NAVY 82, Howard 73: The Midshipmen (1-4) overcame 30 turnovers to pick up their first win of the season, beating winless Howard (0-4) in the first of three games yesterday in the BB&T Classic at D.C.'s MCI Center.
The Mids started the second half with a 16-0 run after trailing 38-29 at the break and led the rest of the way.
Freshman guard Clif Colbert started again in place of the injured Corey Johnson. He might be hard to get out of the lineup after leading the Mids in scoring for the second game in a row. Colbert went 5-for-12 from the field, 5-6 at the line to finish with 16 points. He also had three steals.
While Colbert has been on fire, another freshman guard started for Navy and struggled. Kaleo Kina was responsible for over a third (11) of Navy's turnovers.
George Mason 75, AMERICAN 35: You cannot spell "An Ugly game" without AU. When a team trails by 25 (37-12) at the half,ugly might not be a harsh enough adjective. The Eagles shot 23 percent and scored but 35 points while losing by 40 in the second game of the BB&T Classic tripleheader at D.C.'s MCI Center.
Andre Ingram 1-of-8, 3 points -- it was that kind of night for AU. The Eagles shot only 18.5 percent in the first half, scoring a dozen points.
Quinnipiac 67, COLGATE 59 : Cold shooting doomed the 'Gate. They were 7-27 (26 percent) from 3-point range, 38 percent overall. They couldn't even make free throws, going just 4-12 at the line.
Sacred Heart 76, ARMY 62: Army shot better than Sacred Heart from the field, hitting more than 52 percent of its shots. But Sacred Heart went to the free throw line 26 times more than the Black Knights. The Pioneers went 29-36 at the line. Army was just 5-10. Sacred Heart shot 27 of those free throws in the second half, after holding a slim 25-24 lead at the break.
Sacred Heart also outrebounded Army 34-22, including 12 offensive boards that led to 13 second chance points.
As an aside, Jimmy Sewell appears to be back in coach Jim Crews' doghouse. The 6-11 junior, vertically challenged Army's tallest player, was all but a DNP, getting one minute of action. Sewell has started the first six games for Army. Sewell was a starter early last eason, too, then did not start in 9 of Army's last 10 games.
