The American University, a medium sized private school located scenically in Northwest Washington, DC, is the American school.
Its colors? Red, White, and Blue.
Its mascot? The Bald Eagle.
Its League? Patriot.
The American University Men's Basketball team has proven to be the true underdog this year. Slated to finish second-to-last in the Patriot League, the team rode a late season streak to win the league over top-ranked Boston University. Under Patriot League Coach-of-the-Year and first-time head coach Mike Brennan's leadership, the team has triumphed against all odds.
President Obama must recognize the American Spirit and Determination that is represented on this American team.
Go Eagles!
