Army Knights vs New Haven Chargers prediction: Army's three-point barrage tests a rebuilt New Haven in its home opener
A slow, retooled New Haven team plays its first home game against an Army offense that shoots threes, and the line says this one is close.
New Haven Chargers covered the closing spread (Army Knights -1.5). The game went under the closing total of 134.5.
| Spread | Army -1.5 |
|---|---|
| Total (over/under) | 133.5 |
- Expect a slow, low-possession game in which Army's three-point volume decides whether it pulls away or gets dragged into a late finish.
- Kevin McCarthy and Army's perimeter shooters against a New Haven defense that ranked 67th in defensive efficiency last season but has since been rebuilt.
- Army is favored by 1.5 on the road with a total of 131.5, unchanged since our feed first saw it; New Haven plays at the 344th-ranked pace.
Army lives behind the arc
Army does not hide its plan. The Black Knights take 53.6% of their shots from three, 23rd of 364 Division I teams, and they were even more extreme last season at 53.4%, third in the country. The difference so far is that the shots are falling. Last season Army made just 32.4% of its threes, 268th nationally, which is a big reason a team picked tenth in the Patriot League finished 11-21.
This season's shooting numbers come with a big caveat. They include a 118-41 home rout of Mount Saint Mary (NY) on Nov. 5, a program scoring record in which all 16 Army players who entered the game scored. The better test was the opener, an 84-50 loss at No. 2 Duke, and even there Kevin McCarthy went 4 of 9 from deep. He is 8 of 16 from three through two games, and Dillon Watt has given Army a second shooter off the bench.
Army's frontcourt is the soft spot. Jacen Holloway and Tate Laczkowski have combined to miss all nine of their three-point attempts. If New Haven can keep McCarthy and Ryan Curry from getting clean looks, Army's spacing shrinks fast.
