Let the season begin

AU's season begins tonight.

Diaries ::

Well after sweeping two exhibition games the American Eagles begin their season tonight in Fairfield.  Call me nuts but I really think they are the dark horse to upset Bucknell in the Patriot League.  They got a lot of size down low with two guys at 6-10 and a couple more over 6-8.  And they got two former PL Freshmen of the year in the backcourt in Mercer and Ingram.  Add in the fact that there are no freshmen and basically everyone is returning and this team could surprise some people.
