North Florida was expected to have a tough go of it on Wednesday, and, well, they did. They suffered a grim 85-55 defeat to the Florida Gators. The top scorer for North Florida was guard Jarius Hicklen (16 points).

Meanwhile, Austin Peay simply couldn't be stopped on Sunday, as they easily beat the Milligan Buffaloes at home 98-55.

The Ospreys are now 2-9 while Austin Peay sits at 4-3. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: North Florida has only been able to knock down 40.60% percent of their shots, which is the 42nd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. Austin Peay has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 46.80% from the floor on average, which is the 20th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
