UNF and JU Face Off in River City Rumble on CSS

Tuesday, January 09, 2007

Macon, Ga. -- The fouth installment of the Suntrust River City Rumble kicks off Tuesday as UNF hosts Jacksonville in one of two A-Sun/CSS games this week. Tonight's matchup is scheduled for a 7:00 pm tip-off. Matt Stewart will provide play-by-play and Sonny Smith will give expert color analysis.

Jacksonville, looking to snap a 23-game losing streak on the road, will rely on leading scorer Jesse Kimbrough and Marcus Allen to lead the charge. The Dolphins' bench has also been an important factor, scoring at least 20 points in the last five games.

Last year’s UNF-JU matchup at UNF Arena led to a record crowd, with 3,031 fans turning out to watch the Ospreys upend the Dolphins 90-78. UNF has lost two straight games to open 2007, while JU has won two straight after dropping six of seven games to end 2006.
