Following his team’s 96-56 drubbing at the hands of Kentucky on Wednesday afternoon, North Florida head coach Matthew Driscoll pinpointed what he sees as a key component to a successful rest of the season for these Wildcats.
Driscoll was an assistant coach at Baylor and Clemson for a combined 11 seasons. He’s been in the profession for 35 years and is in his 14th season as head coach of the Ospreys, who he said had just played their 91st “guaranteed money” game — where a lesser-regarded team travels to play a more highly touted opponent, and gets a check in return for the expected beating — during his tenure at the school.
After this particular money game, Driscoll wanted to talk about “the Reeves kid — number 12.”
