Head Coach Matthew Driscoll on Oscar

"Oscar Berry is one of those guys that has not only put statistics in the books under the lights, but from an analytical perspective, his numbers are some of the best in mid-major basketball. Oscar's competitive passion and determination not only stems from his background in basketball, but in his Australian Rules Football days. Oscar is a player that understands who he is and what it takes to be successful. Growing up as the youngest of four boys has instilled so many good qualities in Oscar, including his genuine compassion for others."

Why UNF? "The family atmosphere is unbelievable at UNF. From the coaching staff to the academic support staff and everyone else in between, everyone is locked in to a common goal and cares for one another." -- Oscar Berry
