@GE Nole What am I looking for tonight in their first game?
Looking forward to the rematch next week.
Sorry, just seeing this.
Tonight was just a shake the rust off kind of game. We hadn’t played at all and it showed at times. But the length and athleticism on the team is pretty scary.
We are gonna have to shoot better, but giving Calhoun more minutes will help solve that. He’s the real deal, folks.
Really looking forward to next week. Just wish FSU could get one more game in before hand.
Ya'll gonna have fans?Sorry, just seeing this.

No worry---Just play a zone.. 🤣Wish our Gardner Webb game hadn’t been cancelled. Only 1 game played going into IU.

Everybody shoots lights out on 3’s vs FSU. IU will hit 40+%. Look like Steph Curry lol.
When we lose this is usually a factor, but for the first 24 minutes last night UNF was abysmal. Then they hit 8/9 and they ended up 11/27. They got hot after we relaxed and were up by 20Last year opponents shot 31.7% from 3 against FSU. 95th in the country (out of 353 teams) and 6th in the ACC.

What I really meant is those are the only types of games we seem to lose, one in which the other team is hit from 3. Otherwise, we usually find a way to win. There have been several games that I can recall where the opponent shot well from 3 and we still won due to turnoversThat’s fair but you could say that about most teams. When a major opponent goes off from 3, decent shot you lose.
Duke’s first game of the season was supposed to be Gardner-Webb but the game was postponed too. I saw an article earlier today that said it had been rescheduled for December 19th. This season has been tough on a lot of teams with games being postponed or cancelled because of Covid-19, not to mention teams not getting to play their usual preseason exhibition games to help work out the kinks. Michigan State was supposed to be our third game of the season but ended up being our second game of the season after the Gardner–Webb game was postponed and our game against Elon that was scheduled for Sunday has also been postponed.Wish our Gardner Webb game hadn’t been cancelled.

I am surprised by that.
Florida St should be able to force shooters to put the ball on the floor
If you look at the teams that have played for a NC recently
They all made sure they controlled the 3 point line
Michigan
Villanova
Virginia
Texas Tech.
Close out on the shooters and force them to put the ball on the floor. Use your interior length to create blocks or steals
Villanova...
They just had unbelievable ball movement. Made it difficult for teams to do that because they would create numbers
FSU had some trouble with quick guards last season. Miami and I think NCST particularly. They won the games but was frustrating watching the seemingly easy penetration
Sometimes it’s the trade off of playing guys so big (less quickness). But other times it’s by design.
We’d prefer a guy like Lykes to be funneled into the teeth of the D where we can alter a shot or deflect a kick out. It looks like a “blow by” or easy penetration, but reality it’s just us setting the bear trap.
When our help D stays in their appropriate place and rotates on time, the penetration is cut off and the ball is often stolen or thrown away. When the help D is late or over aggressive, it can result in open looks.
It’s a bit early but I think FSU may be the best team in the ACC. A lot will depend on Barnes being as good as he projects to be but also, can we stay healthy. Based in what I’ve seen from the other contenders, I see way more flaws for them than what we currently have, but by the time we are into late January the complexion of every team could be very different
Saw quite a bit of both last year. Be nice to have a quick guard to bring in for change of pace or matchups.
Yep will take this over the thumping at IU for sure. Great game but the refs just took control at the end and looked inept.
I still think FSU will be the class if the ACC this year, despite the usual trio getting the accolades. If we can get by Florida on Saturday we should be able to navigate the schedule between now and Duke and see what happens from there
Sure but we are still working some kinks out and anything can happen in rivalry games. I do expect to winIf you can get by Florida??
I think the last time we beat FSU was during the Reagan administration.

Great game @GE Nole
I really felt like FSU was lucky to win this one. I thought Indiana looked solid on D.
FSU really needs to put in work at the FT line. Last few seasons I've noticed this was an area of strength. Hopefully they get it together.
Florida has actually looked really good a few games in.
I think it was conditioning that impacted their shooting, should be fineI really felt like FSU was lucky to win this one. I thought Indiana looked solid on D.

Lol. Every year is a new year tho. How much longer do you give White? And...how do you fire a guy who gets you in the tourney every year?
