FROM THE JUMP
>> UNF is 7-8 and 0-3 in the ASUN.
>> North Florida and Jacksonville are meeting for the third consecutive time at the UNF Arena.
>> The Ospreys started off ASUN play with a tough slate, going to (RV) FGCU and Liberty while hosting Stetson.
AN OSPREY WIN WOULD...
-Give UNF its first ASUN win this season.
-Give UNF its fourth consecutive win against JU
-Bring UNF back to .500 on the year.
ANY WAY POSSIBLE
UNF has had a number of different starting lineups throughout the season to accommodate available players. UNF has had six different starting lineups. Summah Evans made her first start in ASUN play at Liberty, while Kaila Rougier made her first start as an Osprey at FGCU.
LAST TIME OUT
LYNCHBURG, Va. - Basketball is a momentum game, and Wednesday night that shone through as North Florida and Liberty traded scoring runs and large leads, but the host Flames (15-1, 3-0 ASUN) got the last push in UNF's 61-50 road loss Wednesday, Jan. 12.
AT THE BREAK
