Beating Florida by 20 > Purdue by 1Three L's in a row, and now 1-4 in the ACC.
They might have been hyped too much. Best win is against Purdue, by 1, at home. They lost to Villanova, when Nova looked really bad.
Today should’ve been a fairly easy win...Bizarre start to ACC play for them, but they have 3 pretty easy games in a row it looks like. Should quickly get back to 4-4.
Duke broke yet another team.
This. Dude had Jonathan Issac, and still blew it early round of the tourney. I remember when we were searching for a coach, Hamilton’s name came up a few times, and I almost had a panic attack.Leonard Hamilton, that's what happened. This is nothing new.
Lost to Pitt and BC this week, what's happening to these guys??

Yeah, he overachieves so much that in his 30 years as a head coach (all at P5 programs) he's been to a whopping 9 NCAA tournaments and advanced to the Sweet 16 3 times, with the EE being as far as he has ever been, last season. He has consistently had plenty of 4 and 5 star players over the course of his career too, yet you act like he's playing with NAIA rejects.Hahaha. Pretty ignorant comment. Dude routinely puts teams on the court that outperform their talent level. FSU has 3 consensus top 100 recruits on the team. Three. Duke has more top 10 recruits than FSU has top 100.
Hell, UF has 9 blue chip recruits on their roster and hasn’t beat FSU in 5 years.

Very true.Bill Self lost in the second round with Andrew Wiggins. Coach K lost to Lehigh with like 4 NBA players on his roster. March Madness is a crapshoot.

I think if you are using a 5 game win streak against your rival as proof that Hamilton is performing well, that shows where Hamilton is at.
I am glad FSU fans are okay with him. That might be beating us head to head, but they are a sure fire flameout in the tourney when they get there.
The fact remains that he has been a head coach for 30 years and has a career 56% winning percentage with tenures of 10 years or longer at 2 of those programs. If they are losing out on talent (especially in a talent loaded region) that is completely on him and there's no excuse for it, recruiting is a big part of the job. Especially if you are being out-talented by programs like GT and Wake freakin' Forest. C'mon, man.He has taken over moribound programs. He left the first two right after he turned them around and got them in position to be tourney mainstays. If he stayed at those places longer he gets more tourney bids, but he left for the next Lazarus project. It's not hard to do a little research. Now that he's stayed in one place for a longer time, he's seen more of the fruits of his labor--6 tourney appearances in 10 years at a place that only has like 14 appearances all time.
And sure, he's had some 4 and 5 star players. But the reality is FSU is usually at a talent deficit in the majority of their league games. Duke, UNC, Cuse, UL, NCSU, UVA, and even programs like GT and Wake routinely have better rosters. This year you can include VT in that list.

I've watched FSU play 4 times this year and my opinion of them is no different than it has been every other year since Hamilton has been there. They appear to have great athletasism, length and size, but they always look so poorly coached.
They can't hit threes worth a damn, but they fire away at will as soon as they get open.
IDK, if I had a 7' 5" dude on the inside, I would be getting the ball to him often.
That 7’4 dude wasn’t even a starter on his high school team and has extremely limited offensive skills. You’d be a fool to run your offense through him. We are a run and gun team that grabs a shit ton of our own misses and gets to the free throw line early and often. We would like to be the Rockets. Unfortunately, injuries have taken a real toll this year, especially on our perimeter shooting and ability to get out and run.
Despite that, our cast of 2, 3, and 4 stars (Kabengele didn’t even have another high-major offer) has wins over Purdue, UF, LSU, and UConn and will still be dangerous in March.
Beating Florida by 20 > Purdue by 1
Plus they beat LSU
LSU should have won that game they were leading the whole game and blew a nice lead and let them come back and steal it at the end.
FSU is a pretty decent team they will bounce back and get some quality wins at home.
I get what you are saying, but FSU should have won that Duke game.That 7’4 dude wasn’t even a starter on his high school team and has extremely limited offensive skills.
