Navy 73, Brown 64 -- After the Bucknell-Saint Joe's game Wednesday night, we had a chance to chat with former Bucknell sports info assistant Kelli Sheesley, who now works at Navy, about the Midshipmen's woes. Kelli told us if they could get Greg Sprink going, it would be a real boost for the Mids.

One night later, this is the lead to the AP story:
Greg Sprink scored a career-high 34 points and tied a school record by hitting nine 3-point shots as Navy erased a 16-point second-half deficit for a 73-64 victory over Brown on Thursday night.
Note to Jim Crews: start working on the full court pressure package.

Sprink scored 31 of his 34 in the second half, prompting Brown coach Glen Miller to tell Shalise Manza Young of the Providence Journal:
"We should be able to make adjustments. He was in a zone. You can't just be near him with your hands down and think he's guarded. It's not good enough to be close."
That inability to make adjusments might explain why Miller's team is 2-7. Best learn to make them soon coach or it will be back to directing the big band for you.
