Duke @ FSU - Who Ya Got?

FS has size, athleticism, depth, both inside/outside game and they are (as Roy might say) "aggressive" on both ends of the floor at times .. looks like they rebound well and play physical .. weakness may be on the defensive side. May be that a good spread offense with cutters in the passing lanes along with good outside jump shooting would cause them some problems cause they seemed to play defense with their hands/arms/body more than with their feet but I didn't see a lot of the second half. Good win for the 'Noles .. defended their court against a top 10 (ahem ahem) team.
 
You guys were right on this one. Duke has a tendency to scrape out tough games like this but not tonight. That FSU team is scary good. I hope Roy has our boys ready to play when we go up against them.
 
Allen shoving a FSU assistant, once again showing himself to be a punk.

A look at d00k's frontline, even without Jefferson:

Giles. 5* Top 10
Tatum. 5* Top 10
Bolden. 5* Top 20
Jeter. 5* Top 20
DeLaurier. 4* Top 50
Vrankovic 3*
Obi 3*

Now throw in this backcourt:

Allen. 5* Top 25
Kennard. 4* Top 40
Jones. 4* Top 40
Jackson. 5* Top 25

How do you lose with such a wealth of talent and good experience? There can't be more than one or two teams that can even begin to match that level of talent, perhaps UK.

And you even forgot Bolden there.

Fun game! No one in the thread predicted the gap would be as large as it was! Unless you count the 99-0 prediction that is ;)

It was televised here on Fox 50 (ACC over flow channel or something like that)

FSU didn't even play its best IMO. I do see that their bigs seem willing to be lured into fouls but they have a ton of them. This will be an exciting game!
 
I think y'all are harsh to call Leonard Hamilton the worst coach in the ACC. A coach of a non-Duke, non-UNC team who wins an ACCT cannot qualify as the worst coach in the conference, IMO.

Of course, "worst coach in the ACC" probably means you're still one of the 50 best coaches in the nation.
 
The Heels get Florida State at home. Gotta win the home games. First, beat Wake Forest tonight.

Still trying to figure out how the Heels lost to GA Tech, which is probably the worst team in the ACC in 20 years.
 
If Vader had been there to summon the dark side there would have been no way dook loses.
