PrintFlorida St. Seminoles at Duke Blue Devils, Mar 3, 2009 8:00 PM EST
Get that out of here...
Tonight we head to Cameron Indoor.
Time to return the favor and beat Duke on their home court.
Spoil Duke's attempt at an ACC Championship.
Expect Greatness. No Let Downs.
Ryan Reid on FSU's tournament chances: "Right now, everybody's saying, 'Oh, we're in, we're in,' But for us, we almost don't talk about it. We've got to take every game personally… We're still fighting." Speaking of:
Before we get into the thick of it, here is a really nice piece on Toney from Seminoles.com Obviously there are a lot of opinions on where we stand with the selection committee. Check out MattD's excellent discussion on where we might end up in the ACC tournament. Here are a couple of other opinions about the NCAA tournament: Lunardi, one of the best Bracketology sites and the composite list from the BracketProject. Tonight we travel to Cameron Indoor to take on the Duke Blue Devils and the Cameron Crazies and try to potentially spoil their run at an ACC Championship and add yet another line to our tournament resume. Duke was named team of the week by ESPN.com. Note that there is some discussion about FSU at the bottom of that article. When Duke visited the Tucker Center in January, we saw two teams struggling to find any offense in the first half, scoring 33 points total. We held Duke to 19 points. The teams went on to score a combined 91 points in the second half. FSU scored a total of 7 points between 11:03 left in the first half to 15:40 left in the second half, for a whopping .45 points per minute or game play. Despite being flat for almost 15 minutes of play, the Noles came storming back in the second half only to lose 66-58. Gerald Henderson had a then career high with 25 points. Their next highest scorer was Kyle Singler with 15. Duke shot a respectible 42.9% against us, while we struggled to finish with a 31% FG%. Douglas had 18, Kitchen 16 and Uche 10. Reid, Gibson, Loucks and Dulkys did not score. Alabi only had 4 and Demercy had two. We shot a delightful 17.6% from the three point line. Here is how we did in that game: In my Clemson preview, I talked about the Four Factors and their correlation to Clemson's victories and losses. Here is how Duke has done this year with the Four Factors, these are the season averages of the four: In their 5 losses (Boston College, UNC, Clemson, Wake and Michigan), Duke has had a significantly lower shooting percentage than their opponent. There have been other games in which Duke has shot a lower eFG% than there opponent and won. But the discrepancies in their losses is much more apparent. In fact, the average difference is roughly 8.46%.The most significant correlation to Duke's wins and losses is their opponents ability to limit Duke's eFG%. It has a 0.87 correlation coefficient Remember, the closer to 1 you are the, more stronger the relationship. If you challenge Duke's shots, take them out of their comfort zone, you have the best chance of winning. If Duke has a good shooting night, the correlation is 0.82, demonstrating the importance of their shooting on their success. The next most significant correlation is rebounding, specifically Duke's ability to limit their opponent's offensive rebounds. Moral of the story, don't let Duke get good looks at the basket and take care of your offensive rebounds. Closely behind the rebounds is TO%: If Duke turns the ball over, you have a pretty good chance of winning. This graph demonstrates the correlation between Duke's losses and eFG%: Compared to UNC, Duke plays a much slower tempo offense and currently scores about 1.15 pts per possession. They play outstanding D and force almost 25 to's per game. They shoot extremely well from floor and they take care of the offensive boards. They have 7 players with offensive ratings over 110, which is excellent. When they have the ball, they score. However, like the Noles they turn the ball over a lot for an elite team. Unlike the Noles, they actually score on a regular basis. Duke is also a relatively tall team, ranking 36th overall for avg minutes weighted height, and 44th for effective height. You're still saying, "you're crazy, UNC still has better numbers." Having watched both teams this year, I think Duke's offensive systems and energy on defense is going to put them at the top. Again, I'm a total softy on this and could easily be convinced that UNC should be at the top. UNC scores by running you out of your defense and making quick baskets based on hustle and opportunity. Yes, they can play offense in the half court as well. But I feel that Duke's offense wears defenses down and will be able to score regularly against the ACC defenses. They will be able to break down man-to-man and zone schemes. Since I wrote that, Duke has improved their turnovers troubles and plays balanced basketball, ranking 6th and 8th on offense and defense respectively. Here are Duke's numbers:
