How 'bout them Noles?

too larry said:

Noles lose by 5. No help from the refs down the stretch. 2 point game less than a minute to go, Trent gets elbowed in the face. Foul called on him.

I saw another angle of this later. Duke player missed with the elbow and Trent got raked across the eye by a teammate. Still looked like Hurt got away with a foul on the rebound. But we shot 60% on free throws. That is what cost us the game.

Some chitter chatter on twitter about the game.

Post Duke Pod



Next game is Saturday 11 Central at the Tuck.

Orange game thread, etc.

Another crazy game. We are behind late. Devin is in Ham's doghouse and never sees the court. All the pros had the weekend off due to the all star game, and a ton of them were in town. Good to see everyone behind the bench. Does make me wonder if all those guys in town had something to do with Devin not playing. Maybe overslept and missed a meeting. With Ham, we will never know.

Ham now top five all time ACC.

Monday rankings are out. We stay in 8th in both poles. Turning to KenPom, the Seminoles are down to No. 22, overall, after coming in at 19th a week ago. The offense fell from 38th to 40th, while the defense rose from 19th to 18th. The NCAA’s NET rankings have Florida State at No. 13, right where it was a week ago.

Hot off the presses, the pod is so new I haven't listened to it yet.

We play Pitt at the Tuck tomorrow at 7:00 central. Game is on ACCN. Revenge my be in the air.

Pitt preview, game thread, line, etc.etc. Ken Pomeroy FSU 85%. Vegas line FSU -10.5

Sporting a 20-game home winning streak, the No. 8 Florida State Seminoles men’s basketball team put on a dominant display in the second half to defeat the visitors from Pittsburgh 82-67. With the win, FSU improves to 22-4 and moves into a tie with Louisville for second in the ACC at 12-3.

Noles travel to Raleigh to take on the Wolf Pack on Saturday at 3:00 central. Game will be broadcast on ACCN. The Pack are coming off a 22 point beat down of Duke, so maybe they will still be drunk when we get to town. Duke's loss has us tied at a half game back from UL for 1st place. We live in interesting times.

Going back in time. . . . Ken Pomeroy FSU 53%. Vegas line FSU -1.5

Another come from behind win. I was out of pocket and heard on the radio that we had won before I got to see the game. So no close game stress, but not as much joy either.

Haven't been able to find Ham's post game presser, but here is the Wolfpack coach. (whining about fouls)
