Kutztown moved into a tie for second in the PSAC East with East Stroudsburg – who the Golden Bears defeated 92-87 last Wednesday, Jan. 11 – with a 98-92 victory over Bloomsburg on Wednesday night. The win gave KU its second six-game winning streak of the season – something it had not accomplished since 2008-09. The Maroon and Gold have not won seven in a row since November and December of 2014. Wednesday also marked the sixth consecutive game that Kutztown shot 50+ percent to match a streak from Jan. 10-27, 2010.
Millersville sits one-game back of the final playoff berth in the PSAC East as it has lost seven straight after most recently falling to West Chester, 67-80, on Wednesday night. The Marauders will look to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat to Kutztown, who has swept the season-series in each of the last two campaigns.
