American defeated BIG EAST conference member DePaul 62-57 on Wednesday at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill. Junior Vlad Moldoveanu (mole-duh-VAY-new), who was making his fi rst appearance of the season, made an immediate impact on the team, scoring a game-high 26 points on 8-of-15 shooting to lead the Eagles to the victory. Moldoveanu also grabbed eight rebounds, hit fi ve three-pointers and dished out four assists in 28 minutes of action.
Junior Nick Hendra hit a three with 2:23 to play, giving American a 59-57 lead which it would not relinquish. Hendra fi nished the night with a career-high 17 points and three treys. Sophomore Stephen Lumpkins notched a career-high 14 rebounds as the Eagles outrebounded DePaul by a margin of 39-27.
Lumpkins has paced American this season with 12.1 ppg and leads the conference in both rebounding and blocks at 8.6 rpg and 1.8 bpg, respectively. He has been complimented by classmate Riley Grafft’s 9.0 ppg and 5.6 rpg while Hendra has added 8.7 ppg and 4.9 rpg.
American University Men’s BasketballAmerican University Men’s BasketballOpening ActJunior Vlad Moldoveanu made his American debut on Wednesday at DePaul and passed his fi rst test with fl ying colors. Moldoveanu scored a game-high 26 points to lead the Eagles to a 62-57 victory over the Blue Demons, connecting on 8-of-15 shots from the fl oor and 5-of-10 from behind the arc. He also tallied eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 28 minutes of action.
Moldoveanu saw his fi rst action as an Eagle after transferring to American from George Mason midway through last season. Moldoveanu saw action in 37 games at George Mason where he averaged 2.3 ppg and 2.1 rpg. A member of the Romanian national team, Moldoveanu led his countrymen in scoring and rebounding this summer during the 2009
FIBA EuroBasket Qualifying Tournament, netting 18.3 ppg and 8.5 rpg.
Playing With the Big BoysWednesday’s 62-57 victory at DePaul marked the third time under Head Coach Jeff Jones that the Eagles have defeated a BCS conference opponent. In 2007, American earned a 67-59 victory at Maryland and in 2001, the Eagles defeated Florida State on their home court, 77-72. American’s victories over Maryland and Florida State stand as the only victories for a Patriot League school over an ACC opponent in the conference’s history. The Eagles’ win at DePaul is American’s fi rst against a member of the BIG EAST since its historic victory over then #5 Georgetown at the Capital Center in 1982.
Stepping Up His GameJunior Nick Hendra has averaged 13.5 ppg and 5.3 rpg over the Eagles’ last three games. Hendra has shot 45.0 percent from the fl oor during this stretch and has made 9-of-24 three-point attempts. Against Georgetown, Hendra led the team in points (14), rebounds (9) and assists (4), marking the fi rst time an Eagle has led the team in all three categories since Derrick Mercer (20/7/5) did so against Lafayette in the Patriot League Quarterfi nals last season. In American’s fi rst six games, Hendra was limited to just 5.5 ppg and 4.7 rpg while shooting 29.3 percent from the fl oor.
Cleaning the GlassAmerican has been solid on the glass this season, averaging 36.1 rpg and outrebounding opponents by a margin of +1.8. On Wednesday at DePaul, the Eagles earned a 39-27 advantage on the boards, marking the third game this season the team has outrebounded an opponent by 10 or more. During a two-game stretch in November, outrebounding Manhattan by a margin of +12 and Fairfi eld by a margin of +10. The Eagles American outrebounded opponents by a double-digit margin in consecutive games twice last season but has not done so in three consecutive games in either of the previous two seasons.
Finding Their TouchAmerican has connected on 75.0 percent (39-52) of its free throw attempts over the last three games after struggling from the line during a four-game stretch.The Eagles began the year shooting a conference best 84.3 percent (27-32) from the charity stripe but declined to 57.6 percent (49-85) over their next four games.
150 and CountingAmerican’s 59-53 win over Howard marked Head Coach Jeff Jones’s 150th win as an Eagle. The 2009 Patriot League Coach of the Year has now guided American to 151 wins in his 10 seasons with the team. Jones’s career record stands at 297-233, putting him three victories shy of the 300 win plateau.

Eye on the Eagles is a monthly 30-minute television show which takes an in-depth look at American University Athletics. The season premier episode debuted Sunday, November 29, but can still be seen by accessing video-on-demand on Comcast, Verizon and Cox cable systems. The second episode will air on Sunday, December 27, at 10 a.m.
American University Men’s BasketballAmerican University Men’s BasketballA Tale of Two HalvesThe Eagles have held a halftime lead in six of 10 games this season but have been outscored 378-307 in the second half. Last season, American outscored its opponents 989-869 in the fi rst half and 1,049-1,012 in the second half.
