The North Florida men's basketball team struggled at the end of both halves in a tough 82-75 loss at Lipscomb on Saturday night. Trip Day made 5 three-pointers on his way to a career best 22 point effort.
"We did a lot of good things but moral victories aren't something we believe in, that we coach or are a part of our culture," said Ospreys head coach Matthew Driscoll. "Anytime you have 18 turnovers that lead to 20 points in a game like this, battling for second place in the league, it makes it kind of hard to overcome. We did a lot of good things, but unfortunately we didn't complete it. Completing things has been one of our biggest issues. We've struggled completing the half or completing the game. Eventually, our group of inexperienced guys have to have that experience to be able to do that. Give Lipscomb credit for executing and doing things when they needed key buckets. It was an older, experienced team that knew what they were doing. We have to learn from this, grow from this and then move on."
