Tom Lacey plays with a lot of intensity and emotion, which is normally a good thing for the Navy men’s basketball team.
However, Lacey’s on-court demeanor has hurt the team of late.
On Sunday against Colgate, the senior forward picked up a technical foul that proved damaging.
Navy was leading and controlling the game when Lacey was teed up for saying something to members of the visiting bench. The Raiders responded with a 10-2 run to retake the lead for good.
“I’m a senior and I should know better than to even give the refs a chance to get me on something like that,” Lacey said afterward.
