GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- With a big lead and even bigger mismatches all over the court, Florida coach Billy Donovan challenged his young and inexperienced team at halftime. Donovan gave his players four goals for the second half: commit no more than 14 turnovers, finish with 30 assists, hold North Carolina Central under 45 points and 40 percent shooting. The Gators met two of the four and came up just short on another in a 105-51 drubbing Wednesday night.
"You get upset as coach when you turn it over too much, you don't defend like you're supposed to, you maybe become a little selfish with guys trying to get their points," Donovan said. "Those are some things I think can filter in. I think they did a good job of taking on the challenge and at least trying to keep a level of focus on those four things."
