LAST TIME OUT...
- The Ospreys dropped a 98-84 decision on the road at UTRGV. The Vaqueros connected on 12 three-pointers and saw a pair of players top 20 points as UNF lost its sixth consecutive game of the season. Dallas Moore led the way for UNF with 24 points, marking his fifth straight game with 20 or more.
- Thomas stepped out of regular season play to face Nicholls State in the first of three exhibition games for the Night Hawks. Nicholls topped Thomas, 95-63.

NOTABLE
- North Florida is playing at home for first time since Dec. 1 game with Florida and game is squad's lone home contest in a 6-game stretch
- UNF has dropped their last 6 games including five road games and two against Top 25 ranked foes// The skid equals the longest winless stretch in the Matthew Driscoll era
- Thomas comes into the clash having lost their last four contests
- Ospreys are 31-12 under Driscoll against non-conference D1 mid-major opponents (like size programs)
- Dallas Moore's 37-point effort vs EWC (Nov. 14) is the tops in the ASUN this season... Also paces the league with 4 30-plus outings this year
- Ospreys have out-rebounded 8 opponents this season including two games with 50-plus
- North Florida has already played a game on each of the days of the week
- Turnovers have been hinderance this year with the squad averaging 18.9 per game... UNF has had 20+ miscues 5 times this season, after only having 20+ just once last year (21 vs Florida in NIT) and a total of four times the previous 3 seasons combined... Additionally, Ospreys have not had less turnovers than an opponent in any game this season
- UNF has two freshmen starters (Garrett Sams/Wajid Aminu) for the first time since Dallas Moore/Chris Davenport in 2013-14
- Osprey's current 6-game slide matches the longest losing skid under Matthew Driscoll which happened twice before with the last coming Dec. 4-31 in 2010-11
- FEELING CHARITABLE: Against UTRGV, UNF went 0-6 from the free throw line in the first half before making their first 9 en route to a 23-of-27 performance in the second half

UP NEXT
- The Ospreys close out their pre-Christmas ledger with a pair of road games starting Sunday afternoon at Connecticut followed by a game next Wednesday at FIU.
