Nov. 14th VS. North Florida
The game started out well for us, with NC Central building a 12-3 lead in the first 5 minutes of play, and then the Ospreys came roaring back to a 27-22 lead with 5 minutes left, but the Eagles would have the last laugh in the first half, nailing a 3-point shot at the buzzer to take a 33-30 lead.
And what did they do with that momentum, you ask? THEY WASTED IT! After battling through a 24-point deficit with 10 minutes left, UNF iced the game with 15 seconds left with a 3-pointer to lead and win 69-60.
Final Score: North Carolina Central (0-1) 60, North Florida (1-0) 69
Despite the inauspicious beginning, I felt confident about my team going into non-conference play.
Freshman Point Guard Towson Riviere had 33 points for the Eagles, and also scooping up 11 rebounds.
