The American University men's basketball team will host Howard
University on Tuesday, December 1, inside of Bender Arena live on
RCN Cable. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. American and Howard
have met 14 times in their all-time series with the Eagles holding
an 11-3 advantage. Last season, American edged out the Bison 65-63
inside of Howard's Burr Gynmasium.
American is led both offensively and defensively by sophomore
forward Stephen
Lumpkins. Lumpkins is averaging 14.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg and
has a team-best 11 blocked shots. Sophomore Riley
Grafft has chipped in 9.6 ppg and 5.9 rpg while
freshman Mike
Bersch has added 8.0 ppg and a team-high 12
three-pointers off the bench.
The Eagles fell to the Unversity of Maryland Eastern Shore on
Saturday, 65-58, to fall to 0-7 on the year. American trailed by as
many as 12 points in the second half before a 12-2 run turned a
seven point deficit into a three point lead for the Eagles, 48-45.
UMES, however, quickly regained the lead at 49-48 and held on down
the stretch for the victory. Lumpkins scored 15 points with a
game-high nine rebounds while Nick
Hendra notched 11 points and Simon
McCormack added 10 points and six boards.
Tuesday's game against Howard will be the first of three games
this season broadcast live on RCN TV. RCN will also broadcast the
Eagles' December 19 game against UMBC and their January 30th game
at Lafayette. The games will air exclusively on RCN TV Channel 8
(Philadelphia, New York City and Washington, D.C.), Channel 34
