Linn-Mar senior Matt Lassen has changed his mind and will not play Division I basketball at the State University of New York at Albany, according to a story by Iowa Prep Sports Thursday.

Lassen committed to Albany last season as a junior. He did not sign a national letter-of-intent with Albany this past November, but recently told the Metro Sports Report he planned to sign with Albany this spring.

Lassen, a 6-foot-5 guard, told Iowa Prep Sports that he's decided he wants to play college basketball closer to home.

Lassen is averaging 12 points per game and scored 20 in a 70-50 victory over Kennedy Tuesday night.
