The Chones brothers carried the Raiders in the league opener for both teams.
Colgate snapped its three-game win streak and its streak of six straight games shooting under 40 percent from the field in a game allegedly played in front of a season-high crowd of 625 fans in Hamilton. But the win probably tells us more about Army than it does about Colgate.
The Black Knights came in at 10-5 against an admittedly weak schedule. Had they been able to shoot better at the foul line, they would have left Hamilton 11-6. But Army, which actually outscored Colgate from the field, was just 13 of 21 at the line, while Colgate hit 18 of 22. Among the Army misses were a pair from freshman Chris Walker at the end of overtime that would have forced a second extra session.
While the loss confirms Army is not yet ready to contend in the league, the nature of it also seems to confirm suspicions about Colgate. Walker is Army's only legitimate post presence and he played only 15 minutes due to foul trouble, and the Raiders still needed OT and missed Army free throws to win at home.
After trailing by as many as 11 in the first half, Army battled back to take a 63-62 lead on a three from Jarrell Brown, who finished with 30 points, including 8 three-pointers, both career highs.
The Black Knights got a turnover on the next Colgate possession, but squandered the chance to solidify the lead when Marcus Nelson (3 for 9) missed a jumper with the shot clock about to expire.
Army got another stop on Colgate's next possession, but not the rebound, Actually, they got two stops, and failed to get two rebounds. Alex Woodhouse got the second offensive rebound of the possession for Colgate, was fouled and made both to put Colgate back up.
Matt Bell (18 points) put Army back up one with a layup at the other end. But Woodhouse was fouled again, and made one of two to tie it.
Both teams missed potential game-winners in the last 31 seconds of OT.
Colgate opened the overtimes with a 7-0 run, then yielded a 6-0 Army run. Jon Simon made one of two at the line to give the Raiders a 2 point lead with 17 seconds left in OT.
Army went for the win, with Corban Bates putting up a three with 3 seconds left. Bates missed, but Walker got the rebound and was fouled by Kendall Chones with 1 second left, but could not extend the game further.
Kyle Chones led Colgate with 16 points. Kendall Chones added 15 and grabbed 8 rebounds. Woodhouse, making his first start of the season, added 12 and Daniel Waddy had 10.
Colgate managed to end its sub-40-percent streak thanks to a 13 for 26 effort in the first half. In the second half the Raiders reverted to form, going 9 of 25 from the field (36 percent), 1 of 5 from the arc. The Raiders finished 25 of 57 (43.9 percent) with 5 treys on 15 tries.
Army shot 25 of 51 (49 percent), 8 of 18 from three-point range.
