Bryant is showing signs of becoming a better defensive team. Leading the way in that regard is a talented freshman who seems to be coming into his own a little more every game.
Navy learns more in a tough loss at Bryant
Ed DeChellis and his Navy team are learning more about themselves with non-league play winding down. The latest instance of it came in a tough loss on the road in the midst of finals, and they may have found another complementary player.

UMass shows once more why they are ranked once again
If you wanted to get a good idea of why UMass is undefeated and ranked in the polls for the first time in 15 years, Saturday’s 105-96 win over Brigham Young was a microcosm. The Minutemen are dealing just fine with prosperity right now.
