The Lead

 

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Two days after clinching a berth in the 2024 Atlantic Sun tournament, Kennesaw State (10-17, 6-8 ASUN) meets North Florida (8-19, 2-11 ASUN) inside UNF Arena Saturday afternoon.

KSU defeated the Ospreys in the Jan. 11 meeting earlier this season, 52-43, inside the KSU Convocation Center. Prencis Harden had a team-high 21 points in the victory.

The Owls clinched their berth following UNF's 77-72 loss to Queens Thursday night. KSU has defeated the Ospreys 28 times in series history - the most by against any one opponent in program history.

This is Kennesaw State's final season in the ASUN Conference before moving to Conference USA on July 1.
