The collar tightened on Bucknell in the Patriot quarterfinal round, letting underdog Loyola-Maryland push the game into OT at Lewisburg before the Bison survived. Now we'll see about a hat-trick over Navy in the semis after 7-footer Noah Williamson (17.8 pgp) did real damage to the Mids when scoring 27 pg across the Bison's pair of regular-season wins. But Navy has a shrewd coach who once won at NIT (Ed DeChellis at Penn State in 2009), momentum with four straight wins, playing with house money as an underdog, and with a hot scorer in G Austin Benigni, who put 30 on Boston U in the quarterfinals and has hit for 24 or more points three times in the past five games.
