Colgate finally gets hot
For one afternoon in Annapolis, the Raiders looked like the team most folks expected them to be. Of course the "other" Raiders have played so bad this season, all it did was lift them out of a tie for last place.

Kyle Chones was the only Raider in double figures, finishing with 13. But Colgate (7-13 overall, 2-5 Patriot) got 31 points from its bench and shot 53.7 percent from the field, beating Navy 66-58 in the Mids' Alumni Hall.

It was the first time Colgate shot 50 percent or better against a Division I team since a Dec. 2 loss to Harvard. The Raiders came in having shot better than 40 percent just three times in their past 12 games, ranked No. 294 out of 325 Division I teams nationally in field goal percentage.

Adding insult to Navy's injury, the Raiders delivered the spanking without Kendall Chones and Alex Woodhouse, both of whom missed the game due to unspecified illness.

Greg Sprink had 23 points on 9 of 14 shooting for Navy (11-11, 1-6), which has now lost four in a row and eight of its last 10 after a promising 9-3 start. The Mids shot 19 of 47 (40.4 percent) from the field. Take away Sprink and the rest of the Navy team shot 30.3 percent from the field.
