The Golden Bears come into the game at 14-4 overall this season, which includes a 4-1 record in the P.S.A.C. East. Kutztown has won 5 of its last 6 games, including a win at the then-division-leading West Chester Golden Rams 67-60 on Wednesday.

That win over West Chester moved Kutztown to a three way tie with the Golden Rams and the Red Raiders of Shippensburg atop the PSAC East. Each team sports a 4-1 record. Cheyney and Millersville are each 3-2 in the division, while East Stroudsburg sits at 2-3. Mansfield and today’s opponent, Bloomsburg, sit in the basement at 0-5.

Bloomsburg, as mentioned, has yet to win a game in divisional play and is 8-10 overall this season. The Huskies latest action was a 57-50 loss at home to Shippensburg on Thursday. Despite their disappointing 0-5 record, the Huskies have been competitive for the most part in divisional play. Two of their losses were by 1 point in overtime, while two others were by less than 10 points.

The Golden Bears came up victorious in both meetings between the teams last season. Kutztown won by a score of 71-52 on the road before taking care of business at home by a score of 76-56.
