The University of North Florida men’s basketball team is out to the best start in program history. Can the Ospreys keep it going against another big time opponent on Tuesday night?

University of North Florida men’s basketball head coach Matthew Driscoll has come quite a long way from his humble beginnings to the recordbooks of the ASUN conference.

The partnership is a seven-year, $2.1 million agreement that includes facility improvements that will have an impact on all student-athletes across North Florida’s athletics department and spectators.

It is time for the River City Rumble. JU and UNF are ready to renew their annual rivalry Saturday.

The school announced on Friday that Driscoll had agreed in principle to an extension that keeps him with the program through May 2025. Driscoll has coached the Ospreys for 11 seasons and led UNF to its third regular season Atlantic Sun Conference title in the past six seasons. During his time at UNF, Coach Driscoll has established a standard for developing a championship-level culture both on and off the court. Our team’s on-court successes are important but just as important to me has been the solid character of men that Coach Driscoll and his staff have produced in the classroom and the community. He has been an important and integral factor in demonstrating a unique UNF while connecting our team, the athletic department, the UNF campus and our Jacksonville community together.
