Bison keep home streak intact
Bucknell's 59-51 win over Navy was the Bison's 27th straight home league win and their 22nd straight league win overall. It also kept Navy 0-for-Sojka Pavilion.

Donald Brown continued his standout play for the Bison, scoring 15 points on 7 of 10 shooting and pulling down 9 rebounds. Chris McNaughton added 12 points on 5 of 8 from the field and John Griffin scored 11 points and dished out 8 assists without a turnover.

The Bison held the Mids to 41.9 percent shooting (18 of 43) from the field, but Navy stayed in the game by making 8 (of 24) threes, while Bucknell was 2 of 13 from the arc. Bucknell didn't help itself at the free throw line, either, going 15 of 27 there, 10 of 18 in the second half.

Greg Sprink led Navy with 18 points. Sprink worked hard for those points. He was 5 of 15 from the field, 3 of 10 on thre-point tries.

Navy led 21-16 with 6:14 to play in the first half, but went 1 of 5 (all three-pointers) the rest of the half while Bucknell took the lead with a 12-3 run.

After the Mids closed to 30-29 early in the second half, the Bison had a 7-0 run to reestablish control. Navy never got closer than 5 the rest of the way.
