The American University men's basketball team will return to Bender Arena on Sunday, January 17, against Colgate live on CBS College Sports. Tipoff is set for 2:00 p.m. The Eagles have just concluded a six-game roadtrip and will be playing their first game at home in nearly a month. American will put its 10-game winning streak against the Crusaders on the line Sunday and look to improve to 18-3 all-time against Colgate.

American concluded a season-long six-game roadtrip at Bucknell on Wednesday, falling in overtime, 72-68. The Eagles held a 32-28 lead at the half but put the Bison at the line 15 times in the second half as they made their comeback. Bucknell hit 4-of-6 shots in overtime and 5-of-6 attempts from the free-throw line to secure the victory.

Junior Vlad Moldoveanu recorded his second double-double in as many games at Bucknell, scoring 19 points with a career-high 13 rebounds. Moldoveanu shot 4-of-9 from beyond the arc and added two assists. He was joined in double-digits by classmate Nick Hendra who notched 15 points, six rebounds and five assists and sophomore Stephen Lumpkins who tallied 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting. Freshman Daniel Munoz dished out a career-high six assists  with five points and four rebounds.

Moldoveanu has paced the Eagles in scoring since becoming eligible for competition at DePaul on December 16. The junior is averaging 18.4 ppg while shooting 45.0 percent from the field and 41.1 percent from three. Lumpkins ranks third in the Patriot League in rebounding and second in blocked shots, registering 7.8 rpg and 1.6 bpg, and has added 11.2 ppg. Hendra is third on the team in scoring at 10.7 ppg with 5.7 rpg and a team-best 34 three-point field goals.

Sunday's game will be broadcast nationally on CBS College Sports. Bob Socci will be on the call and will be joined courtside from Bender Arena by best-selling author and Washington Post columnist John Feinstein.
