LAST TIME OUT...

NOTABLE
- North Florida and Florida will be meeting for the 6th time in program history and the second year in a row at UNF Arena... The Gators are 5-0 vs Ospreys including last year's 97-68 win in the opening round of the NIT 
- Ospreys are 0-17 all-time against teams from the SEC having faced 7 different teams // Marks the 3rd of 4 games vs SEC foes this year (Auburn, Arkansas & LSU)
- UNF's Dallas Moore & Chris Davenport were AAU teammates of UF's Casey Hill
- Gators last visit to UNF Arena drew second largest crowd in facility history (6,011)
- #24 Florida will mark first ranked opponent for UNF since facing #5 Michigan State on Dec. 17, 2013... This will be the first ranked opponent for the Ospreys to play in UNF Arena... With North Florida visiting #22 Syracuse on Saturday it marks the first back-to-back games vs ranked foes since 2010-11 season (#19 Purdue/#22 Texas)
- UNF is playing its 48th game against a Power Conference foe under head coach Matthew Driscoll today vs Florida // Osprey seniors will be playing in 24th game vs high-major opponent (2-21) with wins at Purdue and Illinois
- Ospreys are 31-11 under Driscoll against non-conference D1 mid-major opponents (like size programs)
- Dallas Moore needs just 9 assists to become UNF's all-time leader
- Ospreys have out-rebounded 6 of their first 8 opponents including two games with 50-plus

UP NEXT
- The Ospreys will make a quick turnaround again as UNF returns to the hardwood Saturday (Dec. 3 / 4 p.m.) at #22 Syracuse in the Carrier Dome
