Box Score

 

I figured our run would end here, because with the way FSU defends the paint, I thought we'd need a repeat three-point explosion from Scott Wood...and what were the odds of that happening again?  Not bad, apparently.  Florida State must be wondering what it is about them that Wood likes so much.  He's made 13 threes against the Noles and 22 against the rest of the ACC.

 NC State made just 42.9% of its twos against the Noles' tough interior defense, and FSU controlled the glass at both ends.  Florida State couldn't hit anything from outside, though, and they turned the ball over in bunches, which is typical of them but maybe a bit surprising coming as it did against a relatively weak defense.

Javi led the defensive charge with five steals, none bigger than the one that came with about 2 minutes to go and led to a Macrowave slam that pushed the lead to six.  Great effort by Javi on a bum ankle.

i have been negatively commenting about Lowe's offense and his rotation.

Lowe being willing to play 10-11 players per game is paying off in the tournament. not sure how the season would have went had Lowe used an 8 man rotation. i note Hewitt has moved to mostly an 8 man rotation. Udofia is not playing at this time.
others besides myself have been commenting about the low scoring games. the G man and his partner discussed this last night and stated that coaches think that the players are too familiar with each other from AAU ball. i think its coach related. its turning out that Lowe’s coaching of that offense might make him the best for such an offense in the conference. still hope the teams tempo increase next year. go Pack!
earlier in the year i commented that i thought Harrow would have a hard time beating out Havi for starting point guard. i feel more strongly about that at this point.

well Havi threw that game away, literally.

true HuBu. but

state had nothing left for Duke. maybe GT can beat them. after watching our women lose to Duke last week, i don’t know if i could stomach losing to Duke’s men.
while i loved State’s tournament run and will enjoy the men being in the NIT and the women being in the NCAA, the future is brighter for the women despite Lowe’s next class. why? look at the scores of State three tournament games. after State beat BC to end the season Lowe commented on the team buying into his system which included being more patient. if that is State’s future, a slower tempo game than played most of this year-well-please. we had enough of that with Sendek.

agreed

If Miami had won, I’d feel a lot worse right now. Losing another goddamned ACCT final game to Duke would have been unbearable.

I agree

I’m not blaming Javi for the loss, it was a combination of issues, and we looked very tired (Horner’s multiple short 3s when he was wide open). I was just very frustrated with the bone headed play. He must have a multiple personality disorder with the way he can go from BAD to Great to Stupid, etc etc.

AGREED 2x

sbas2, the last thing I could stomach is another Duke loss, I was praying for Miami to win, just so Duke wouldn’t have another notch in their belt (I don’t hate Duke, I’m just tired of them winning the ACC Tourney). I still remember in 2002? When lost the lead in the final game against Duke, it still stings just a lil.
