STORYLINES
Army and Yale will meet for the second straight year after the Cadets came away with a 65-61 win in New Haven, Conn., on Dec. 3, 2015.
Early trends indicate a strong defensive presence for the Black Knights, after forcing 32 turnovers at LIU Brooklyn (11/12) and 29 more at UAlbany (11/16). The most turnovers by an Army opponent last season was 27 against Boston University on March 2, 2016.
Eleventh-year head coach Dave Magarity enters the Yale game just one win shy of reaching 200 victories as Army's coach, with a record of 199-109.
