From the AP story:
Andrei Capusan scored 21 points and Lafayette used a late 14-4 run to beat Army 73-64 Wednesday night.

Andrew Brown scored 15 points and Everest Schmidt finished with 11 for the Leopards (11-15, 5-8 Patriot League), who beat Army for the eight straight time.

Sophomore guard Jarell Brown led Army (5-20, 1-12) with 19 points. Matt Bell added 13 points and six rebounds.
The winner of Saturday's American at Lafayette game will be the No. 4 seed in the tournament. The loser gets the No. 5 spot if Navy loses one of its two remaining, tonight at American and Saturday at home against Colgate. Should the tiebreaker between Navy and either AU or Lafayette come down to RPI, Navy would lose out.

The No. 4 and No. 5 teams get to meet in the first round of the tournament, avoiding a first round matchup against Holy Cross or Lehigh. Only Army vs. Bucknell is locked in at this point.
