The Black Knights exacted some revenge on the Midshipmen, pulling out a 56-55 victory to win the annual Star Game. A blown goaltending call at the end cost Army 2 points that would have given Army a 3 point lead for the final Navy possession. A great defensive effort on Navy's point guard caused an errant shot at the buzzer, preserving the win for Army. Exciting game!

Once again, Army's shooting against Navy was subpar, but the defense stepped up and kept Navy withing striking distance the entire game. Clutch shots and tough defense during the 2nd half brought the Black Knights back and secured the Alumni Trophy! Army now is in sole possession of 4th place in the Patriot League.

Next up...Colgate, who just knocked off Lehigh...go figure!

Wednesday's game at Christl Arena will be huge and Army has a chance to string together several wins to close out league play. Go Army! HOOAH!!!
 
Back home after a visit to Annapolis , Md. For whatever reason, Navy matches up well against us. their slowdown tempo and holding for shots until deep into the clock seems to get our offense a little off rhythm. The Army program, as constructed today, is well ahead of the Squids on many levels - depth, size, and coaching. I like the fact then even when not so good things are happening on the floor the entire coaching staff is encouraging and positive. It helps. We still made it harder on ourselves that it should have been. It was an ugly win but given that Army has NEVER been as good as 5-5 after 10 league games and have 2 home games against teams we beat the first half of the schedule HAS TO LEAD TO OPTIMISM, Time to get revenge event #2 on Wednesday against Colgate and a winning record after 11 games in Patriot League play and a .500 record for the season - Oh My !!
 
GO Army..Good on the Black Knights..They persevered and did not the circumstances crush them..Good Victory, Lets keep the MO and put down Colgate on Wednesday
