FSU vs Virginia preview and game thread

PrintSeven games into the conference season and FSU finds itself in a place it’s never been. The Noles are 6-1 for the first time in their ACC history, they’ve won 6 straight ACC games for the 2nd time ever, and now they have a chance to move to 7-1 and own the tiebreaker over the other three ranked teams. But to do it they have to go through the Virginia Cavaliers who not only have the best defense in the ACC, but have the best player.
Senior big man Mike Scott is the ACC Player of the Year to this point. Scott is averaging 17 points and 8.3 boards a game. He’s had six double-doubles, and has been in double figures scoring in every ACC game. He makes 59% of his 2s and 81% of his FTs. At 6’8 he can take most bigs off the dribble, he has a great mid-range game and an unstoppable fade-away. His offensive rating, offensive rebound % and defensive rebound % are all in the top-6 in the conference, and he draws more fouls than everyone besides Terrell Stoglin. In short, Scott is a beast. He sat out most of last season with an injury, so this will be the first time he matches up with Bernard James and Okaro White. How coach Hamilton chooses to defend him will be one of the more interesting storylines of the game.
FSU has won 5-straight in this series. FSU won at home last year 63-56 in a game where Chris Singleton broke his foot.
With 7’ center Assane Sene lost to injury, Scott now anchors the middle of the Cavaliers defense. Tony Bennett runs the system his father perfected – the pack line defense. Joshua Riddell from the Mikan Drill did a great job using video to break that defense down. Check it out. The pack line is built to defend teams like

Great work as always Michael.
Couple of questions that maybe you can answer.
A. From the pics/video of the UVA defense in the Mikan piece it looks like they do a good job of crowding the ball handler but leaving the paint open. Are they vulnerable to the pick and roll and should FSU look to pass into the block when its too congested to drive? I know we’ve had success by getting away from passing down low and driving instead, but it seems like UVA does a good job at taking that away (this scares me).
2. How do you see Dulkys factoring in? It seems that we might need him (or someone else) to have another big day with the way they give up open looks from 3.
D. Are our guards actually good enough to beat this defense off the dribble? I feel like we might be the kind of team on offense that this team thrives on shutting down.
a) their defensive goal is to pressure the ball, and deny anything inside of 15'
2) somebody has to be that guy. FSU will probably take more jumpshots against UVA than against any other team on the schedule
d) that’s the rub, and we’ll find out today. And you’re exactly right that this defense is built to shut down teams like FSU

curious to see the fan base reaction win or lose
not sure anyone is prepared to be 7-1 through the first half. at the same time how quickly will people bail again. its moving day!
Agreed
I sure wasn’t prepared for 7-1. I knew we’d improve as we got into conference play (we always do), but if you asked me in December I would have been thrilled with 5-3 for the first half. Win or lose today, we’ve still exceeded that.

CP7: "No, it’s all one word."
Nothing I read there...
except the lines from Vegas, lead me to believe FSU is going to win this game.
Got to hope James comes up big on both ends of the court. Someone needs to fire him up…maybe question his patriotism?

If this is a slower game
Will we be able to maximize offensive efficiency in order to create a lead to defend. Good test.
Slower game
Should equal fewer turnovers unless we start thinking we can beat them down the court with a turnover and we lose control of the ball as Loucks rifles a pass right past some teammate who is not where Loucks thought he would be.

seems to be as good as advertised… gotta hope that Virginia rotating 6 and us rotating 10 wears them down in the 2nd half
If FSU can stay even with FSU here with its second team in, I’ll consider that a victory. Wear them out, put the starters back in, win.
Can someone please tell Okaro White...
to always be ready for the pass.

Gives "color commentator" a whole new meaning.
Black or grey, which do you prefer?
Well
Since our guards have a hard time figuring out how to properly pass, and others seem to have a hard time catching passes, maybe it is “Toney Douglas time” for Snaer – just take over, drive and shoot – let the big guys try to clean it up and play great defense.
There was no way

Ya'll need to buy XBOXs
I’ve watched all FSU football games and basketball games up here in PA with the ESPN application.

