Navy blows big lead, opportunity to make move in standings

With six games remaining in the regular season, it is time for the Navy men’s basketball team to start positioning itself for the Patriot League Tournament.

The Midshipmen had a good chance to make a move in the standings this week with home games against two of the schools they are contending with for a first-round bye.

Navy blew a big lead and a golden opportunity to solidify its position in the upper half of the 10-team conference on Wednesday night.

Sophomore guard Justin Jaworski scored 12 of his game-high 19 points in the second half as Lafayette rallied to beat Navy, 80-74, before a sparse crowd at Alumni Hall.
