Mids rally from 25 down, beat Bryant

Hopefully, someone taped the halftime speech head coach Ed DeChellis gave to the Navy men's basketball team on Tuesday night.

Whatever DeChellis said following a completely lackluster effort in the first half worked wonders for the Midshipmen, who delivered the greatest comebacks in program history.

Senior forward Tom Lacey posted a double-double with 16 points and a career-high 17 rebounds as Navy overcome a 25-point halftime deficit to beat Bryant, 76-74, before a sparse crowd at Alumni Hall.

Sophomore forward George Kiernan and senior guard Zach Fong came off the bench to contribute 14 and 12 points for Navy (4-6), which outscored the visitors 52-25 in the second half.
