<p>AU won last year’s Patriot League basketball tournament and represented the conference in the NCAA tournament. That was the first time AU had ever made to the NCAA tournament.</p>

<p>They’re looking to repeat this year. Since they finished first in the league during the regular season (13-1 league record), they have home court advantage throughout the tournament. They defeated Lafayette 78-56 in the quarterfinals on Wednesday and will host Army in the semifinals on Sunday. With the win over Lafayette, AU has won 11 games in a row and 17 of their last 18 games. If you’re in the mid-Atlantic region, you can watch the Army game at 12:00 noon on Sunday on Comcast Sportsnet.</p>

<p>If they win on Sunday, they will host either Holy Cross or Colgate in the league championship next week. You’ll be able to watch this game on ESPN-2. Holy Cross is the only Patriot League team that was able to beat AU this year; Holy Cross finished the regular season at #2 in the league, with a league record of 11-3.</p>

<p>Go Eagles!</p>
