Navy will want to forget the Alamo(dome)
(Originally posted Sat, at 11:33 p.m., links added at 7:12 a.m.)
Navy's 77-67 loss to Texas-San Antonio was billed as a dress rehersal for the Alamodome, which hosts this season's Final Four.

It won't go down, though, as a night the Midshipmen will want to remember. The Midshipmen turned the ball over 27 times and saw their best player limited to 21 minutes of action by foul trouble.

Greg Sprink, the Patriot League's top returning scorer, fouled out with 13 points, which might have translated into a pretty decent night had he been able to play more than 21 minutes. Sprink was not the only one to hear the whistle a lot. Guard Chris Harris also fouled out, lasting only 13 minutes, and Kaleo Kina (10 points) and Clif Colbert (14 off the bench) each finished with four personals.

The Mids were hit with 27 fouls all together. Another 23 were whistled on UTSA. UTSA went to the line 32 times, making 23. That is 11 more makes and 13 more attempts than Navy managed.

The prime beneficiary of the officials' whistles was UTSA freshman Devin Gibson, who scored 14 of his game-high 19 by going 14 of 18 from the chairty stripe. Gibson also had 7 assists and 7 of UTSA's 16 steals.
