      That's correct. In coach mode you have to ignore overall ratings and figure out the most productive team you can put out on the floor. I need a good shooter on the floor, and Wood is the only really good shooter on the team.

      He might be rated low, but when he's putting up 15+ ppg I don't mind if he isn't the best defender.

        True, coach mode/CvC I turn the letter grades On and look at the indivisual ratings

          Poor Shooting Costs the Ospreys
          ”Can’t hit the bright side of a barn."
          November 25, 2008

          Code:
                           1st 2nd   Total
          VMI               40  46     86
          North Florida	   35  43     78
          It was bad enough that the Ospreys were going up against a line-up that started two 7-footers, but the fact that they couldn’t hit any shots at the beginning really messed up their game. North Florida started the game 0-7 before finally hitting a shot. They trailed the entire game. The presence of 7-footers Rubin Rafiq (FR PF – 70 ovr) and Stephen Sargent was a problem for UNF the entire night. Their bench players were all at least 5 inches shorter than the two towers.

          Coach Matthews’ Minute
          “Thank goodness we have Emerson Riley on our team. If it weren’t for him we wouldn’t have scored 20 points tonight. Not one person could hit shots consistently, except for Riley. That man played a hell of a game, not much can be said for the rest of our team.”



          North Florida Ospreys Player Stats
          Emerson Riley – 27 pts, 15 reb, 3 blk, 2 ast, 2 stl, 0 TO
          Brent Wood – 22 pts, 7 reb, 1 ast (7-24 FG, 5-15 3pt)

            Riley and Wood Power UNF Past Winthrop
            ”Ospreys beat the Eagles for 2nd time this year."

            North Florida	   52  44     96
            Just like these two team’s last meeting, the story of the game was Emerson Riley and Brent Wood. The freshman and sophomore led the Ospreys to an early lead, which never went away no matter how many times Winthrop tried to put together a run. Freshman center Ryan Forbes had another solid game, but just like last time he was simply outclassed by Riley.

            Coach Matthews’ Minute
            “These guys probably learned their lesson after getting killed by us twice this year. I doubt they will want to be scheduling any games against us anytime soon. It’s too bad really, I enjoyed putting a beat down on them..”

              Huge 2nd Half Propels Ospreys Past Young Tulane Team
              ”UNF wins despite extremely bad foul trouble."
              December 6, 2008

              Code:
                               1st 2nd   Total
              North Florida     41  55     96
              Tulane	           47  36     83
              This was an ugly game, a really ugly game. Tulane’s offense couldn’t be contained. They were constantly driving to the basket, with back-cuts and simply getting around the UNF defenders. North Florida committed 23 fouls in the game, 14 of which came in the first half alone. The Osprey’s star freshman Emerson Riley only played 11 minutes of the game, but he managed to foul out in that short amount of time. The team’s starting power forward Justin Cecil only played 18 minutes due to foul trouble. Even Tom Hammonds, who is never in foul trouble fouled out in the closing minutes.

              Despite the foul trouble, both Brent Wood and Tom Hammonds provided the firepower in the 2nd half to shoot the Ospreys past Tulane and cruise to an easy victory.

              Coach Matthews’ Minute
              “Foul trouble! I hate it! You know…if they’d just do away with fouls for our games, I bet we could score 120 points pretty easy. Hell….someone get on that. No fouls so that we don’t have close games.”

                  Ospreys Win Despite Blowing Late Lead
                  ”Hold off Taylor, Knights in last 30 seconds."

                  Central Florida	   39  48     87
                  Brent Wood was the hero of the night. After the Ospreys blew their 10 point lead they had with 3 minutes remaining (UCF tied it with 45 seconds left), Wood hit a wide-open three to give the lead back to North Florida. On the next possession Central Florida had a fast break lay-up opportunity, but Brent Wood came out of nowhere to swat it from behind. The Ospreys made their free throws down the stretch and pulled out to a 6 point lead. Jermaine Taylor rushed down the floor and made it a 3 point game with 9.7 seconds remaining. Junior Rivera sank both free throws to seal the deal.

                  Coach Matthews’ Minute
                  “How the hell did we blow a 10 point lead in two and a half minutes? How in the WORLD does that happen? My team needs to learn how to play defense, and you better believe that we’ll be working some long practices next week after this.”

                      Ospreys Obliterate Coastal Carolina in Rematch
                      ”Defense shows up this time."

                      Not really much to say in this one. North Florida dominated from start to finish, and end their non-conference schedule on a positive note. Tom Hammonds put up the 2nd most points in North Florida history with 35, second only to Brent Wood’s performance last season. The Osprey’s bench also got some extended playing time thanks to the big lead, as they didn’t want to have any more injury problems to their star players.

                      North Florida heads into conference play with a big game against a struggling but still dangerous Belmont team.

                        The first four minutes looked like this was going to be similar to the 35 point beating the Ospreys took last year. They were down 12-2 at that point, before going on an 11-0 run in the next 2 minutes to take the lead. North Florida never gave it back to the Bruins. Junior Rivera had a really solid game, putting up a much larger number of points than he had been the last few games. The Ospreys’ defense was solid again, forcing a large amount of turnovers without giving very many up on the other end.

                        North Florida hosts Jacksonville next, who along with Belmont were expected to run through the conference. It should be a solid game.

                        Coach Matthews’ Minute
                        “What a way to start the new year! We are going to dominate the conference this year, you heard it here first. I don’t think any of these other teams have a chance against us in the long run. We won’t lose more than one or two games.”

                          Good win Belmont is tough on this game.
                          Gaming hard since 1988

                          I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.

                            Ospreys Continue Destruction of Conference Opponents

                            The first two conference games for UNF were against the two teams predicted to finish on top of the A-Sun this season. The Ospreys met both challenges by destroying both Belmont and Jacksonville by 20+ points. Coach Matthews’ team took care of the Dolphins even after another slow start. They rocketed past J-Ville and never looked back. Brent Wood was held scoreless for the entire first half, which hasn’t happened once in his career. He responded by putting up 21 points in the 2nd half. While these two wins are impressive, we remind you that UNF started 6-0 in conference last year, before collapsing and going 2-8 for the last 10 games.

                              North Florida’s hot start in conference play continues with another easy win against Kennesaw St. The Ospreys shot 50% from behind the arc (10-20), and wouldn’t allow the Owls to have the lead once in the game. This game was really boring to watch, so I’m not going to bore you with details.

                                Gardner-Webb is the first team to keep North Florida from blowing them out so far in the A-Sun. It wasn’t enough in the end as the Ospreys stepped it up with under two minutes to play to stretch the lead too far for the Bulldogs to be able to catch up. Somehow the Ospreys managed to win this one despite shooting 4/23 from behind the arc and being outrebounded by 13.

                                North Florida continues this road trip by heading to East Tennessee St. next week to play the defending conference champs. Coach Matthews and the Ospreys would love to pay them back for the conference championship game last season.
