No Navy-Air Force this year
Air Force has revealed its schedule for the coming season.

Conspicuously absent are rival service academies Navy and Army. Navy and Air Force had met every season since 1992=93, when Don Devoe restored the inter-academy rivalry to the schedule. Surprisingly, Army and Air Force have met but three times over the years, the last time coming in 1987.

Also of interest to Patriot League fans: Air Force will be in the Cable Car Classic. The schedule shows them facing George Washington in the first round, meaning Colgate will face host Santa Clara in the first round of the four-team event.

With GW and Air Force, two NCAA Tournament teams last season, both expected to be pretty good again this year, Colgate could really boost its RPI if it could win the Cable Car.

As an aside, it looks like Army will open its season in a three-game round robin event at Missouri. The event looks like a three guarantee games deal for Mizzou. In addition to Army, the other teams invited are Stetson (Atlantic Sun Conference,14-18 last season) and North Carolina A&T (MEAC, 6-23). That event is still tentative, according to Missouri coach Mike Anderson.
