JACKSONVILLE – The North Florida basketball opens up the second half of Atlantic Sun Conference play with a brief home stand beginning Thursday against Florida Gulf Coast in UNF Arena at 7 p.m. The game is sponsored by Dunn Wellness Center.
The Ospreys (8-14, 3-6 ASun) look to snap a three-game losing skid after dropping a tough decision at ETSU on Saturday. FGCU enters the contest at 14-8, 6-3 following a win over Stetson last Friday.
UNF and FGCU will be meeting for the 15th time with the all-time series tied at 7-7 after the Eagles claimed a 75-73 win on Jan. 7 in Ft. Myers. FGCU won the first six meetings in the series before the Ospreys claimed the next seven matchups before this season. The last eight contests between the two programs have all been decided by seven points or less.
Parker Smith continues to lead UNF (16.9 ppg) and also tops the ASun in scoring for conference play (18.9 ppg). Travis Wallace joins Smith in double digits at 14.5 ppg and is the squad's top rebounder at 5.1 boards a contest. Will Wilson leads the conference in assists handing out 6.8 per game.
The Eagles are paced by the play of Sherwood Brown, who leads them in both scoring (15.4 ppg) and rebounding (6.1 rpg). Brett Comer ranks second in the conference in assists at 6.2 a game.
