Sunday morning readaround
  • John Feinstein checks in with his first hoops column of the season in today's Washington Post. In the column, he advises D.C. area folks to keep an eye on American:
    The Eagles have every starter and every key backup returning from a team that was probably playing better than anyone in the Patriot League other than Bucknell at the end of last season. Jeff Jones is another guy who can coach.
    Holy Cross and Lehigh would probably dispute part of that statement, and at least one of them would be right. But Feinstein is on the money about AU's prospects. The Eagles do have a chance to be pretty good this season.

  • As usual, lots in the Albany Times-Union about Bucknell's opening night opponent, the Albany Great Danes. Start with the profile of the coach of the team favored to win the America East Conference. And catch up on the Danes' Friday night exhibition win over some Canadian team. The T-U says 3,000 tickets have been sold for Friday's opener in the Danes' newly renamed 4,500-seat arena. The Times-Union also profiles former Lehigh and current Siena coach Fran McCaffery.

  • The AP has a profile of former Holy Cross head coach George Blaney, who is now an assistant at UConn. You can read it on the New York Times site.

  • Take a quick look at Holy Cross with a capsule preview in the Worcester Telegram-Gazette.
