Navy men's basketball can accomplish something on Saturday it hasn't done in 16 years. The Midshipmen are seeking their seventh straight victory versus Patriot League opponents.
Navy hasn't fashioned a conference winning streak that long since 2001. The Midshipmen won 12 in a row over a span of two seasons starting in 2000.
Head coach Ed DeChellis said several factors are responsible for the recent surge, which has propelled Navy (11-10, 6-3) into a three-way tie for second place in the Patriot League standings. The Midshipmen have suddenly found a level of cohesion that was missing for most of the season.
