The Navy men's basketball team had the scorching touch in a win over UMBC on Wednesday, making a season-high 11 3-pointers and shooting 62 percent from the floor to pull away for a 12-point win.
Against a familiar foe in Penn (2-2), the touch began to elude them in the second half while the Quakers heated up, eventually going up by eight. Navy focused on what it could control with tough defense and excellent ball movement on offense to claw back and win, 70-68, getting the go-ahead basket from Shawn Anderson with 16 seconds left. Anderson led the Midshipmen with 15 points.
