Quick take
  • Expect a grinding, low-scoring game: Hampton defends well but cannot shoot, and Navy gives away too many possessions to pull clear.
  • Jordan Pennick against Hampton's perimeter defense, which holds opponents to 23.5% from three.
  • Navy is a 1.5-point favorite with a 138.5 total, both unmoved; Hampton's games have gone under twice in two lined tries.

Pennick steps into the lead

Navy won 26 games last season, then watched its two best players graduate. Hampton rebuilt almost from scratch. Saturday's homestand finale in Annapolis turns on whether the Midshipmen's newly minted scorer can solve a defense built to take his best shot away, and the market barely separates the teams.

That scorer is Jordan Pennick. He averaged 7.2 points as a role player last season. Through three games this year he is at 22.7, and he poured in a career-high 29 in Wednesday's comeback win over Penn. Navy has won three straight at home behind him.

Hampton's defense is the problem. Opponents are making just 23.5% of their threes against the Pirates, 21st in Division I. Navy takes 44.0% of its shots from deep, so Pennick and his fellow guards will need to win this game the hard way or find another route.
