American

Young team returns in 2018-2019 with tons of promise. Can they get back to the NCAA Tournament?

Ugh..a very winnable game. Horrendous foul shooting..50%?!!!WTF. Still too many "hands of stone". Some of these guys seem like they dealing with 'hot potatoes'...We missed Parolin big time tonight.

This stat shows you the lack of depth on this squad. Our bench scored 3 points in this game. 5 bench players played a combined 56 minutes, and put the ball in the basket, once. American got 17 off their bench.

Enough of the Reed is a master recruiter spin.

Meanwhile, Buckville & Easton College with their new young head coaches opened up Patriot League play with wins. Bison also victorious over Penn State earlier. I am now in full blown basketball depression mode. Sterrett & Reed both need promotion to "emeritus" status.......

I've got some bad news for you, the good Doctor is only 51 years old. And, he's about to coach his 500th game at Lehigh. We could get 20 more years of this garbage.

We may have a shot after Brandon graduates. Sterrett will hopefully be retired by then, and Sue is the likely successor. She seems to be a very competitive person and might be able to get something done. Probably wishful thinking, but......

And expanding on this thread's theme (American University basketball), look out for The Eagles. Check out the bio on their new head coach, and the success they've had already. To me they're the team most likely to dethrone Colgate, while we're bleeping in the wind as they go by......
