Is Placide out still?
They're being more aggressive and more physical. We can win this game, just need to believe it

Wimbley had shown me nothing all year. Cannot see how he gets any playing time at all.

Dudes are playing really hard and with confidence, but, damn, does our team defense just absolutely SUCK! Dribble penetration and baseline open every time.

Weird seeing Florida State in blue.

Feels like two different games when comparing the comments here to listening to the guys on the radio.

We finally break the press. Banks has the ball in the back court with no defenders around him. We’re ready to waste time and get a foul call to go to the free throw line. But no, Frank decides to finally call a timeout at an abysmal moment just to tell Jayden to GTFO? That was beyond stupid.

How about use one of your timeouts to settle the team down, draw up an inbounds play, and take back control.

None of this really got corrected, but what a win. Wow. Pleasant surprise. I was wrong. Frank was right.

A game of runs. We go on one to start game, FS closes 1st half on run.
We open 2nd half in run & FS closes game on run.
Ugly finish but still a big win.
