MACON, Ga. - For the second time in less than two weeks, UNF and Jacksonville renew acquaintances as part of the A-Sun/CSS Game of the Week. The Dolphins defended home court, winning 62-55 on Jan. 18

Jacksonville enters the week as the conference’s hottest team, owning eight consecutive victories. Ben Smith has pushed his way into the discussion for A-Sun Player of the Year as he has led the Dolphins in scoring in 12 of their last 13 games.

Under first-year head coach Matt Driscoll, the Ospreys have put forth an attention to defense not seen by the team since they moved up to Division I. They are holding opponents to only 63.8 points per game, tops in the conference. Additionally, the six-point improvement ties Campbell for the best improvement in the conference

The Dolphins have controlled the rivalry, winning eight of the nine meetings since UNF joined the league in 2005.

Matt Stewart and Sonny Smith will be on the call. For those outside the CSS markets, catch all the action on ASun.TV, ESPN360.com or on ESPN Full Court. In middle Georgia, the game airs on same-day delay at 10:30 p.m. In central Florida markets, the game airs on the Bright House Sports Network on tape delay.
