What to Know

The Army West Point Black Knights and the Lafayette Leopards are set to square off in a Patriot matchup at 2 p.m. ET Jan. 16 at Kirby Sports Center. The Black Knights should still be feeling good after a victory, while Lafayette will be looking to regain their footing.

The Boston University Terriers typically have all the answers at home, but this past Thursday Army proved too difficult a challenge. Army beat Boston University 73-63.

Meanwhile, Lafayette ended up a good deal behind the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds when they played this past Thursday, losing 74-60.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Army is expected to win a tight contest Sunday. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The Black Knights were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap when the teams previously met two seasons ago as they fell 73-68 to the Leopards. The defeat knocked Army out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Lafayette with a vengeful fire.
