That’s right DC, with Georgetown bowing out of the Big East tournament early, and George Washington not even qualifying for the A-10 tourney (yuck), the only DC proper team left to root for is the American University Eagles-who are in a “win and in” game tonight against Holy Cross.  With a 13-1 in conference record, and winning the last game against Holy Cross 56-50, AU looks poised to make the tournament-something the two Georges couldn’t do.

And yes-Maryland, UVA and VA Tech are all alive (George Mason is done) but their hopes are slim (at best) and they are (also at best) suburb schools.  DC’s only chance at a champion is in Tenlytown.

Tune in at 4:45p tonight to cheer our hometown team along.