Offense Defense
Raw Efficiency : 111.9 ( 20) 92.1 ( 15)
Adj Efficiency : 117.1 ( 6) 87.6 ( 8)
Effective FG% : 51.0 (101) 46.8 ( 74)
Turnover Pct. : 17.9 ( 32) 24.2 ( 19)
Off. Rebound% : 38.9 ( 22) 32.1 (146)
Free Throw Rate: 40.2 ( 73) 30.9 ( 51)
3-Point FG% : 33.7 (185) 32.6 ( 80)
2-Point FG% : 51.2 ( 63) 46.0 ( 95)
Free Throw Pct.: 72.5 ( 57) 68.7 (170)
Block Pct. : 9.8 (244) 9.7 (114)
Steal Pct. : 8.4 ( 47) 12.5 ( 22)
3PA/FGA : 33.7 (151) 25.3 ( 4)
A/FGM : 50.3 (262) 43.8 ( 8)
Lots and lots of green. They shoot the ball consistently well from inside the 3 point line. They get to the line. They protect the basketball and they frustrate you on defense. The major blemishes on the the defensive side of the ball are their ability to limit opponents OReb and shot blocking. Their major sore thumb is the number of times they get blocked. But, Duke likes to attack the basket and is therefore more likely to get blocked. Duke's majore defensive liability is their ability to stop their opponents in the paint. Duke's defends the 3 point shot well and forces their opponents into bad shots. But their opponents scores almost 60% of their points inside the arc. Zoubek, despite being a big body, is not an oustanding center.
For comparison sake, here are our numbers:
Offense Defense
Raw Efficiency : 100.0 (201) 93.4 ( 25)
Adj Efficiency : 104.0 (128) 88.3 ( 11)
Effective FG% : 48.4 (195) 44.6 ( 21)
Turnover Pct. : 22.7 (289) 23.4 ( 37)
Off. Rebound% : 35.5 ( 81) 35.8 (280)
Free Throw Rate: 41.2 ( 52) 34.8 (140)
3-Point FG% : 33.6 (191) 32.4 ( 67)
2-Point FG% : 47.4 (197) 42.4 ( 18)
Free Throw Pct.: 72.4 ( 62) 68.1 (133)
Block Pct. : 8.1 (123) 16.2 ( 6)
Steal Pct. : 10.0 (187) 12.7 ( 17)
3PA/FGA : 33.8 (145) 35.7 (267)
A/FGM : 53.2 (196) 46.9 ( 22)
Fortunately for us, Duke's ability to win doesn't correlate strongly with their offensive rebounding, which is something we have struggled with all year (The lone red number in the defensive column). Our strongest correlation to winning is our shooting percentage, by a long shot. When we shoot well and our opponent's defense doesn't shut down our shooting (two different stats), we win. If we turn the ball over and/or their deffense forces a lot turnovers, we loose. The strongest correlation however, is our opponents defensive eFG%.
Our team is different from the one that Duke beat in January. Our offense is crisper; we have shown purpose on offense and our defense continues to be outstanding. Out big men are getting the job down low. This game will come down to who shoots the ball better. Henderson had a career game last time; I doubt that we'll let him do that again. Can we prevent their big three (Henderson, Paulus and Scheyer) from having big nights? Yes.
Here are the likely starting line ups:
PROBABLE STARTERS FOR FLORIDA STATE
F #31 Chris Singleton (7.9 ppg, 5.2 rpg; 6 pts and 3 rebs vs. Duke, Jan. 10, 2009)
F #41 Uche Echefu (8.6 ppg, 5.1 rpg; 6 pts and 7 rebs vs. Duke, Jan. 16, 2008)
C #32 Solomon Alabi (8.1 ppg, 2.1 bpg; 4 pts and 9 rebs vs. Duke, Jan. 10, 2009)
G #22 Derwin Kitchen (8.4 ppg, 2.3 apg; 16 pts and 5 stls vs. Duke, Jan. 10, 2009)
G #23 Toney Douglas (20.6 ppg, 2.0 spg; 18 pts and 2 stls vs. Duke, Jan. 10, 2009)
PROBABLE STARTERS FOR DUKE
F #12 Kyle Singler (16.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg; 15 pts and 5 rebs vs. Florida State, Jan. 10, 2009)
F #42 Lance Thomas (5.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg; 1 pt and 3 rebs vs. Florida State, Jan. 10, 2009)
G #15 Gerald Henderson (16.6 ppg, 4.8 rpg; 25 pts and 5 rebs vs. Florida State, Jan. 10, 2009)
G #20 Elliot Williams (3.8 ppg, 0.5 apg; 1 pts and 0 rebs vs. Florida State, Jan. 10, 2009)
G #30 Jon Scheyer (13.9 ppg, 2.8 apg; 21 pts and 2 stls vs. Florida State, Jan. 16, 2008)
Like the last game, it will be an ugly first half with each team trying to figure out how to break the other's pressure defense. Fortunately, we are doing better against the press. Look for another relatively low scoring defensive battle. I would love for us to come out with a win. It is certainly possible. We are going to make the tournament. A win only helps our seed. We have nothing to lose. We should go into Cameron Indoor with confidence and get after Duke and play physical frustrating defense. Get Singler into foul trouble. Get Paulus into foul trouble. Frustrate this team and they get derailed easily. My fear is that Duke is going to get all of the calls at home and once again we will see the huge FT discrepancy we saw last time. (Highly entertaining videos on each of those links)
Take it to 'em Toney!
And, Solomon, play the game of your life.
Uche...you know what to do...take care of business:
Look for the game on www.atdhe.net or justin.tv. The game will be televised on Raycom Sports. Sirius XM users go to Channel 190.
Go Noles!

