The Navy men's basketball team will play the first of back-to-back home games Sunday when the Mids play host to Lehigh at 2 p.m. in Alumni Hall.

Five Starting Notes
1 – Navy opens just its second stretch of at least back-to-back home games this season when it plays host to Lehigh on Sunday.
2 – Lehigh won both games from the Mids last season to stop a four-game winning streak in the series by Navy.
3 – Four of the last nine games in the series to be played in Alumni Hall have been decided by three or fewer points.  Seven of those nine games have been determined by single digits and the nine games in all have been decided by an average of 6.1 points per game.
4 – Thursday's game at Colgate was Navy's seventh of the season in which the Mids attempted 10 or fewer free throws.  The Mids attempted six shots from the foul line against the Raiders.  Navy opponents have attempted 10 or fewer free throws in just one game this year.
5 – Tyler Nelson made four three-point field goals at Colgate.  It was the ninth game this season in which he made at least three triples.  He entered this season having made at least three three-point field goals in two career games.
