Navy Midshipmen

Navy has fired women's basketball coach Stefanie Pemper following a 12-year run that finished with two straight losing seasons.

Athletes from U.S. military academies who want to immediately go pro can now do so pending approval from the defense secretary. They also must eventually fulfill their military obligation or repay the cost of their college education.

From the Indiana men beating Penn State to the Navy women topping Lehigh, the college basketball world was filled with dramatic game-winning shots in the final seconds on Wednesday night.

The Flyers felt a bit underappreciated after finishing 27-2 and being given a No. 7 seed by the NCAA selection committee. Even worse, they had to face St. John's on the Red Storm's home court in the first round.

While Navy is the type of team to squeeze every second out of the shot clock and slow down the game, Kentucky prefers a frenetic pace, plays end line to end line and applies full-court pressure.
