Last Thursday, the Tribe came up short against the Waves and fell 71-59. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points William & Mary has scored all season.

William & Mary's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Matteus Case, who scored 15 points, and Trey Moss who scored 15 points. Less helpful for William & Mary was Gabe Dorsey's abysmal 0-8 three-point shooting.

The Tribe's loss dropped their record down to 5-7. As for the Midshipmen, they have been struggling recently, as they've lost three of their last four matchups, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-7 record this season.

Keep an eye on the arc in Saturday's game: William & Mary have made nailing deep shots look easy this year this season, having averaged 9.8 threes per game. It's a different story for Navy, though, as they've been averaging only 5.9 threes per game. Given William & Mary's sizeable advantage in that area, Navy will need to find a way to close that gap.
