What to Know

A Patriot battle is on tap between the Navy Midshipmen and the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds at 5 p.m. ET Saturday at Reitz Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with Navy winning the first 66-58 at home on the road and Loyola-Maryland taking the second 76-68.

The Midshipmen were just a bucket shy of a victory on Wednesday and fell 63-62 to the Lehigh Mountain Hawks.

Speaking of close games: things were close when the Greyhounds and the Army West Point Black Knights clashed on Wednesday, but Loyola-Maryland ultimately edged out the opposition 61-57.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Navy is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (10-5), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Loyola-Maryland's win lifted them to 13-9 while Navy's loss dropped them down to 14-8. We'll see if Loyola-Maryland can repeat their recent success or if the Midshipmen bounce back and reverse their fortune.
