Three teams have already clinched home games in the first round of the Patriot League playoffs. American can claim the final spot with a win at Navy tonight.
Navy (14-13 overall, 4-8 Patriot), which has won three of its last four, is also still alive in the race for that home spot. Currently one game back, the Mids could claim that spot with a win tonight and a win Saturday at Colgate. In that scenarion, Navy would win the tiebreaker with AU by virtue of the Mids win at Lehigh.
American (13-13, 5-7) has won 12 of the last 13 between these two, including a 55-46 home win on Jan. 24. Navy 's only win in that 13-game stretch was last season in Annapolis.
