"Annoyed, but dealing with it," then, now and always

Appreciator of Felis catus
After Wednesday's defeat of UMBC, Hoyas coach Ed Cooley said Harris-Smith "had not been feeling well, he's been in and out of the lineup, he's been in and out of practice."

FINAL: Navy 61, Air Force 56.

Austin Benigni scores 25 points --- 23 in the second half --- and adds seven rebounds and five assists as the Midshipmen (6-5) earn their first victory over the Falcons since 2001.

Kam Sanders scored 15 points for Air Force (3-8), who dropped their third in a row.
December 7, 2025 at 6:59 PM
Air Force got a Lucas Hobin 3, a missed front end of a one-and-one by Navy's Cam Cole, and an Eli Robinson putback. Falcons now out of timeouts.

Navy's lead is down to 57-53, 21.2 seconds left.
December 7, 2025 at 6:56 PM
Jinwoo Kim gets a jumper to rattle around the rim before finally falling, and it puts Navy up 57-48 with 55 seconds to go.

Under-4 in Annapolis. Navy 49-47.

Austin Benigni with 19 points and Aidan Kehoe with a double-double (10 points, 12 rebounds) for the Midshipmen, who get two Benigni free throws after the TV timeout.

Kam Sanders (14) and Caleb Walker (12) in double figures for Air Force.
December 7, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Benigni now on a personal 13-0 run after a 3, a driving layup and a 3 after the timeout.

Under-8. Air Force 41-39.

Austin Benigni with a driving layup and a 3 on back-to-back possessions as Navy gets back into it. The senior is up to 11 points, six rebounds and three assists.

Benigni's 3 was Navy's first since the 15:30 mark of the first half.
December 7, 2025 at 6:30 PM
Back-to-back buckets by Air Force freshman Lucas Hobin push the Falcons' lead out to 37-28, the largest advantage for either team today.

Danger zone for Navy, which calls timeout with exactly 12 minutes to go.
December 7, 2025 at 6:15 PM
Under-16 comes with 14:19 to go. Air Force 30-28.

A somnolent start to the second half. Just two points between the teams in the last four minutes.

The Falcons' Kam Sanders is into double figures with 10 points.
December 7, 2025 at 6:10 PM
HALFTIME: Air Force 25, Navy 24.

Kam Sanders with seven points for the Falcons.

Under-4. Air Force 19-18.

Mids to the line after the timeout to try to take the lead.

Under-8. Air Force 13-10.

The theme of football scores at the TV timeouts continues (6-3, then 9-6). Caleb Walker with six points for the Falcons.

Navy is off to a 4/17 start from the field. Probably fortunate to still be in a one-possession game.
December 7, 2025 at 5:27 PM

Under-4 in Foggy Bottom. George Washington 87-73.

A night-and-day defensive difference in the second half for the Revolutionaries, who have held William & Mary to 6/25 (24%) since the break.

GW also up to an absurd 56 paint points. More than enough to offset a shaky outside shooting night.
December 7, 2025 at 12:52 AM
Under-8. George Washington 81-70.

Rafael Castro's layup out of a timeout puts GW up by double figures for the first time tonight. He's up to 11 points.
