PLAYOFF UPDATE: Kutztown University’s men’s basketball team secured a home game in the first round of the PSAC Playoffs, with Cheyney’s 77-69 win over Millersville Wednesday night. 

                Cheyney’s (10-2) win gives the Wolves the No. 1 seed, and the right to host the PSAC final four, pending a first-round playoff win against the No. 4 seed (either East Stroudsburg or Millersville).  KU will be the No. 2 seed and will face either Millersville or East Stroudsburg in the first round of the playoffs.  KU (9-2) can claim a share of the PSAC East regular-season crown with a win over East Stroudsburg on Saturday.
