The Albany Times Union reports today plans continue for a possible eight-team, early season tournament in Albany, despite the University of Albany's unavailability for the event.

Albany, the defending America East champions, say their schedule is already full.

Officials from the MAAC have discussed the event with the America East, Colonial Athletic Association, Ivy League, Patriot League, Northeast Conference, Mid-American Conference and Horizon League.

The paper says the Big South has decided not to participate. Organizers might also contact individual Atlantic Ten schools, too, the T-U reports.

IN a related not, the story also mentions Siena's scheduling situation and notes the Saints will play at Holy Cross this season.
