American falls at Brown
Free throws proved to be the difference in the Eagles' 68-55 loss Friday night in Providence.

American fell behind by 14 points early and never got closer than 6 after that, falling back to .500 (7-7) with the loss. The win, Brown's second this week against a Patriot League team, gives the Bears an 8-5 mark.

American didn't shoot well -- 21 of 54 (38.9 percent) from the floor, 8 for 22 on threes -- but that would have been enough to win had Brown not gone to the free throw line 17 times more than the Eagles.

Like AU, Brown hit 21 field goals. The Bears had a better percentage (21-50, 42 percent), but only 6 were treys (on 19 attempts). But American was whistled for 22 personals in the game, sending Brown to the line 26 times. The Bears made 20. AU was 5 of 9 at the foul line.

Travis Lay led AU with 12 points. Derrick Mercer added 11 and Brian Gilmore 10.

Brown's Army killer Damon Huffman led all scorers with 29
