NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The North Florida basketball team makes a two-step through “Music City” this weekend as the squad concludes its current four-game road swing with games against Atlantic Sun Conference rivals Lipscomb and Belmont. The Ospreys open the action Saturday at 6:30 pm (CT) against Lipscomb in Allen Arena.
The Ospreys (10-11, 4-5 ASun) look to build on their road victory last Monday at Kennesaw State. The win snapped a four-game skid for UNF. The Bison (10-11, 5-4) are coming off a loss Monday at USC Upstate.
Saturday's game marks the 13th all-time meeting between UNF and Lipscomb on the hardwood. The Bison hold an 8-4 lead in the all-time series, but the Ospreys have won three of the last four meetings including an 82-61 victory on Jan. 4 at UNF Arena. Lipscomb earned an 80-76 win in the team's last match-up in Nashville.
Sophomore Travis Wallace, who picked up his third A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honor on Tuesday, has reached double-digit points in seven consecutive games including back-to-back 20-plus outings in UNF's last two contests. Wallace ranks second on the team in scoring with 11.5 points per game and leads the squad in rebounding with 5.4 boards a game.
Parker Smith tops the team in scoring at 12.2 ppg and Jerron Granberry is also averaging in double figures at 10.3 ppg. Jimmy Williams, coming off an eight assist performance at Kennesaw, leads the Ospreys in assists averaging 3.3 per game.
The UNF-Lipscomb game showcases some of the league's top three-point shooters as the Bison's Jordan Burgason leads the nation at 3.9 three-pointers made per game (63 treys) and a 53.8 percent shooting percentage from long distance. UNF's Smith ranks second in the A-Sun with 53 three-pointers made.
Fans can follow all the exciting action live on the radio on WBOB 600 AM, The Flagship Station of the UNF Sports Network, as well as online via the radio network link at www.wbobradio.com.
