North Florida Ospreys Basketball Tickets
At the University of North Florida, the Ospreys men’s basketball team is heating up the court for the 2019-2020 season. Formed in 1993, this team has transitioned between leagues and has enhanced its skills in just a few years of growth. With its first conference tournament appearance taking place in the 2009-2010 season, the Ospreys entered a new level of play. The squad gained even more support after attaining its first win against a Big Ten Conference team, the Purdue Boilermakers, in the 2014-2015 season. In 2016, the Ospreys earned its first bid to the National Invitation Tournament but lost in the first round. For a team that didn’t even have its own court when first formed, the North Florida Ospreys team has made great progress and is looking forward to continued improvement.
