JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 12, 2007) -- With a current three-game winning streak in Atlantic Sun Conference play, the ETSU men's basketball team returns to the Memorial Center for three-straight league games beginning Saturday with a visit from North Florida. The Bucs and Ospreys will tip at 4 p.m.

The game will be highlighted by a visit from former ETSU great Keith "Mister" Jennings, who will be honored prior to the game as one of the Top 5 Fan Favorites chosen by the Buccaneer faithful earlier this season in an on-line vote at ETSUBucs.com. The first 2,000 fans to enter the gates will receive a free replica jersey pin fashioned in the style of Jennings' No. 22 uniform.

The Bucs, who are currently 11-7 overall, 5-1 in A-Sun action, stand one game back of front-running Belmont in the league standings. Meanwhile, North Florida has struggled this season and continues to look for its first league win.
