AU hoops keeps it local

Published July 26, 2011 4:00am ET



Before embarking on its Patriot League schedule, half of the first 14 games for the American University basketball team will be with teams from Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. with a Dec. 17 game at Georgetown highlighting the schedule.

Other intriguing games for the new-look Eagles, who will go small without 6-9 Vlad Moldoveanu and 6-8 Steven Lumpkins, include the Nov. 11 opener at Richmond and a Dec. 22 game at Villanova. American also plays at Maryland-Eastern Shore and Mt. St. Mary’s and games at Bender Arena against Howard and UMBC.

Another interesting date is Sunday, Dec. 4, when AU hosts St. Joseph as part of an afternoon doubleheader. The first game will feature the AU women against perennial national contender Maryland.
