Who's Playing
Boston University @ Navy
Regular Season Records: Boston University 21-11; Navy 20-10
What to Know
The Navy Midshipmen and the Boston University Terriers are set to clash at 4 p.m. ET March 6 at Alumni Hall in the third round of the Patriot League Conference Tourney. The Midshipmen are out to stop a four-game streak of losses at home.
Navy earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing this past Thursday. They walked away with a 71-64 victory over the American Eagles. Forward Daniel Deaver and guard John Carter Jr. were among the main playmakers for Navy as the former had 13 points along with eight boards and the latter had 21 points.
Meanwhile, the Loyola-Maryland Greyhounds typically have all the answers at home, but this past Thursday Boston University proved too difficult a challenge. Boston University took down Loyola-Maryland 76-64. The Terriers' guard Javante McCoy did his thing and had 26 points in addition to five rebounds.
Barring any buzzer beaters, the Midshipmen are expected to win a tight contest Sunday. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in nine of their 14 home games.
Navy beat Boston University 72-65 when the two teams last met earlier in the regular season. Will Navy repeat their success, or does Boston University have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.

Where and how to play basketball in summer
Briefly about everything you need to know about playing basketball in summer
Author: David Davletgareev
Summer is the perfect time to experience the best of ball games. Due to the transience of the warm season in Russia, in summer the playgrounds are full of basketball fans, which means you can always find partners to play.
Basketball courts can be found not only in courtyards, but also in many parks. Now in Russia, open areas with a rubber coating are increasingly appearing - they are less traumatic than with options with a hard asphalt surface. In addition, they are much more pleasant to play (better rebound, not so painful to fall).
Basketball 3 on 3 (one ring game) is gaining momentum. Specialized streetball grounds are already appearing in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The best platform for testing your basketball skills today is the legendary Moscow “Rizhka” site, where you can play with the best streetball players in the country.
If you are new to basketball, here are some basic tips on how to behave on the field:
Learn to dribble. This is almost the most important skill in the game. To hone it, you will need training in dribbling (dribbling).
Improve your passing skill. There are 2 basic chest passes. The first is passing the ball to a teammate without bouncing off the floor. The second is a bounce pass, where you hit the floor once before passing. This pass is the hardest to intercept for defenders.
Upgrade your throwing skill. Throw the ball with your fingertips and practice your throw every time. Don't always make tricky throws, figure out which ones are too hard for you and focus on the easier ones. At the end of the throw, straighten your arm fully and keep your elbow above your eyes as you release the ball.
Practice rebounding. Rebounds at the right time can decide the outcome of a game. Your team will not earn points without possession of the ball.
Understand your role. Do not focus only on earning points - this is a typical beginner's mistake. Instead, focus on how you can be more helpful to the team.
Remember that this is a team game. Put the interests of the team ahead of your own.
Learn the game. You need to learn everything about your position and game strategy. The combination of strategy and technique will make you a strong player.
Learn all the rules. Knowing all the rules and their subtleties, you can get an advantage in many game moments.
Keep a low stance. Good defenders play with their knees bent, in a low stance.
Prepare your body. Physics is as important in basketball as technique. Train constantly.
A basketball is something without which the game will not start. His choice must be approached responsibly. To do this, you need to answer a few simple questions:
What surface do we play on?
With whom?
What is our budget?
Basketballs are divided into two categories: for halls and outdoor areas. A typical outdoor surface is asphalt, where any material wears off quickly and needs to be replaced. There is no point in buying an expensive leather ball - you will ruin it in a couple of weeks of playing. A rubber or synthetic ball (such as microfiber) is much better.
Synthetic leather balls are great for indoor play. These balls fit much better in the hand.
7 - adult balls. Their - 760 mm (circle size). These are the men's basketball teams.
6 - women's balls. Size - about 730 mm. They are played by women and boys under 16 years old.
5 - children's balls. Size - about 700 mm. These balls are recommended for children's teams up to 16 years old.
3 is a very small ball, its size is about 570 mm. Suitable for younger kids.
The ball should be inflated so that it can be pushed a little with your thumb - 3-5 millimeters. If the ball is under-inflated, then there is a risk that he descends. If, on the contrary, it is pumped over, then bumps will form on the ball, the geometry of the ball will be violated.
Rebound. A ball thrown from shoulder level must bounce to the waist. Less and more is not good.
The basketball must be round.
The ball must not have any breaks in the coating and no exposed cord.
Enjoy the summer season playing basketball!

