Hokies vs FSU Jan 29 at 3 PM

The Hokies play at FSU today at 3 PM. The game is on ABC. FSU is favored by 2.5 points; O/U 129.5. Another line I don't understand. Florida State is 13-6, 6-3 in ACC; we are 10-10, 2-7 in ACC. FSU has four players over 7 feet tall.

They have beaten Miami twice, Duke once. On the other hand they have lost to Syracuse. We just lost to MIami at home.

Their starting line up is interesting. They start Mills, Polite, Evans, Butler and McLeod. Butler and McLeod are 7 footers; but they seem to only play 10-15 min/game. The other two 7 footers also play 6 and 13 min/game. So there will almost always be at least one 7 footer on the floor. It will be interesting to see how CMY schemes against the FSU line up. Will Ojiako and N'Guessan play more because we need the height. Or maybe they play more because we are playing a lot of basketball in a short time and the starters need rest.

FSU is another team that is capable of making a lot of threes if we leave them open. If we try to double the big men, I think FSU does get a lot of good looks from beyond the arc. We could be competitive if everyone contributes; but we have no room for careless TO's. And everyone has to be on his game. If Alleyn takes the night off, CMY has to play Maddox more. And I think we need to see more Pedulla to bring some energy to the offense.

Winning this game might get us back on the bubble; but it's going to be a challenge.

LET'S GO HOKIES!
