Army rallies from 25-point deficit to defeat Navy

With just over seven minutes elapsed in the second half it looked like Navy was going to cruise past Army in the annual Star game. The Midshipmen had built a commanding 25-point lead and seemed well on the way to a season sweep of the Black Knights.

Navy was destroying Army's man-to-man defense and getting layup after layup. First-year head coach Jimmy Allen switched to a 2-3 zone out of desperation and that decision completely changed the game.

That standard defense befuddled the Midshipmen and Jordan Fox got hot from 3-point range for the Black Knights, who authored the greatest comeback in the history of the men's basketball rivalry.