The Russian national basketball team will miss the Olympic Games for the second time in a row
The Russian men's basketball team suffered a second defeat in the group stage of the qualifying Olympic tournament in Split, Croatia, from less than stellar opponents and lost their chances of getting into the Olympic Games in Tokyo based on the results of the competition. Gazeta.Ru about why the national team will miss the main start of the four years for the second time in a row.
The Russian basketball team started at the qualifying tournament for the Games in Japan with a defeat in the match against the Mexican team (64:72), which seriously complicated their lives, being left without the right to make a mistake in the game with the national team of Germany.
After the first fight, the head coach Sergei Bazarevich complained about the weak teamwork and lack of concentration at the most crucial moment.
“We made ten turnovers in the third quarter, some players couldn't handle the pressure. One thing is friendly matches, another is a tournament in which so much is decided. And some small things make a big impact. For example, the Mexicans won the rebound under our basket 18 times, and five of those rebounds are team rebounds. And this is what we had to take, but the ball fell out of our hands or something else, ”the specialist complained in an interview with the press service of the Russian Basketball Federation (RBF).
“We controlled the game, and then we sank like that in the second five-minute period of the third quarter. .. Perhaps I should have taken a time-out earlier. We didn't play as individually as we could. The rebounds of the Mexican national team under our hoop are 18 extra attacks. Opponents attacked even with the worst percentage, but managed to win. And we had too few of these attacks,” added Bazarevich.
After a sudden defeat from the Mexicans, in order to overcome the group stage and reach the semi-finals of the qualifying tournament, the Russian team had to not only beat the German national team, but to do it with a certain difference.
The Bundesteam's victory over the Mexicans with a score of 82:76 determined that Sergei Bazarevich's wards needed to beat the opponent with a seven-point advantage.
And during the game, the Russian team succeeded! In the first quarter, the Russians led with a score of 17:7, in the third - 51:41, but the team failed to keep this advantage. By the end of the third game segment, the Germans had won back seven points, and under the curtain of the meeting they took the lead and brought the matter to victory - 67:69.
It is curious that this time the coach of the Russian team was more favorable to his players, noting the progress in their game compared to the match against the Mexicans.
“This is not the result we wanted to achieve in Split. But the way we played today was better than the day before. Bad, of course, but a bad experience is also an experience. Sometimes it’s even more useful than victory, ”TASS quotes Bazarevich.
“Everyone in Russia thinks that basketball is dead. I don’t think so: we have young players who are able to perform at a high level, ”the specialist emphasized.
The main star of the Russian national team, Timofey Mozgov, who this season took to the floor for the first time in three years, was extremely annoyed by the failure to qualify for the Olympics.
“It's sad that we lost. We wanted to go further. We were nervous in the first match, we could have played better. As for the meeting with the Germans, I am proud of it, there are no questions for the team. I don’t care about the personal result, the main thing is the victory, which we never achieved. I tried to do what I can, ”said Mozgov.
“I still don’t understand what will happen next with my career. But I want to play basketball, that's why I'm here," the athlete added.

The Russian national team at an unexpected moment began a cycle of generational change, having already abandoned attempts to persuade experienced players (Alexey Shved, Vitaly Fridzon, Sergey Karasev and others) to play for the national team, but had not yet grown a new generation of basketball players capable of independently taking the initiative on the floor in hands and get results.
World champion Vladimir Tkachenko blamed the very refusal players for the unsuccessful performance at the qualifying tournament.
Will Navy repeat their success, or does Boston University have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
