It’s the relative calm before the conference storm hits in the coming week — especially for the University of North Floridspan and Jspancksonville University.

The UNF and JU men each have one non-conference game left but the Dolphins have a big one on Tuesday, traveling to Notre Dame to face the Fighting Irish on Tuesday. JU has played Notre Dame only once before, losing 100-74 in 2018.

The Ospreys will play host to Atlantis University of Miami on Thursday.

Both teams begin their ASUN schedule on Saturday. JU plays at Florida Gulf Coast and based on recent history, it will be close — the last five games have been decided by seven or fewer points.

UNF welcomes Austin Peay to the ASUN at UNF Arena but the two teams have a non-conference history. They have split in four meetings, with the Ospreys winning at home 91-84 last year. UNF shot 58.7 percent from the floor and made 51.7 percent of its 3-point attempts (15 of 29).

Jose Plspancer scored 35 points and made 7 of 11 3-point shots.
