Head coach Ed DeChellis pointed out this week that Navy men’s basketball plays the bulk of its home games during the first half of the Patriot League schedule. The Midshipmen are within the friendly confines of Alumni Hall for six of the initial nine conference contests.
It’s a different story during the second half of the 18-game league slate with Navy on the road for six dates. Needless to say, the Midshipmen need to get some things done while the schedule is favorable, DeChellis said.
Thanks to a bounce-back game by Bryce Dulin and a superb shooting night from Evan Wieck, the Mids are off to a good start with regard to protecting the home court.
