JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 The Jacksonville men’s basketball team fell to visiting FGCU Saturday afternoon, 68-49, to end JU’s two-game home winning streak.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s loss moved Jacksonville to 9-14 and 4-6 overall in conference. The loss also served as the program’s eighth straight to the Eagles.

\nFreshman guard Hayden Wood<\/a> led the Dolphins in scoring with 11 points. It was his second straight double-digit effort and sixth of conference play. Wood also posted a team-high two blocks which was his fifth of the season, all in ASUN competition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fellow freshman Evan Sterck<\/a> was second in scoring with eight points. Wood grabbed six rebounds with Sterck right behind with four.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville led for a majority of the first half before a late FGCU bucket gave the Eagles a 25-24 halftime lead. JU’s 24-point half was its second lowest scoring half of the ASUN slate thus far.<\/p>\n

The ‘Phins followed that half up with just a 25-point effort. Jacksonville took the lead from FGCU which held for a possession before the Eagles retook it, which lasted for the duration of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville won the battle of the boards by one, 38-37. Forward Jaylen Jordon<\/a> snagged eight boards, a game-high.<\/p>\n

The overall game for Jacksonville was hurt by a 16-turnover afternoon and going just 1-17 from beyond the arc. The team’s 3-point shooting was its worst performance of the season. Jacksonville’s 49 points were also its lowest in a game this season.<\/p>\n

JU’s homestand ended Saturday, as the team hits the road for three straight games. Jacksonville visits Queens for a rematch on Thursday, Feb. 5 before another rematch with UWG on Saturday, Feb. 7. Both games will be broadcast on ESPN+ and on radio through 1010XL\/92.5 FM.
