SAY WHAT...
""This is probably our 50th game in my eight-year career playing against teams like this, these kinds of games where you are making large sums of money for your athletic department and after a while it wears on you. We prepare to win every game. We walk on the floor every game thinking we can win. It doesn't matter if it is Michigan State, Indiana, when we beat Purdue, when we beat Illinois, should have beat LSU, this is how we prepare in this program and that is why we are back to back champions for the first time in six years and why we are able to be successful in our league. Arkansas never stopped. (Jaelyn)Barford's three was huge. It broke our back, especially when Macon was making those back-to-back threes as well.

On Dallas Moore:
"I don't remember the last time a guy has had 30 points 3 games in a row against power five teams. I am so proud of him. He doesn't play with a chip on his shoulder he plays with confidence. That's why the pros love him."" -- Head coach Matthew Driscoll

"I have confidence. I shoot with coach a lot, as much as I can because I want to be the best player I can be. There are a lot of things I needed to work on coming into this season, one of those being shooting more threes. I got a lot more comfortable shooting more threes. I just have ot keep being aggressive that's who I am and that's who coach wants me to be, whether I make 20 shots or miss 20 I am going to keep shooting." -- UNF senior Dallas Moore

NEXT UP
- The Ospreys continue their current two-game road trip on Monday night with a game in Edinburg, Texas, against UTRGV. Following that game, UNF returns home to host Thomas University on Thursday (Dec.15) in the team's lone home tilt in a six-game span.
