Head coach Ed DeChellis knows the odds are stacked against Navy going into Sunday afternoon's Patriot League Tournament semifinal at top-seeded Bucknell.
Bucknell (23-8, 15-3) has been the class of the Patriot League all season, finishing three games ahead of Boston University and Lehigh (both 12-6) in the standings. The Bison lost just one conference contest at home.
Navy has lost nine straight games at Sojka Pavilion, last beating Bucknell on its home court in 2010. The Bison have won seven in a row in the series after sweeping the Midshipmen again this season.
