2 – Both teams enter the game after layoffs for exams.  The Mids last played 10 days ago and the Tigers were last in competition eight days ago.  This also will be the final game for each team prior to the start of conference play.

4 – John Carter Jr. has now surpassed the 900-point mark for his career (904).
5 – Navy's seven victories before the start of the Patriot League season are the most for the Mids since they posted a 9-4 record during the 2017-18 season.  Navy also compiled a 9-4 record in pre-league games during the 2015-16 campaign.  Before that, the last time the Mids had as many as seven wins was when the 2008-09 team posted an 11-4 record.