I want to beat these guys so badly.
They just flat out cheat. I know the ACC hates the ’Noles because we are one of the four private schools in conference (NCST, UNC, Maryland).
Maybe Chris Singleton can offer Mr. Paulus a nice platter of balls.
How will Nolan Smith’s absence affect Duke?
I’ll say 69-63, DUKE, but I hope I am wrong.

You mean 4 Public schools?
Either way there are 4 private schools in the ACC and we’re not one of them. Wake, Miami, BC, and Duke. All of the other 8 are Public.
Anyway, I hope we beat Duke tonight and spoil their ACC Championship and have at least 10 wins in the ACC.
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
"But How will I know limits from lies, if I never try."
Lets hope for an off night behind the arc for the Dukies...
If they are not hitting 3’s, they are very beatable. Oh, and also D-up Henderson.
we get it in HD on ch 721 up here in DC, but if its not available for you
http://www.justin.tv/insgadget will have the live stream
go noles
dont know what else to say. I hope we win. I will know if we did if at 1030pm I dont have 20 missed calls from Duram.
Why is the sky blue? Because, God Loves the Infantry
Maybe all the recent pub over the horrible Duke travels
will result in a tightly-called game on Duke tonight. Well, probably not …
Thanks again Cubbie
I love all the in depth analysis. I would like to add one observation that I made. If we only shoot 17% from 3 again we will not win. I would like to make the following suggestion for Coach Ham to make to the players.
1) If in doubt of the following stipulations, do not shoot a 3-pointer.
2) If your last name is Dulkys and you have no one within an 8-foot perimeter of you, then you may attempt a 3-pointer.
3) If your initials are TD and it is the second half, then you may attempt a 3-pointer.
4) If your number is 22, and you are falling out of bounds, after being run over by an opposing player, you may attempt a 3-pointer.
5) If none of the above circumstances apply to you, then under no conditions may you attempt a 3-pointer, especially if you are a former McDonald’s HS All-American who wears a headband.
The other thing I remember from the last meeting was Henderson dominating us. He was hitting shots from all over. I don’t know what his final stats were, but we need to stop him from having another big game against us as noted above.

