Hatters Welcome Florida National on New Year's Day

Stetson men's basketball celebrates the New Year when the Hatters host Florida National, 1 p.m., Monday at Edmunds Center. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3 and can be heard locally on WSBB AM 1230 and 1490.

The Hatters (7-8) and Conquistadors (13-6) are meeting for the first time. This is the final non-conference tune-up for the Hatters before they open ASUN Conference play on Saturday at FGCU.

Stetson turned in an impressive performance in its last outing, taking Big Ten foe Nebraska to the wire before falling, 71-62. Divine Myles scored a game-high 17 points, while Abayomi Iyiola added 15 and nine rebounds, and Luke Doyle chipped in 12 points.

The Hatters limited the Huskers to 34.9 percent shooting, the lowest figure for a Stetson Division I opponent this season.

Florida National was an 84-69 winner over Emmanuel (Mass.) College in its last outing.
