BLOOMSBURG (2-1, 0-0 PSAC EAST) vs. MILLERSVILLE (1-1, 0-0 PSAC EAST)
Nelson Field House
Wednesday, Nov. 20 - 7:30 p.m.

SCOUTING MILLERSVILLE
The Marauders were selected to finish third in the PSAC East Preseason Coaches' Poll after finishing with a 19-11 record and a trip to the PSAC Tournament quarterfinals a year ago. Just one starter returns from last year's team. The Marauders plan to run an up-tempo, guard-centric style this season utilizing the athleticism of returners such as senior guard Anthony Coleman (13.7 ppg in 201-13), junior forward Xavier Mumford and Mount St. Mary's transfer Kelvin Parker, a junior guard. In all, the Marauders will rely on seven transfers this year. Millersville opened the year with a 76-72 setback at Wilmington (DE) on Nov. 14 and evened its record with a 69-50 home victory over Rutgers-Camden this past Saturday.
