Cardinals move up to #4 in the latest USCAA coaches poll.

On Friday, February 7, 2014, the most recent USCAA Coaches Poll was released. The poll ranks the top 20 teams in the nation of some 100 USCAA teams. The AU Cardinals, previously ranked #5, jumped one spot to the #4 ranking in the nation after winning 12 of their last 13 games. The Cardinals, 16-4 for the season, are looking to make history and win their third USCAA National Championship in 4 years. No other USCAA men's or women's basketball team has accomplished such a feat.

"I'm excited about this opportunity for our seniors," states head coach David Jardine. "Another championship would be the ultimate graduation gift to four seniors that have committed themselves to their team and the Cardinal program." This would be the fifth time the men's basketball team has received an invitation to the USCAA National Championship in the nine year history of the Cardinal program. The top eight men's and women's basketball teams in the nation are invited to the Championship tournament.