Quadruple the FunThe Eagles had four student-athletes score in double-digits for the fi rst time all season in their 59-53 win over Howard on Tuesday. Riley Grafft led the way with 13 points while Stephen Lumpkins and Nick Hendra each notched 12 and Simon McCormack added 11. Last season, the Eagles had fi ve games in which four student-athletes scored in double-digits and were 5-0 in those contests.
Double TroubleThe Eagles have recorded two double-doubles already this season after notching only two all of last season. Sophomore Riley Grafft earned his fi rst career double-double with a 15 point, 12 rebound performance against Manhattan. Classmate Stephen Lumpkins also recorded his fi rst career double-double with 17 points and 12 boards against Mount St. Mary’s.

American University Men’s BasketballAmerican University Men’s Basketball
In nine seasons as head coach of the American University men’s basketball team, Jeff Jones has engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds in school history. The transformation of the men’s program has culminated over the last two seasons as the Eagles have made back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division I Tournament,
including the school’s fi rst ever trip to the ‘Big Dance.’
The 2008-09 Eagles enjoyed one of the best seasons in school history and capped the year off with a remarkable performance in the NCAA Tournament. American, led by its seven seniors, pushed Final Four participant Villanova to its limits, taking a 10-point lead into halftime and leading by as many as 14 points in the second half. Villanova eventually came back to win the game but not before the Eagles caught the attention of the nation.
American fi nished the 2008-09 season with a 24-8 overall record, matching the program’s record for wins, and a 13-1 mark against the Patriot League. The Eagles led the nation in road wins with 11 and their 59.1 points allowed ranked 11th in the NCAA. For his efforts, Jones was acknowledged as the Patriot League Coach of the Year and the National Association of Basketball Coaches District 13 Coach of the Year. Jones passed American coaching great Stafford Cassell along the way as the program’s all-time winningest coach and fi nished the season with 149 wins at American.
The highlight of an outstanding 2007-08 season was again a great performance in the NCAA Tournament. In the fi rst round matchup played in Birmingham, Ala., America played a tightly contested game against Tennessee. The Eagles trailed by only one point, 50-49, with six minutes to play before the Volunteers pulled away. The NCAA Tournament appearance was the fi rst in program history.
American earned its opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament with a 52-46 win over Colgate in the Patriot League Championship Game. The team went 21-12 on the year, marking the program’s fi rst 20-win season since the 1989-90 season, and won its third Patriot League Regular Season Championship. Along the way American picked up a milestone victory, defeating regional foe and national basketball powerhouse Maryland in College Park, 67-59.
Jones has set the standard for coaching excellence at American and is the program’s all-time leader in wins with a record of 149-121. Jones has also guided American to four Patriot League Regular-Season Championships and fi ve appearances in the Patriot League Tournament Championship Game. He has developed 18 players who have been named All-Patriot League, 20 players who have gone on to play professionally, two players who received Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors and two players, Patrick Doctor (2002) and Derrick Mercer (2008), who earned the Patriot League Player of the Year award.
Such success refl ects his impeccable basketball pedigree: A star point guard who held career and single-season records for assists at the University of Virginia, Jones is the only person to win National Invitation Tournament (NIT) Championships as both a player and coach. Jones is a member of the Apollo High School Hall of Fame in his hometown of Owensboro, Ky., and grew up a student of the game. His father, Bob, coached Kentucky Wesleyan University, leading the team to the 1973 NCAA Division II title.
One of the most respected teachers in the collegiate ranks, Jones left the University of Rhode Island, where he served as an assistant on Jerry DeGregorio’s staff during the 1999-2000 season, to take the helm of American basketball in April 2000, becoming the 17th coach in the school’s history. In just his second season at AU, Jones led the Eagles to the second-best turnaround in NCAA Division I history. The team fi nished with an 18-12 overall record, an 11-game improvement. The 18 victories were the highest win total for the program since 1989-90 and its fi rst winning campaign since 1990-91.
During the 2001-02 season the Eagles captured their fi rst Patriot League Regular Season title, fashioning a 10-4 conference record in the process. The top seed in the league tournament, the Eagles advanced to the championship game only to fall to Holy Cross, 55-52, before then the largest championship crowd in league history and just the second sellout in the history of American’s Bender Arena. The game was also played in front of a national audience on ESPN. Earlier that same season AU gained national
recognition with a 77-72 win at Florida State, becoming the fi rst Patriot League school to ever defeat a member of the renowned Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
During the 2002-03 season, Jones led the Eagles to a victory over cross-town rival George Washington and a regular season win over Holy Cross. The Eagles fi nished second in the regular season and reached the Patriot League Championship Game for a second time.
In 2003-04 Jones guided the Eagles to their second Patriot League Regular Season Championship in three years and led AU to the Patriot League Championship Game for the third straight year. AU fi nished with its third-consecutive winning season for the fi rst time in 13 years and had a six-game winning streak for the fi rst time in 14 years. The Eagles earned an invitation to the Rainbow Classic, where they went 2-1, including a win over NCAA Tournament team East Tennessee State.
