Game Notes
The University of North Florida men's basketball team will look to celebrate homecoming week by stopping a four-game losing skid when it hosts Campbell on Saturday.
This will be the second meeting between the Ospreys (5-20, 3-12 A-Sun) and Camels (10-14, 7-8 A-Sun) this season. Campbell won the first meeting between the squads, 61-57, taking advantage of 17 offensive rebounds to capture their fifth win in a row against UNF.
The Camels have lost two in a row coming into the weekend. Campbell watched an 18-point lead slip away last Friday night with 3:30 to play in an 87-84 loss to Belmont before dropping their last outing to Lipscomb 83-67.
The Ospreys last win came at UNF Arena on Jan. 30 when the team held off USC Upstate by a point. Since that contest, UNF went onto play a three-point game with East Tennessee State before falling in overtime at Kennesaw State.
The Ospreys also suffered losses to Mercer on Monday along with losing to Jacksonville on Thursday night.

Gameday Notables: A UNF win would give the Ospreys their fourth win in A-Sun play this season, give UNF a season split with Campbell and tie UNF's record for wins at the Division I level … the UNF and Campbell women's basketball teams will get the action started Saturday with a 2 p.m. tip … going into the Mercer game, UNF had allowed its previous six opponents only 58.3 points per contest while holding them to a .399 shooting percentage and a .312 shooting percentage behind the 3-point arc … all of those games came down to the final minute of play with none of them being decided by more than six points … that series of games started with a 61-57 loss at Campbell.
