What to Know

The North Alabama Lions and the North Florida Ospreys are set to square off in an Atlantic Sun matchup at 4:30 p.m. ET Feb. 5 at Flowers Hall. The teams split their matchups last year, with North Florida winning the first 82-72 at home and the Lions taking the second 68-60.

North Alabama was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Thursday as they fell 56-50 to the Jacksonville Dolphins.

Meanwhile, the Ospreys didn't have too much trouble with the Jacksonville State Gamecocks on the road on Thursday as they won 88-76. It took 14 tries, but North Florida can finally say that they have a win on the road.

North Alabama is the favorite in this one, with an expected 3.5-point margin of victory. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in four of their nine home games.

North Alabama is now 9-13 while North Florida sits at 6-17. The Ospreys are 1-4 after wins this year, and the Lions are 5-7 after losses.
