BRADFORD, Pa. -- The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford men's basketball team will return to Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference action Saturday hosting Mount Aloysius in the KOA Arena.

Desmond Brogsdale is second in the conference and 79th in NCAA Division III with 2.1 steals per game.

Mount Aloysius enters the KOA Arena in the upper echelon of the conference at 7-6 overall and 4-2 in AMCC games, good for third place. The Mounties allow the second-fewest points per game in the AMCC at 68 points per game. Julian Stover leads the team in scoring with 14.7 points per game while Carlos Palacios drops 13.3 points per contest.
