2025 Tournament PreviewIn his second year at the helm, coach Duane Simpkins has American in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014. The Eagles finished the regular season tied atop the Patriot League but won the conference tournament to secure the automatic bid. That's where the fun likely stops, however. American doesn't have a single win in Quads 1 or 2 and its best victory is a Quad 3 non-conference win against George Washington. The offense runs through 6-9 senior forward Matt Rogers (17.0 ppg, 5.6 rpg), one of seven Eagles with at least 70 three-point attempts. Rogers shoots 39.9 percent from distance while sophomore forward Greg Jones hits 45.1 percent. But American is outside the top 200 in both offensive and defensive efficiency (per KenPom) and ranks 244th in opponent effective FG percentage. The Eagles have a winnable matchup against Mount St. Mary's in the 16-seed play-in game in the East, however.
