Penn vs Navy Prediction
I’ll stick with Navy but it’s probably not one I’ll mess with. The Midshipmen did a faceplant out of the gate this year, scoring just 39 points in a blowout loss to George Washington in the opener. Navy shot only 24 percent from the field and 11 percent (2-of-18) from outside in that one while coughing up 19 turnovers. The two games since then have gone much better. First was a six-point win over Delaware State. Navy didn’t shoot great in that one either (38 percent) and had 17 turnovers but did have an advantage on the boards 38-34. Following a blowout victory versus an overmatched Central Penn squad on Sunday, Navy is 2-1 overall. I’m not sure they’ll be able to control things in game four, but I like them slightly better than Penn.
Speaking of Penn, their opener on the road versus a great Illinois team went just about how you might expect: the Quakers limped to a 42-point blowout loss. Penn shot just 29 percent from the field with a 62-33 rebounding deficit, but did take care of the ball pretty well on just nine turnovers. The Quakers matched up better (on paper at least) versus Howard in game two. In that one Penn was able to get their first win thanks to 46 percent shooting from the field and 42 percent (10-of-24) from outside. The Quakers held Howard to just 38 percent shooting on defense but did get into some turnover trouble with 18 miscues. Penn needs to get the ball control issues cleaned up in this one.