I hope Alabi had just blocked the shot in the top picture...
When you scroll over picture the caption says he is battling for a rebound. I don’t like his chances in that case, and it would be an appropriate representation of our rebounding. I like TC’s remark better.
Yeah, I wasn't thrilled by the caption either...but it really looks like Solomon swatted the ball out of his hands.
Definitely poor rebounding technique…but a great pic of Solomon none the less.
We have to make sure Scheyer doesn't get an open look from behind the arc
And we have to keep Henderson from driving the ball to the baseline
Since I didn't see the game listed ...
on www.atdhe.net or justin.tv, here’s another possible option: http://channelsurfing.net/. I do see the game is listed there for this evening.

Duke might really be in trouble.
Nolan Smith is out with Concussion
Thomas left the game and didn’t return
Zoubek has 3 fouls
McClure has 3 fouls
Singler has 2 fouls
Plumlee has 2 fouls
Could our depth really pay off here?
We just put up 40 on Duke on the first half.
What a crazy crazy world. I hope we’re not too spent for the 2nd half.
Any correlation to good defenses and the amount of 3’s shot against them? I would bet that the better defenses give up a lot of 3-ball looks.

Strangely...
The top 5 all see far fewer 3pt shots than average.
FSU sees a TON.
WOW. The top 10… is all in the bottom 3rd as far as % of shots faced that are 3pt shots
Gee, Virginia is really stinking it up huh.

I considered it being Gatorade but I figured it was something else...
considering the flurry of “G is this and that” commercials I dunno it just seemed like it was something else. That’s dumb. :/
I don't get it though
I saw a few commercials where the “knights” are in “the quest for G” (it’s a quite hilarious Monty Python reference) but they’re drinking gatorade while looking for G…. so what gives?
Yeah. They aired the What is G campaign during the Sugar Bowl to get interest in it
Then finally put a Gatorade bottle at the end of the commercial during the Super Bowl
No Professor, your wrong! The gators all grumpy because he has all those teeth and no toothbrush

Hamiltont akes the timeout as Duke has cut the lead to 4.

That was the main coach K topic during halftime, exact wordage used too
"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but through me"
feed link right? this is free? I no im paranoid but I have reasons.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but through me"
WHy do we consistently fall for that in our zone and Duke shoots a three... luckily he missed
"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but through me"
For crying out loud, that three shooter for Duke is a maniac.
"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but through me"
Paulus is not a maniac, he is a little b^%&$

Step up, Chris.
Singleton is looking like a freshman tonight. Should’ve taken that last feed straight to the rack without hesitation.
Judging from this thread...
Like a freakin rollercoaster!
I can’t decide by reading if everyone is excited or pissed off

I'm making a wish....
That Soloman comes back in and creates havoc. Their frontcourt could be in big trouble if he draws some whistles.
If Duke is going to get their three shots the only way we can win is shooting high % shots and getting 75+% of the rebounds from the threes
"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but through me"
We just got lucky. cannot let Duke keep grabbing these offensive boards.
SINGLETON fouled hard by Singler! FT’s coming.

If I was invisible for a day I would go to the Duke campus and punch Greg Paulus many times.
Back to the game.
Kill a fly with an axe - Mickey Andrews, his 1998 playbook
Control the anger Alabi
"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but through me"
Of course he thinks thats a good tech...
glad the announcers arent bias. I totally agree that you shouldnt come down on someone who keeps their arm in your face
He hit every branch on the ugly tree, that's for sure.

Alabis thinking, "after this game I'm going to eat those little white boys"

I hate Duke so much, you all have no idea.
I have been watching for only 4 minutes, but my blood is beginning to boil already.
