Jarrell Brown became the 20th player in Army history to reach 1,000 points, but it was not enough to make a difference in the Black Knights' 70-64 loss at Hartford.

Brown finished with 24 points, including six threes, Josh Miller added 16, all in the second half. But that was not enough to dig the Black Knights out of a 15-point halftime hole.

Army did manage to pull even at 64-64 when Miller hit his 16h point on a jumper with 1:51 to play. But those were the last points Army scored. Hartford did not make another field goal, either. But the Hawks were 6 for 6 from the foul line in the final 51 seconds.

After a rough first half, Army shot 51.6 percent (16-31) in the second, finishing the night 25 for 56, 9 for 27 from the arc, 7 of those treys coming after the break (7-14 in the second half). Army shot just 7 free throws, making 5.

Hartford, on the other hand, went to the line 31 times, making 21. The Hawks were 21 of 49 (42.9 percent) from the field, 7 of 22 on threes.

The good news for Army: Doug Williams, who has been out all season, was in uniform, although he did not play. Andi Cries Walker returned to action for the first time after getting an elbow to the nose in a Nov. 20 loss at Cornell. Walker was 3 for 4 from the field in 12 minutes off the bench.
