KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State men's basketball looks for a third straight win as it hosts the North Florida Ospreys on Saturday in the Convocation Center. The game, which tips off at 5:30 p.m., will be streamed live on ESPN+, with Jordan Griffitt and Terrance Hill on the call, while Nolan Alexander and Matteen Zibanejadrad will serve as play-by-play and analyst on the radio broadcast, available on the KSU Owls App.

Saturday is also a Pink Game for both the KSU women's and men's teams. This year's goal for the Pink Game is to raise enough money to complete the Memorial Hope Garden, a plan put in place last season as a site of reflection and remembrance for those we've lost to cancer. Those wishing to donate to the Pink Day Fund can do so here. 
 
Adult tickets are available for $12 per game, $11 if bought online before the contest. The discounted rate for Seniors (55 and over) and Youth (ages 3-12) is $10. To purchase men's tickets online, fans should click HERE.
 
A FEW NOTES
♦ Kennesaw State has the chance to claim several firsts in the Amir Abdur-Rahim era on Saturday. Thanks to a 62-60 road win at North Florida in the beginning of the ASUN Conference season, another victory over the Ospreys would not only be the first-sweep over UNF since 2007-08, it would also be the first time KSU has swept a conference series since going 2-0 over former conference member USC Upstate in the 2017-18 campaign.
♦ The Owls have already claimed the most wins in a season (11) since 2016-17 and the most league victories (six) since 2017-18. A win would also keep KSU in the race for a first-round bye in what is a very competitive East division. Just two total games separate second-fifth, and the top two teams in each division will receive first round byes in next month's ASUN Tournament, while the third and fourth place teams will host in the first round.
♦ North Florida has played better as of late, winning three of its last five games including a 12-point upset over West leader Jacksonville State. However, the Ospreys have struggled on the road this season, with a 2-13 record and are 0-3 against the East in away contests.
♦ UNF will have leading scorer Jose Placer (14.9 ppg) available, who missed the first meeting.
♦ The returning experience from last season is paying off on the offensive side for KSU, as the Owls' 74.9 ppg average is just behind the current school record of 75.0 ppg, set in the 2016-17 season.
