American beats Colgate 52-46 for Patriot League title, earning first-ever NCAA berth

WASHINGTON (AP)?The pressure of leading American to the NCAA tournament for the first time was getting to the team?s best player, who woke up in cold sweats all week.

?I would have the same dream over and over,? Garrison Carr said. ?And as much as I would try to not think about it, I would still wake up in the middle of the night sweating, with time running down and it being a close game. All I remember was it being close near the end. But we were still able to win it.?

The dream became reality Friday, when the Eagles won the Patriot League title with a 52-46 victory over Colgate. Students and alumni, young and old, stormed the court to celebrate American?s first trip to the big show since the school joined Division I in 1967.
