Hatters Continue ASUN Play Thursday, Host NJIT

Stetson men's basketball returns home to welcome Atlantic Sun Conference foe NJIT to the Edmunds Center, 7 p.m., Thursday. The game can be seen on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app, and can be heard in Volusia County on WSBB AM 1230 and 1490.

The Hatters (7-12 overall, 0-3 ASUN) are seeking their first conference win of the season after suffering pair of losses last weekend at Lipscomb and Kennesaw State.

NJIT (9-10, 1-2) has won four of its last six games. The Highlanders feature guard Damon Lynn, who enters play ranked 13^th in the NCAA in scoring at 21.9 points per game.

Thursday's game is a rematch of sorts of last year's ASUN Tournament quarterfinal matchup, an 82-67 win for the Hatters in Newark, N.J.

Tickets for Thursday's game start at $7 and can be purchased on line at www.GoHatters.com or by calling the Stetson Athletic Ticket Office at (386) 738-HATS (4287).
