Army guns down Mids

Army 80, Navy 73 -- How big is the Army-Navy game to the two teams? Just ask Matt Fannin, Navy's captain, who did a Willis Reed imitation, taking the court with the torn ACL everyone figured had ended his season wrapped and braced. Fannin managed 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, but it was not enough.

Matt Bell (24 points) and Cobran Bates (20) led Army. Jarell Brown added 15 and Cory Sinning had 10 for Army, which shot 26-45 (58 percent) from the floor, including 10-19 (53 percent) from the arc.

It was the most points Army has scored in a game in four years. The last time the Black Knights had cracked the 80s was in an 85-72 win over Lafayette on Jan. 19, 2002.

Greg Sprink added 14 for Navy, but he was 3-11 from the field, 1-5 on three-point tries. Navy overall 25-59 (42 percent from the field, 4-18 (22 percent) from three-point range.
