ABOUT THE GAME
· Much is on the line Saturday when Bloomsburg invades Pucillo Gymnasium riding a two-game winning streak. The Huskies shocked East Stroudsburg Wednesday in overtime to pull to 4-3 in PSAC East play. The Marauders earned a much-needed road victory at Shippensburg on the same night to improve to 3-4 in the division. Currently, four teams are within a game of the final two playoff spots. Millersville and Bloomsburg are both surging. Millersville has won three of five since opening league play 0-2. Bloom has won three of four.
· Freshman Mike Holley has won three PSAC East Freshman of the Week awards but has had an up-and-down season. He is the engine that drives Millersville to success. In the team's eight wins, Holley scores almost two points per game more (12.6 to 10.7). But the real difference is in his efficiency. He shoots .389 in wins compared to .278 in losses. From three, Holley hits .448 in wins but just .179 in losses. His assist to turnover margin in wins is +13 but +5 in the team's losses. Holley scored 19 on 4-of-13 shooting from the field and 10-of-13 from the line in the first meeting with Bloom this year.
· Junior Mike Seibert has been red-hot over the last four games. He scored 18 (10-of-11 from the free throw line) in the first meeting with Bloomsburg. Including his 24 points against West Chester, he's scored in double figures in each of the last four and is averaging 15.3 points per game in the stretch. Of his 40 field goal attempts, 28 have come from 3-point range, and he's hit an impressive 13-of-28 from three (.464). He's also made 18-of-20 free throws and recorded 13 steals in the four games. He has hit just 2-of-12 two-point field goals, however. Among PSAC leaders, Seibert ranks eighth in free throw percentage, sixth in steals and sixth in 3-pointers made. In the last two years, Seibert is averaging 10.6 points per game, shooting 36.8 percent from three and 83.1 percent from the line against the PSAC East.
· Led by Mike Holley (1.9 steals per game) and Mike Seibert (1.8 steals per game), Millersville leads the PSAC in steals per game with 9.7. Four different players are averaging more than steal per game. Seibert is averaging 2.7 steals per game against the PSAC East. Millersville is 6-3 when recording at least 10 steals. Millersville is 6-2 when forcing at least 18 turnovers.
· Millersville ranks sixth in the PSAC in free throw shooting (69.4) and has hit 73.2 percent of its attempts in league play. The team has hit over 80 percent of its attempts in three of the last four games and is 86-of-109 (78.9) over that stretch. Over that same stretch, Seibert is 18-of-20, Miller is 12-of-14, Vance is 9-of-11, Brown is 12-of-15 and Obade is 8-of-10.
