Men's Basketball Faces Top-Ranked FGCU Homecoming Saturday

2/7/2025 2:00:00 PM

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida men's basketball has their sights set on four consecutive wins against top-ranked ASUN, Florida Gulf Coast, in an intrastate matchup on the backend of another Osprey Homecoming doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 8, with tip-off set for 5 p.m., at UNF Arena.

The conference matchup will be broadcasted on ESPN+. Updates for the games will be made on Twitter/X at @OspreyMBB and on Instagram at @OspreysMBB, as well as through live stats provided by UNF.

It's time to keep this Homecoming train rolling along, as the atmosphere and aura Thursday night at UNF Arena on CSI Companies Court was electric. Once again for the third time this year, we face another first-place upper-echelon team. FGCU has one of the most experienced in terms of Division I games played teams in the ASUN with a sixth-year and couple of fifth-year players leading them nightly. They have put together the quintessential group with perfect balance of interior scoring along with exceptional three-point shooting, plus the ability to attack the rim off the bounce making them challenging to say the least to defend. FGCU is very physical defensively, which forces you off your cuts and constantly sending a message delivering blows throughout the entire possession.