Gator brains are about the size of a walnut. Scientifically proven.
I do the same thing inTX
Got most of the football games this year as well

Yup.
Love having the ESPN3 games in HD on my 47 inch TV.
The only downfall is that you can’t read TN because the comments are 5 minutes ahead of your feed.

If your internet connection is strong enough it'll play the games in HD, same with Netflix.

Haha I was just noticing that
I’m sitting here keeping up with the thread and I already know what happens before it happens on screen.

Does it work from Egypt
ESPN usually works depending on your provider.
I get them on ESPN3 b/c I have FIOS here in Virginia
I like it when it’s on my bigscreen though
that's 4 on Harris
1 more good drive and UVA is done

Interesting
Odom said, “I don’t think the coach of either of these teams is going to go away feeling…”
I was sure he was going to say “good.” Nope.
OH MY SNAER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Scuse me while I whip this out..."
NICE.
Guess he was saving his best for last.

wait, who hit that 3?
CLUTCH

Snaer fouled - no ft's
FSU up 3 with ball – 1:17 to go – 35 on shot clock – Timeout Coach Ham (the should-be-fired one)
another beautiful drive by Snaer

Close this game out Noles!!
James T Paulson
Geez.
Snaer just feeling it.
And Evans with a miracle shot over Sarge. Wow

OH COME ON
yet ANOTHER stupid lob into the paint is a TO

WHY
WHY ARE YOU LOBBING IT IN TO THE POST??????
If all sports fandom is a form of emotional gambling, football is poker and hockey is Russian roulette.
Virginia feels like a team full of cornerbacks.
Let the big men open underneath, then attack it when FSU guards eventally lob it up like a goddamn volleyball.

that rebound should do it
1 made FT will salt it away

Maaaaaan.
What on earth was Ziglinski thinking? had a clear lane, and kicked it out.
Good look, though. We got lucky
Formerly known as Randall W. Spetman.
not sure why UVA did that, never pass on an easy to points
James T Paulson
this D is good enough for us to go all the way
better than last years
James T Paulson
play the Belichik/Randy Moss prevent D at safety
sit back and catch

I was waiting for them to throw away the inbound pass there.

need to make this free throw though
James T Paulson
oh geez, that was way too interesting
but we win!!!
James T Paulson
Free throw shooting was not impressive.

the team
knows how to make it unnecessarily dramatic (or close, for that matter), but I will happily take it.
Yeah, announcer said "It's good if it goes!" and I was thinking "There's no way he got that off."

16-6 now? sure to move up in the rankings
again I thought our D last year was really good, I think it is even better this year
James T Paulson
wow
Lucky to get away with that one, given the terrible FT shooting.

True - I'm not saying the game was never in doubt
But we were head most of the game.- Going 9-16 from the line did NOT help
and if Snaer makes both FT, or Dulkys hits his 2nd and Snaer gets the front end
Vegas was on point. scary how good they both are at picking these games

We Win...nuff said
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
I'm gonna be honest
If someone had given me 3-1 for the second quarter after the 3-1 start, I would have taken it.
of course. without hesitation.
8 games left, and even a 4-4 finish makes us an absolute lock for the Dance.
'Scuse me while I whip this out..."
We better not put up a goose against BC on Wed
esp since I’ll be there and I dont want to go to jail for killing a “SuperFan”
They should
I should get free reign over there, but thats just my opinion
You should really make a sign acknowledging TN
Something like “ROGNER4LIF”

I know! Dare to believe?
A regular season title would be incredible. I can’t even imagine the effect it would have on recruiting and the fan base.
I like this game...
because it shows we can win even Snaer/our guards are having a down game
and his crap lob with :38 seconds left
by Michael Rogner on Feb 4, 2012 4:24 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, that pass was a stinker.
But what JB said is right on. This team just seems find a way.
