WEST POINT, N.Y. – The Army West Point men's basketball team couldn't complete the full comeback here Saturday afternoon, dropping a 96-80 decision to service-academy rival Navy in overtime.

The Black Knights used a 15-5 run over the final 36 seconds to send the contest into overtime. What was even more impressive was that Army scored eight-straight points and forced two turnovers in the last 19 seconds to cut the Mids deficit to 74-73 with six seconds remaining. Navy's Shawn Anderson then made 1-of-2 free throws with four seconds left to make it a 75-73 ballgame.
