Off-And-On Series
The Middies last bested
Virginia in 1967 in a 77-75
cliffhanger. The off-and-on
series stands at 11 wins for the
Wahoos against 31 victories for
Navy. But it would be mildly
shocking if the Middies were to
improve this record tonight at
Halsey Field House, where
there is no admission charge.
Although the Middies are
coming off victories against
Princeton, 59-52, at Princeton,
and Rutgers, 84-70, much of
their success in posting a 9-8
record has come against the
likes of Haverford,
Randolph-Macon and Old
Dominion.
Navy basketball has done
nothing but improve since
Dave Smalley returned home
to the service academy seven
years ago. Last year's
sophomore-laden five managed
a 10-13 mark and the Virginia
scout has said of the Middies,
"This is the best Navy team in
a long time."
