Slow sports day so i thought I would give you guys something to read.
FSU has moved up a spot to No. 9 in both the AP and Coaches Polls. Turning to KenPom, FSU is down a spot from this time last week, dipping from 13th to 14th, overall. Offensively, the Seminoles dropped to 28th from 27th a week ago, while improving defensively from 19th to 17th. But the ’Noles rose in the NET rankings from last week, when they were 21st. They’re now 15th.
We win an ugly one 83-79 in OT. In the first half we had about twice the fouls they did. Thank the good Lord they only made half their free throws. And their little 5 foot 6 guy could not miss today. Even in OT he was hitting crazy ass shots to keep it tight right til the end.
Once again MJ picks up two quick fouls and sets 18 minutes in the 1st half. He went off after halftime. Would not have won it without his contribution.
Florida State is up to No. 5 in the AP Poll, the school’s highest ranking since December of 1972. You’ll recall that was the year that the Seminoles came closest to winning the national title, losing to UCLA in the championship game in LA earlier.
In the Coaches Poll, voters heavily rewarded Louisville for its win at Duke, jumping the Cards over the ’Noles for the No. 5 spot, while FSU comes in at No. 6. Remember, Florida State smoked UL in Louisville in the teams’ only meeting this year.
