Ed DeChellis has a logical explanation for why the road team has won six straight games in the Army-Navy men’s basketball series.
“I think the reason is that there is a lot of noise on campus about the game and there is a lot of pressure on the home team,” Navy’s eighth-year head coach said.
That may be true on the men’s side, but the recent Army-Navy history on the women’s side is even more surprising. Navy has a five-game winning streak against Army, sweeping the season series in both 2017 and 2018 while also capturing a matchup in the Patriot League Tournament two seasons ago.