The Eagle Has Landed
Jones also led the Eagles to a winning season in 2004-05, as American fi nished with a 16-12 record and an 8-6 mark in the Patriot League, good for third place. With the winning record, Jones had guided AU to above-.500 marks in four straight seasons, a feat which had not been accomplished since the 1974-75 season, when AU completed a string of fi ve straight winning seasons. Jones’s reputation helped the Eagles earn an invitation to the 2004-05 Preseason NIT.In 2006-07 a resurgent AU team achieved a 16-14 record. The winning record marked a period of nearly unprecedented success at AU, as fi ve of the previous six teams had winning seasons, a record accomplished only four times before in the team’s history.

• Jones had a personal highlight with his 100th win at American when the Eagles knocked off Colgate in a thrilling overtime game.
• American went on to the Patriot League semifi nals, where eventual league champ Holy Cross won on a last-second basket.
• Jones joined the exclusive 250-win club.
Other Career Highlights:
• When he became the University of Virginia’s eighth head coach at age 29, Jones was the youngest coach in the history of the Atlantic Coast Conference. In eight years at the helm, he compiled a record of 146-104 for a .584 winning percentage. He led Virginia to six postseason appearances (fi ve NCAA, one NIT), one ACC Regular Season Championship, and four 20-win campaigns. Virginia’s win over Virginia Tech during the 1994-95 regular season gave Jones his 100th career victory, making him the second-fastest coach in school history and fi fth-fastest in ACC history to accomplish the feat. He also directed the Cavaliers to fi ve of their top six seasons for fi eld-goal percentage defense.
• Virginia made its fi fth NCAA Tournament appearance in seven seasons under Jones in 1996-97. Finishing that season with an overall mark of 18-13, the Cavaliers fell to Iowa in a West Region fi rst-round game.
• The 1994-95 season saw Jones lead Virginia to a fi nal mark of 25-9. The program advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight and earned a share of its fi rst ACC regular-season crown since 1983. Virginia fi nished that season ranked eighth in the fi nal CNN/USA Today poll and 13th in the fi nal Associated Press media poll. Those were the highest fi nal national rankings by a Virginia team since 1983.
• In 1992-93 Jones became the only coach in conference history to win at least 20 games in each of his fi rst three seasons. He led Virginia to a 21-10 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament East Regional fi nals.
• In 1991-92 Jones’s Cavaliers posted a 20-13 record and went on to win the NIT Championship. As a result, Jones became the fi rst person to win an NIT title as both a player and a coach and is still the only person to accomplish the feat.
• In his fi rst season as head coach at Virginia, Jones led the 1990-91 squad to a 21-12 overall record. He was the only rookie coach in the nation that year to lead his team to the NCAA Tournament.
Before his eight-year run as head coach, Jones served as an full-time assistant coach on Terry Holland’s Virginia staff from 1986 to 1990, a part-time assistant from 1983-85 and a graduate assistant from 1982-83. During his eight seasons as an assistant, Jones was a part of a Cavaliers program which accomplished an overall record of 162-95 (.630), participating in six NCAA Tournaments while advancing to the Final Four in 1984 and the Elite Eight in 1989. Virginia also competed in one NIT during his tenure.
A Big-Time Player
Before beginning his coaching career, Jones made his mark on the national college basketball scene as a player. After starring at Apollo High School in Owensboro, Ky., he went on to become point guard for the University of Virginia from 1978-82. As a four-year starter for the Cavaliers, Jones was known as a leader and prolifi c passer. With Jones directing a potent offense, UVa compiled an overall record of 102-28 (.785). Jones led the Cavaliers to two NCAA Tournaments and two NIT appearances in his four seasons with Virginia advancing to the 1981 NCAA Final Four and the 1980 NIT Championship. He graduated from Virginia in 1982 with a bachelor of science degree in psychology.
Jones fi nished his career as Virginia’s all-time assist leader (598) while also setting the single-season mark for assists with 200 during the 1979-80 season. Later, as head coach, he saw both of those records eclipsed by his own player, John Crotty. Jones served as team captain as a senior during the 1981-82 season and played in 129 games during his career. During that time he averaged 6.6 points and 4.6 assists per game while shooting 52.2 percent from the fi eld and 74.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Jones was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches 2007 Silver Anniversary All-America Team along with Dan Calandrillo (Seton Hall), Eric “Sleepy” Floyd (Georgetown), Pete Metzelaars (Wabash) and Ricky Pierce (Rice). The award is given to former collegiate stars who have gone on to distinguish themselves after their college careers.
Jones and his wife, Danielle, live in Arlington, Va. He is the father of three children, Meghann, Madison Perry, and Jeffrey Robert.
