Playing only its third home game of the season, Navy battled ferociously to defend its home court Friday, coming from behind after blowing a 15-point lead to hold off Delaware, 82-76, at Alumni Hall.
After playing red hot in the first half to lead 42-27, Navy suddenly turned cold as Delaware ran off an 17-0 run to take a 47-43 lead with 12:45 to play.
Navy retook the lead, but Delaware took it back and still held the lead at 58-57 with 12:45 to play, but Navy’s offense awoke from its slumber and rallied back for the win.
