AMCC MEN'S BASKETBALL GAME OF THE WEEK: MOUNT ALOYSIUS @ FRANCISCAN
The AMCC is entering the final week of the regular season, which means teams are making their last push to move up in league standings, and for some, to earn their spot in the postseason tournament. Mount Aloysius College (5-18, 5-11 AMCC) currently sits in sixth place, the final playoff spot, however Franciscan University (5-18, 4-12, AMCC) is right on their heels in the seventh spot and still has the opportunity to earn that final playoff berth. Pitt-Greensburg (6-16, 4-12 AMCC), tied with Franciscan for seventh, and D'Youville College (6-16, 3-13 AMCC) in eighth place also remain as bubble teams with the potential of breaking into the sixth place spot. The Mounties will be traveling to Steubenville, OH on Wednesday evening to take on the Barons in the AMCC Game of the Week.
