Paulius plays big in AU loss
Paulis Joneliunas, back home on European soil, posted a 16-point, 12-board double-double as American opened its tour with a 79-68 loss to the Gent Dragons THursday.

Arvydas Eitutavicius (16) and Linas Lekavicius (10) were also in double figures for Lithuanian, err. .. American.

Otherwise, not a pretty night. AU shot 36 percent from the field, just 16 percent from 3-point range. Not suprising given it was the Eagles first game since March.

Chuckle moment: The school's press release mentions "Former AU great Raimondas Petrauskas was in attendance." When Petrauskas was last sen in the states, he was averaging 8.6 ppg as a senior at AU. Not shabbly, but come on, certainly not "great."
