Well,
A little improved shooting from the field and foul line have paid some dividends over the past week as the Black Knight 5 pulled off their 3rd consecutive win in the last seven days, almost matching the 4 "W's" earned up to that Point. Today's win over Bucknell had its moments but a late surge in the closing minutes of the first half that delivered an 8 point halftime lead stood a late second half surge by the Bison. Effective free throw shooting by Army kept Bucknell at bay. This team might now be over the hump and are gaining some much needed confidence. Army is now in the middle of the pack, tied with Navy ( going into this evening's action) at 3-3 in Patriot League play. The measuring stick of where we stand will come on Wednesday night in the nation's capital as we meet defending league champion American Univ. on their home floor. On Wednesday, Navy was edged by one point , at home, by American , who carry a 5-1 record in leagued play at this time. The challenges do not end there as Army plays 6 of their next 8 games on the road where they have earned just 2 wins year to date.
