MBB Game 5 @FSU, Nov. 19 (Tue) 7 PM

[Cards]

We need to hit some threes have missed open looks so far. Also need to keep Cruz on the floor.

We get a few threes. Hangin in there - down 3

[Cards]

Guys just look nervous and are playing like it. Lots of turnovers, no flow on offense. Down 9

[dutchPride86]

Just no answers for their length on the offensive end. FSU isn't some elite team here, just feels like a terrible matchup for us right now

[triplec2195]

Down 9 now we can’t get into a rhythm. Giving them good open look threes.

[cactus]

They're clearly outmatched athletically but going to get blown out either missing all these open 3s or turning over the ball every possession

[triplec2195]

Farmer in this game and has missed at least two wide open threes.

He had to have been hurt right?

[Cards]

HU shooting 34% overall and 14% from 3. Really poor. Combine that with 9 TOs and we just look like a D2 team.

[dutchPride86]

Davis, Sanders and Gadsden combined 1-11 with 5 fouls and 4 turnovers... that obviously isn't gonna cut it.

Fsu 3 right before the half there was a killer, Araguren had singlehandedly gotten them back in it.

All that being said, still feel like Hofstra losing this game right now more than FSU winning this game if that makes sense.

If FSU plays at same level in 2nd half still a winnable game if Hofstra can clean up turnovers and make a couple 3s

[Cards]

Agree DutchPride. FSU is not a great team. What they have shown so far indicates that they are beatable.

Farmer in this game and has missed at least two wide open threes.

The statistics say he attempted one. Florida State used eleven players. The only one who did not attempt a field goal contributed 1 rebound and 2 assists. Five players played a majority of the half, and three of them were subs. We shot threes 2-14. We have the game's leader in points (Aranguren with 10), rebounds (Graham with 6), and assists (Sanders with 4). It must be rare for a team to have the game's leader in all three of those at halftime with only 23 points.

Other CAA teams are doing better at halftime. Hampton leads 40-36 at Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC), and their lead has gotten smaller. UMBC was favored by 6.5. Drexel led by 16 and leads 33-21 at Fairfield. Fairfield's Jamie Bergens had three steals against his former team. Fairfield was favored by 0.5. UNCW is about to start at Kansas.

[Cards]

good start to second half. attacking the basket and kicking it if not there. Down 2 39-37

Forget what I just said - FSU goes on 10-0 run. More turnovers on our side!!!!!

[dutchPride86]

Getting some terrible minutes from the bench right now, basically playing 2 on 5

Graham arguably our best player tonight, sitting on the bench for the entire critical stretch of 2nd half now with only 1 foul. Jean sitting way too long too

[Cards]

4 min to go - 17 TOs

[Cards]

We give up 47 pts in the second half and finish game with 20 TOs!

[dutchPride86]

Well the 15 seconds of fame with national media attention was nice, but so much for that. Will lose to Houston by 40 if they play like that again.

The turnovers have been ghastly all year, but they were finding ways to win so could look past it. Now it's a glaring red flag

Can't be upset or surprised that they lost, FSU is an acc team with elite length after all. But very disappointed with how poorly they played

[triplec2195]

Need to work on breaking the press rather then having the press break us. A lot of teams will try to implement this against us I believe. It seems like after a nice play by Sunday he'll make two gaffes! IDK if FSU pressed Florida but after watching the beginning of that game they weren't pressing. Just saying.

Agree triplec, they pressed us all game and we did not respond well....felt we played them tough otherwise. I think we even ourtrebounded them, at least in the first half.

Another encouraging sign was us going to the basket, obviously against a much taller oppoent.

Like this team's grit and willingness to mix it up inside...theink we're going to be OK AFTER HOUSTON!
