Navy can't hold off Seton Hall
The Midshipmen led by as many as 15 points, but could not stop Seton Hall from rallying for a 79-75 win.

Two quick Seton Hall runs did the Mids in. The first came midway through the second half. Navy was holding a 58-55 lead when the Pirates scored 19 unanswered points to take the lead for good. During the 3:47 stretch the Mids went scoreless, Navy was 0 for 5 from the field and turned the ball over 4 times.

The second Seton Hall spurt came late, after the Mids had gotten back to within 1 at 69-68 with 4:24 left to play. Over the next 4:08, Navy managed just one Greg Sprink free throw while Seton Hall outscored them 8-1 to put the game away. The Mids were 0 for 4 from the field, including two possessions where they managed offensive rebounds and second chance shots, and turned it over three times during that late stretch.

Sprink finished with 23 points, but the 6-5 senior was just 7 for 21 from the field. Sprink has struggled the past two games for the Mids, going 12 for 42 (28.6 percent) from the field.
