Despite a dozen point advantage at halftime of U of L’s eventual 77-60 handling of the Middies, there was a certain uneasiness at the break.
Justifiably so.
For me, not so much that the Seamen had famously won in Charlottesville opening night. That was an outlier. The Cavaliers are down this season. The game was contested in John Paul Jones Arena, named for the Scottish “Father of American Navy.” (Not to be confused with that other JPJ from across the pond, who played bass for Led Zeppelin.) So Navy was ready for that moment. They lost by 20 next time out to Virginia Tech.
