How 'bout them Noles?

After a sloppy first half, we got in the groove in the 2nd and pulled away. SEMO lead by 11 in the 1st. Noles lead by 21 in the 2nd, and won by 17. Like I said, I hate these RUTS games.

Another semi blowout. Other than the slow start and terrible 3 shooting, the boys did real good.

Another game. That is thrice this week. It's on the Fox Sports regional channels.

A nine day break after this.

We are playing in the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise Florida.

So does this mean we made a bowl game after all?

The Noles got back in the top ten in the latest polls.

And have stopped the slide in bracketology projections. The last two weeks we had gone down despite winning. I know this is way too early to mean anything, but what else do we have to do? The next game is on Tuesday.

Also looks like we are in the running for one of the top recruits of '19. Heady days in Tally.

A tough ass game yesterday. We were up 16-18 points when I sat down to eat. Came back to check in, and it was a 2 point game. Short little fuckers, but they got to the basket a ton in the first half. then hit 3's in the 2nd. The short lineup to get some minutes, and we pulled away at the end.

More bracketology click bait. At least we are heading in the right direction again.

The Noles open ACC play tomorrow against UVA. Those guys are pretty good.

Listen to Coach Ham's pre-game comments on the radio. Half hour before the game.

The bad news is we got our ass handed to us. The good news is we play Miami on Wednesday.

Like someone said in the game thread, they really shouldn't let refs bet on games. This was the worst called game I have seen in a while. And coming from Florida, playing on Tobacco Road, the Noles are used to bad calls, but this was crazy bad. In the first half the fouls were 6 for Miami 12 for FSU. {and they are real bad at getting calls and we are real good at it} We could not go straight up and get a rebound without getting a foul called. The Canes only have 7 scholarship players, and we were the ones in foul trouble. We won, but didn't cover the spread. So that was a win/win, at least for anyone betting in that direction. If we had hit shots it would have been a blowout even with the refs. But we were cold from long range again.

After the game we learned our best players were all playing with nagging injuries. Hope they heal fast.

Duke is coming to the Tuck on Saturday. Number one in the nation and all that. They are really good. We will have to hit more shots if we don't want to get blown out.

Love the smile and the head shake when asked about the refs. Mann is the man. Even when he isn't scoring, he brings a lot to the team.

Noles drop one spot in this week's bracketology, down to a 4 seed. Would face 13 seed Murray State Racers in a round one game at Jacksonville. For the sake of mine and Smidge's friendship, I hope this doesn't play out.

We play Duke at 2:00 Eastern on ESPN. {free to watch online if you have ESPN in your cable or dish package} (I still don't have cable back at work, over 3 months since the hurricane)

Listen to Coach Ham's pregame comments half hour before that. {or listen to Gene call the whole game if you can't stand ESPN announcers}
