Navy (6-14, 3-4) at Army (11-8, 5-2) – 3:30 PM ET (CBS Sports Network)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day heads to the banks of the Hudson River in West Point, New York for the first round of the Army-Navy game in the Patriot League. After a tough stretch earlier this month where Army had lost five of six games, the Black Knights have won five straight games in conference play and could pull into a 3-way tie for the conference lead (along with American and Colgate) with a win today. Josh Scovens led Army with 25 in their last contest – a 76-71 win at Holy Cross.
While Navy ended a 4-game winning streak with a win against Boston University 62-47 at home, they now have a 3-4 mark in conference play. Two of their wins (BU and American) have also come against teams that defeated Army – another sign of parity in the Patriot League this year that does not feature a clear-cut winner yet. Austin Benigni scored 21 points in the aforementioned 62-47 win at home against BU.
