MBB Game Preview: Pitt-Greensburg at Geneva

Matchup: Pitt-Greensburg Bobcats (5-0) vs. Geneva Golden Tornadoes (3-3)
Date/Time: Saturday, November 29 | 2 PM
Location: Metheny Fieldhouse

The Pitt-Greensburg Bobcats look to keep their perfect start alive as they travel to Geneva for their final non-conference matchup before AMCC play begins. UPG enters the contest at 5-0, including a 4-0 record against PAC opponents, and is coming off an exhibition loss to Division II Seton Hill earlier this week. In that game, Trent Rozich led the Bobcats with 19 points.

On the season, Pitt-Greensburg boasts a balanced offensive attack with four players averaging double figures:

Geneva enters at 3-3, most recently falling to reigning AMCC champion Pitt-Bradford, 96-88. The Golden Tornadoes were paced by Jonathan Bertovich, who poured in 28 points and is averaging 15.2 PPG on the season. Tommy Coletti adds another scoring threat at 15.0 PPG.

This matchup has been tightly contested in recent years, with Pitt-Greensburg holding a slim 4-3 series lead since 2011. The Bobcats won last year's meeting, 78-65, behind strong performances from Rozich (17 points) and Bigley (15 points).

With both teams looking to build momentum before conference play, expect a competitive battle in Metheny Fieldhouse.
