UNF says farewell to season at Lipscomb

The University of North Florida men's basketball team will lace up their shoes one last time this season when they take on Lipscomb Saturday afternoon in Nashville, Tenn.

The Ospreys (8-21, 6-13 A-Sun) have enjoyed their most successful season at the NCAA Division level and nothing would top it off better than the team's first win in Nashville. UNF failed to capture that in its first try on Thursday when it fell to Belmont at the Curb Event Center just across town from Lipscomb's Allen Arena.

When: Monday, 7 p.m.

Where: University Center (Macon, Ga.)

UNF's Record: 8-21, 6-13 A-Sun

Lipscomb's Record: 13-11, 7-6 A-Sun

Series: Mercer leads 6-1
