ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Tom Lacey had 16 points and a career-high 17 rebounds on Tuesday night and Navy erased a 25-point halftime deficit to beat Bryant 76-74.
The 25-point comeback was the largest in Navy’s history and the second-largest halftime deficit overcome to win a game in NCAA history. Duke overcame a 56-27 halftime deficit (29 points) to beat Tulane 74-72 on Dec. 30, 1950.
The Midshipmen (4-6) took their first lead of the game at 73-72 on Lacey’s basket with 38 seconds left.
