The Army West Point men's basketball team controlled much of Wednesday night's contest against service-academy rival Air Force, defeating the Falcons 79-71. Army's third-straight win also marked its third consecutive victory over Air Force. The Falcons led 9-7 just five minutes into the game but that would be the only time the visitors would hold the advantage. Army answered with 11-straight to pull in front, 18-9, at the 11:48 mark of the opening period. Click here for the video recap: https://youtu.be/tKmQWNURpY0.

A good free throw from Air Force's Zach Kocur cut the Black Knights' margin down to 71-64 but the Falcons wouldn't get any closer than that, as Army held on down the stretch for the eight-point victory.
