The Ospreys host Jacksonville State and Charleston Southern in a mini-tournament. North Florida opens the weekend with a game against JSU on Friday, Mar. 1 at 3:00 p.m., and follows with a game against CSU at 6:30 p.m. The weekend continues on Sunday as the Ospreys play the Gamecocks (1:00 p.m.) and Buccaneers (3:30 p.m.) once again.
