NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Demarcus Daniels converted 4 of 6 from the free throw line in the final minute to preserve North Florida’s 78-73 Atlantic Sun Conference win over Lipscomb Saturday.
Malcolm Smith hit a pair of free throws that put Lipscomb up by two, 58-56, but the Bison then went scoreless for three minutes as the Ospreys (9-7, 3-0 Atlantic Sun) went on a 12-0 run.
Josh Williams broke the drought with a layup and J.C. Hampton scored twice while Khion Sankey and Martin Smith both drilled 3-pointers to pull Lipscomb within a point, 71-70, with 1:21 left.
Dallas Moore’s jumper gave the Ospreys a three-point lead with 32 seconds to play and Daniels closed it out from the line.
