team will learn their fate on Monday.
