COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Following a few days off for the Christmas Holiday, the North Florida basketball team returns to the hardwood for a rematch against Tennessee Tech on Monday at 6 p.m. (CT) in the Eblen Center.
The Ospreys (7-6) and Golden Eagles (7-5) faced off two weeks ago in UNF Arena with TTU outlasting UNF for an 82-80 victory. Sophomore Dallas Moore scored a season best 26 points to lead UNF while fellow sophomore Chris Davenport collected his first double-double of the season finishing with 14 points and a career high 17 rebounds. Dwan Campbell posted a double-double (14 pts/10 rebs) for Tech.
North Florida, playing its fourth consecutive road contest, looks to regain its winning ways after dropping three of its last four including an 80-70 loss at Iowa on Dec. 22. TTU will be at home for the first time since Dec. 7 with hopes of staying perfect at home with a current 5-0 record in the Eblen Center. The Golden Eagles are 141-35 at home since 2000.
Following the TTU contest, North Florida continues its two-game trek through the "Volunteer State" with a game at Austin Peay on Wednesday night.
