SHEPHERDSTOWN, W. Va. – Jaiden McGhee (Townsend, Del./Middletown), Brent Ricketts Jr. (Seaford, Del./Seaford) and Yahmir Satterfield (Philadelphia, Pa./Imhotep Charter) scored 77% of the Kutztown men's basketball points as the trio paced the offense, each in double figures, as KU was downed 88-62 Saturday afternoon at Shepherd in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Divisional game and the season finale for KU.
 
The Golden Bears (4-24 overall, 3-19), a young and mostly inexperienced team all season, should be primed for more in 2024-25 with no seniors currently graduating on the roster.
 
Ricketts Jr. finished with 18 points, McGhee tallied 17 points and five rebounds and Satterfield recorded 13 points and four rebounds.
 
KU opened the game scoring the first five points thanks to a Ricketts Jr. 3-pointer and jump shot in the opening 2:06 to go up 5-0. The Maroon and Gold took their largest lead of the game of seven (20-13) after a 3-pointer by Ryan Glassmacher (Stewartsville, N.J./Bethlehem Catholic (Pa.)) 10:10 into the first half, but the Rams (13-14, 10-12) went on a 20-4 run the final 9:50 to go into halftime leading 33-24. They staked their advantage to double digits just 0:29 in following a shot from long distance and consistently remained there the rest of the way.
 
Amir Cunningham (Middletown, Del./Middletown) contributed five points and five rebounds and each of Glassmacher, Juju Pagan (Tobyhanna, Pa./Pocono Mountain West) and Kameron Roberts (Townsend, Del./Middletown) added three points.
 
Kutztown's 2023-24 season comes to a close. Without any unexpected departures, KU is set to return the majority of its roster for next season. Having a predominantly freshmen and sophomore-laden lineup throughout the season, the Golden Bears will be more experienced heading into 2024-25.
