Albany stuns Florida
Scoring error mars game; St. Bonaventure surprises Okla. State

Imani Tate scored 28 points and Tiana-Jo Carter's put-back with eight seconds left helped seal Albany's 61-59 upset victory over fifth-seeded Florida in the first-round of the women's NCAA tournament on Friday in Syracuse, N.Y.
It's the first tournament win for the 12th-seeded Great Danes (28-4). Albany overcame a 17-point deficit and played most of the game without its top scorer, Shereesha Richards, who was in foul trouble. Richards finished with 14 points in just 22 minutes, and fouled out with 6:18 remaining.
The win was not without controversy.
An official scorer counted a missed free throw from Florida's January Miller as a point, and the incorrect score will stand because it was not fixed during the game.
The NCAA acknowledged that the scorer made a mistake, but said the score won't change.
Despite the miss, Miller was credited with a made free throw to complete a three-point play with 6:31 left in the second quarter.
The Gators (22-9) unraveled down the stretch, being outscored 19-7 over the final quarter.
The Great Danes will face host No.?4 seed Syracuse in the second round.
Nyla Rueter added 15 points for St.?Bonaventure, which will face No.?2 seed Oregon State on Sunday.
Shayla Cooper had 17 points for the Buckeyes, who will play Sunday against No. 6 seed West Virginia.
