American: Carr Has Become Both a Shooter and a Target

Garrison Carr wasn't going to catch anyone by surprise this season. Not after averaging more than four three-pointers and 18 points per game as a junior last season, after scoring 30 points in a pair of league road games and scorching Tennessee for six three-pointers and 26 points in American University's first NCAA tournament appearance.

No, this winter promised to be different, and not in a good way for the 5-foot-11 guard who hardly played his first two seasons before rocketing onto the scene a year ago.

Seasoned Eagles Could Cook Up a Victory

The Tavern, the prime gathering place in the heart of American University's campus for the announcement of the NCAA tournament pairings last night, was jammed with players, the pep band, students just returning from spring break, alumni and cheerleaders.

Half the field had already been unveiled when senior guard Derrick Mercer, sitting on a couch with teammates in front of a giant television, turned to Frank Borden and Jordan Nichols.

'I was talking on the side with them and said: 'You know what? I've got a feeling we are getting Villanova,' ' Mercer said. 'Jordan felt it as well. And when Villanova popped on the screen, I was like, 'Here we go!' '
