Navy is putting itself behind the eight ball in the Patriot League men's basketball race, and an anemic offense is the biggest reason why.
The Midshipmen saw another conference opportunity fall by the wayside amidst a flurry of missed shots and turnovers.
Senior forward Justin Alston led a balanced attack with 14 points as Boston University blew out Navy, 71-53, before a sparse crowd at Alumni Hall. Junior guards Will Goff and Cedric Hankerson scored 12 points apiece for the Terriers, who picked up their first road win of the season.
Goff and Hankerson both made four 3-pointers for Boston (8-7, 3-0), which used a 13-0 run over the opening nine minutes of the second half to blow the game open.
