What you need to know about Army

It was close but no cigar for Army as it fell 52-49 to the Navy Midshipmen this past Saturday. Jalen Rucker overcame a poor shooting night (4-for-17) by getting to the free-throw line (8-for-9) often and wound up leading all scorers with 18 points in the game.

However, the Black Knights shot just 16-for-54 (29.4 percent) as a team and went 3-for-21 (14.3 percent) from the 3-point line. The loss was Army's fourth in a row but all four of those defeats came by four points or fewer. Expect Army to try to build off of some of its recent defensive successes and hope for a better shooting night.
