Colgate 60, Army 41 -- Playing without Alvin Reed, who was injured this week in practice, the Raiders used defense to knock off visiting Army. The Cadets missed the first 12 shots they took and didn't make their first field goal of the game until the 7:17 mark of the first half. They didn't get another bucket until the 3:57 mark, finishing the half 5-21 (23.8 percent).

Colgate was not exactly en fuego in the first half either. The Raiders were 7-20 from the field, and led by just 3, 18-15 at the break.

The second half was a different story, with Colgate heating up while Army continued to scuffle. The Raiders were 14-29 after the break (48.3 percent). Army was 8-26 (30.8 percent), finishing the game at 13-47 (27.7 percent.

Kyle Roemer led Colgate with 14. Kyle Chones added 10.

Jarell Brown had 13 points for Army, on 4-14 shooting.

Colgate owned the glass, outrebounding the Cadets 38-29.

The win snaps a five-game losing streak for Colgate, which had not won since the last time it played Army (Jan. 7 at West Point). The Raiders have lost 10 of their last 11 against Division I opponents not named Army.
