Army Black Knights

The Black Knights were favored four times in 2025-26 and covered none of them. As underdogs they won seven times, five of them on the road.

Never as favorites

Army were favored by the spread in four games, Binghamton, Loyola Maryland, Holy Cross and Bucknell, and covered none. They won two of the four. Eight other Division I teams also went without a favorite cover; none did worse.

Seven upsets

As underdogs they won 7 of 26 and covered 12 of 25. Five of the wins came on the road: at Fairleigh Dickinson at +180, at UMBC 63-60 on 12 December at +295, at Lehigh at +170, at Bucknell 87-84 at +170 and at Loyola Maryland 87-77 at +180. The 24 priced underdog games still lost 4.9 units.

Home and road

At home Army were 6-10 and covered 4 of 14, a 28.6% rate with just 29 teams below it, and the 12 priced home games lost 5.12. On the road they were 5-10, but covered 8 of 15 and the moneyline came out 0.05 units down, close to even.

December and February

December was 4-1 and made 4.76 units. February was 1-7 with a single cover, the Loyola Maryland road win, and lost 5.2. The season ended with four straight defeats, the last 65-55 at Bucknell in the Patriot League’s first round.

The Patriot League

Lehigh lost both meetings and Army covered both, for 2.75 units. Navy, American, Boston University and Lafayette each won both of theirs, and Army covered none of those eight. Bucknell won two of three.

The total

Army’s totals leaned slightly over, 17 to 13, with the Black Knights allowing 77.22 points a game and scoring 72.16. The 114-59 home loss to Duke in November, with Army getting 33.5, went 20.5 points over its 152.5.
