NORTH FLORIDA HANDS UNA MEN FIRST ASUN LOSS

FLORENCE – North Florida hit 13 three-point baskets and had four players in double figures during an 81-65 win over the University of North Alabama men's basketball team Saturday afternoon at Flowers Hall. The loss gives UNA a 6-9 overall record and evens the team ASUN Conference mark at 1-1 on the year.
 
The Ospreys shot 49 percent for the game and never trailed. The visitors hit four of their first six shots from long range to grab an early double-digit lead. A transition three-pointer put UNF ahead 22-11 with 12:33 remaining in the first half.
 
The deficit later reached 14 when a basket made the score 30-16 at the 6:55 mark. UNA got within seven points on a putback by Emanuel Littles, but could get no closer. North Florida held a late 10-point lead, but took a 37-29 lead into the break after Christian Agnew hit to free throws with less than a second remaining.
 
Two more foul shots by Agnew early in the second half made the score 37-31, but the Lions hit only two of its next eight shots and had two turnovers during a 20-7 North Florida run. The Ospreys hit three more treys during the spurt and grabbed a 57-38 lead with 13:30 remaining.
 
UNA could never get the deficit to single digits. A basket in the paint by Agnew made the score 62-50, but UNF hit two free throws on the other end before adding three-pointers on back-to-back possessions to extend its lead to 70-50 at the 6:11 mark. The Lions never challenged down the stretch.
 
Agnew finished with 17 points and seven rebounds. Tavon King also came off the bench to add 10 points for North Alabama. North Florida (9-8 overall, 2-0 ASUN) finished the game 13-of-28 from three-point range. Garrett Sams had four treys and led all scorers with 18 points.
 
UNA will travel to face ASUN preseason favorite Liberty on Thursday. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. (Central) at the Vines Center on the LU campus in Lynchburg, Va.
