Not even the celebratory atmosphere surrounding Senior Day could snap the Navy men's basketball team out of its late-season swoon.
Point guard Tilman Dunbar, center Will Kelly and wing guard Kendall Knorr were honored in an emotional pregame ceremony, but the Midshipmen could not send those three senior starters out in style.
Senior guard Chris Hass scored 13 points to lead a balanced attack as Bucknell beat Navy, 77-73, on Saturday before an announced crowd of 2,909 at Alumni Hall. Senior forward Dom Hoffman totaled 10 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Bison, who captured their second consecutive outright regular season championship in the Patriot League.
