Under The Radar Game of the Day – Friday, December 30th

North Alabama (8-5, 0-0) at Jacksonville State (7-6, 0-0) – 7:00 PM ET (ESPN+)

Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day matches a pair of schools from the state of Alabama – North Alabama travels to Jacksonville State for the Atlantic Sun opener for both teams. The Lions of UNA have won 4 out of their last 5 games; this includes a win against Ole Miss on the road as well as a double-digit comeback in the 2nd half against Morehead State on the road. Daniel Ortiz averages 13.2 points a game for the Lions.

Much like the Wright State-Northern Kentucky rivalry, there is a lot of history between UNA and Jacksonville State that took place in the NCAA Division II era. The Gamecocks lead the rivalry series 58-35 that dates back to 1950. Demaree King (16.0 PPG) and former Wright State/Morehead State standout Skyelar Potter (15.1 PPG) lead JSU in scoring this season.
