UMBC 95, Navy 82 -- We'll say this for Navy, there are not many teams that can shoot 40.6 percent from the field and still score 82 points.
The Mids hit 13 three-pointers and were 17-21 at the foul line.
But gosh folks, you have to play the other end of the floor, too. UMBC, a team that came in averaging 64 points per game and shooting just 41.5 percent from the field, shot 58.5 percent with five guys in double figures. Forward John Zito led the Retrievers with 25 points on 11-19 shooting.
Freshman guard Kaleo Kina had 24 points for Navy. Greg Sprink, who has been red hot of late, added 20. But Sprink needed 19 shots to get his 20 (he was 7-19 from the field). Carlton Baldwin added 17 off the bench for the Mids.
Most telling stat: Points in the paint-UMBC 52, Navy 22.
Navy may have lost more than the game. Matt Fannin suffered a kneee injury in the first half and did not return. The Baltimore Sun is calling it a serious injury.
Lafayette 76, Mount St. Mary's 63 -- Lafayette heads into conference play with a 6-6 record after picking up its first road win since November.
Freshman guard Andrew Brown led three Leopards in double figures with 15 points. Bilal Abdullah and Paul Cummins each added 12 for Lafayette, which hit 11 (out of 25) three-pointers and shot 53.8 percent from the field.
