The Ospreys (3-4) have won back-to-back games in their current four-game home stand. Bethune-Cookman enters Tuesday' tilt at 2-4 on the season following a 75-51 loss Sunday at Illinois State.
Parker Smith posted a perfect shooting night for UNF in their last outing Friday night against Jackson State. Smith finished with a team-high 16 points including going 5-for-5 from beyond the three-point line. Travis Wallace and Jimmy Williams each scored 11 in the victory.
