COLUMBUS, Ohio -- As the nation recovers from Thanksgiving meals and hunts for great shopping deals, the North Florida basketball team continues its road swing Friday at 5 p.m., against No. 7 Ohio State in the Value City Arena.
The Ospreys (4-3) look to build on a three-game win streak that includes a home-and-home sweep of Savannah State and a record-setting scoring performance versus Webber International. The Buckeyes are a perfect 5-0 on the year including a 4-0 mark on their home court.
Friday's game marks the second all-time meeting between UNF and OSU, with the Buckeyes having posted an 85-50 win over the Ospreys during the 2011-12 season. Only seniors Charles McRoy and Travis Wallace were on the Osprey roster in the team's first meeting.
Wallace paces UNF in both scoring (13.1 PPG) and rebounding (7.7 RPG) thru the first seven games. The Ospreys have been strong on the glass this year out-rebounding opponents by 4.6 boards per game while also averaging almost 10 points a game more than a year ago. All 11 active players for UNF have recorded a double-digit scoring performance this season.
The Buckeyes feature a lineup that has four of its five starters averaging in double-digits led by Lenzelle Smith, Jr., at 11.6 points a game. Shannon Scott is second at 11.4 followed by Aaron Craft (10.4) and Amir Williams (10.0). Williams nearly posts a double-double every game, averaging a team-best 8.6 boards a contest.
The game marks the first of three games this year for UNF against Big Ten squads. The Ospreys will visit Indiana (Dec. 7) and top-ranked Michigan State (Dec. 17).
Fans can follow the action on the airwaves in Jacksonville, listening to "Voice of the Ospreys" Robert Harper on 1010XL AM/ 92.5 FM or online at www.1010xl.com. The game will be carried live on television by the Big Ten Network with live stats available via the OSU website (ohiostatebuckeyes.com).
Following the Ohio State game, North Florida returns to Jacksonville for its only home contest in the next five games when they host Edward Waters on Monday (Dec. 2) at 7 p.m.
