A Short Explanation of Two Ugly Losses

Florida State's defense is pretty good. Against our less than average offense, that defense stifled us all night. We were are to come back and almost tie the game at the end.  Every time we threatened, Florida State had an answer. Our inability to box out and rebound definitely hurt us in this game.  We need to put ourselves in a better position to win these games; in short, we are not helping ourselves.  

Boston College is not a good basketball team. In fact, they are pretty bad.  I felt good about this game until Erick Green was not going to play.  Our team which was already not playing well took a major hit to potential success without Green.  If we hadn't already hurt ourselves by starting 0-2 in the ACC, starting 0-3 would be a backbreaker.  We let Boston College bully us around (minus the 2 point loss, it wasn't nearly as close as that). We can't let the little guys of the ACC do that to us.  Fortunately, this is a very young team and they can only get better.  Erick Green needs to play against UNC so we don't get embarrassed at home. We have to prove that we do care about basketball.

Next game: VT vs. UNC at 9 pm on ESPN. Show up and be loud. Cassell needs to be rocking.
