Well, Todd called it: Navy over Army. He wasn’t the only one to go with the favorite. KenPom had it Navy by 4 and it was Navy by 4. But, as expected, the Cadets didn’t go down without a fight. They lead at the half and had it tied with a minute to go. Good effort, as one might expect, from the guys in uniform.

Here’s how KenPom sees it going down tomorrow night:
Colgate by 8 over Navy
Lafayette by 5 over Boston U.
Bucknell by 6 over Holy Cross
And
Lehigh by 4 over American

Upsets are certainly not out of the question. After all, not one of the favorites owns a swept over their opponent in regular season play this year. Read how each upset happened:

I’m not saying it will happen again but wouldn’t it be nice if it did? That is, of course, in all cases but one.

I’m headed out to Stabler – snow permitting – on Thursday. Hope to you there. TMH, I’ll be about 7 rows behind the LU bench.
