DeLAND, Fla. -- The North Florida basketball team tips off a three-game Atlantic Sun Conference road swing on Saturday against Stetson at 1 p.m. in the Edmund Center.

The Ospreys (10-9, 2-0 ASun) are riding a three-game win streak having opened conference play with back-to-back wins over rivals Jacksonville and Florida Gulf Coast. UNF halted a five-game losing skid on Wednesday night with an 80-64 victory over the preseason league favorite Eagles.

Against FGCU, sophomore Dallas Moore matched his career best finishing with 27 points while handing out a personal high nine assists.
Demarcus Daniels chipped in 15 points while Trent Mackey dropped in four three-pointers for 12 points.

Stetson enters the tilt at 5-12 overall and still seeking their first conference victory after falling to JU and FGCU. The Hatters have won their last two home games.

The game will be carried live on the internet on ESPN3 and is also available on the WatchESPN app.


After facing Stetson, North Florida wraps up its current road stretch with a trip North to play at Northern Kentucky (Jan. 22) and Lipscomb (Jan. 24).
