Coach Ed DeChellis said something that struck a chord prior with members of the Navy men’s basketball team prior to Tuesday night’s game against Georgetown.
To paraphrase, the 10th-year head coach told his troops not to worry about the name on the front of the jersey and to focus on the opposing players.
Senior point guard Cam Davis poured in 28 points and hit some big shots in the second half to spark Navy to a 78-71 upset of Georgetown on John Thompson Court at McDonough Arena.
“Really, really proud of our guys. They really thought they could win the game,” DeChellis said afterward.
