Hatters Host North Alabama on Senior Day

Stetson men's basketball closes out the home portion of their 2018-19 schedule when the Hatters host ASUN Conference foe North Alabama, 4 p.m., Saturday at Edmunds Center. The game will be live streamed on ESPN+.
 
Not only is Saturday the home finale for the Hatters (6-22 overall, 2-11 ASUN) but it is also Senior Day. The Hatters will honor senior guard Leo Goodman in pregame festivities as he plays his final home contest.
 
Stetson enters the game needing a win as the Hatters look to secure their spot in next month's ASUN Tournament. The Hatters stumbled on Wednesday as NJIT rallied for an 82-77 win in Newark, N.J. Junior Ricardo Lynch led three players in double figures with a career-high 21 points.
 
North Alabama (9-19, 6-7) has already clinched a spot in the conference tournament and the Lions are looking to sew up one of the top four seeds and a home game for the quarterfinal round. The Lions enter the weekend sixth in the league standings, but they are just a half-game out of fourth.
