FSU Post Game

[Owens guy]

I think that Donnie has the potential keep getting better & better by the end of the year. Like carry a team in the tourney good. He could be a tourney star.

Betsy is a great weapon against a zone.

I can’t help think about what this team could be with a good, experienced coach.

 

[23Zone]

Stat of the game? Nate George had 13 that is THIRTEEN assists.

And in less than 30 minutes!

 

[23Zone]

I mean Betsey definitely won this game as much as anyone. He’s pure

He needs more minutes in my opinion. Gives us tremendous length at the 3 spot. More of Betsey and less of Kingz/Kiyan please.

 

[23Zone]

Sadiq needs to learn self-control and not have costly behaviors. He is like a feral cat lol. Almost killed us

 

[richmondcuse03]

It was very strange especially considering the significant point spread movement close to tipoff

Def should be investigated. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if refs are compromised.

 

[DBCooper]

Anyone know what Donnie said to FSU bench?

"William Kyle will dunk on your mom"

 

[cusefan88]

Despite the Clemson loss, the schedule has helped Donnie re-acclimate. GT, Pitt, FSU, BC not exactly a gauntlet. Helps get the team settled again and into a groove before much tougher opponents.

"William Kyle will dunk on your mom"

That was a quote from one of the commentators last night. I don't know if it was Oglesby or the play by play guy

 

[Newhouser]

I agree - sample size is getting too large on Kingz and Kiyan does nothing for me.

Ride Betsey's hot streak for as long as we can and just the threat of having someone who may get hot helps tremendously.

Love Donnie. What I think I like most about him is his competitiveness. I think that will keep him from disappearing in games. His motor is much better this year.

We need to appreciate him. He could have left for more $ - he wanted to be here. I hate looking ahead, but he’s going to be hard to replace. Sadiq gives me Terrance Roberts vibes.

If we can cut down the brain farts and stupid turnovers, we can make a run.

Need to nail Kiyan’s butt to the bench if he can’t play within the team concept. The ball and player movement was rocking last night…and then Kiyan gets out there and we get a couple “look at me! look at me!” iso possessions.

Red chose a very odd time to send a message to Nait last night. The time for that stuff is pre-conference. You can’t jeopardize January wins to make a statement with your PG. It’s these nuanced things that make me crazy.

The guy to send a message to last night was #7.

I really hope Starling can keep up the pace from the past two games. He's been doing a good job.

He has scored 34 points on 14-22 shooting, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 turnovers. 60% from three, and 60% from the line which for him is decent.

I suspect Dad will have a word or two with him.

Well said. Donnie a gem and a great young man. He wants so badly to win too. These are the type of kids that Red does a great job recruiting. Just wish his Xs and Os were better.

Betsey can shoot, but he’s a bit of a one trick pony and he’s very rough defensively. I think Red has played that position fine.

 

[tbonezone]

Miami is not mid

good news we're 3-1 . bad news the 3 teams we've beaten so far in conference play have a combined record of 1-10 . and that 1 win was GT over BC who's 0-4 . so there's that.

 

[whobut03]

I think Betsey can do a lot more. He HAS to play bigger. I've said it before but he plays like he's 6'0" tall. I would strap him to a chair and make him watch tape of CJ Fair.

Actually, that would concern me more.

He can’t really dribble, isn’t really athletic, and suspect defensively. He’s really a specialist.

 

[AlaskaSU]

Kiyan’s +|- had to be at least 10 points to the bad. Black hole. Even the late assist for 3 should have been a pass to Donnie for a dunk

Frustrating player; holds onto the ball, turnover machine

Kiyan’s +|- had to be at least 10 points to the bad. Black hole. Even the late assist for 3 should have been a pass to Donnie for a dunk

Kiyan lacks the mental part of the game; takes long 3's, ball sticks in his hands and he does not value the ball. Unfortunately, he is not ready to get very many minutes.

 

[Chip]

I hate playing against teams that play like FSU. Puts a lot of pressure on your offense.

Especially when they're coming off of a blowout loss at home. They've previously showed they're much better than that performance. Knew they'd come out firing on all cylinders.

I think it's an impressive win, and I thought it was an impressive 9 pm crowd. Kudos to all who went.

 

[Eric15]

I tend to be a little hard on George, but he had 13 assists last night! His best moment was single-handedly working his way out of extremely intense defensive pressure on the game's most critical possession which led to the game-sealing basket.

 

[Niastri]

I was at the dome and looking forward mightily to tagging Niastri in this postgame thread with just “100”.

I blame you for the failure to reach 100. If you had cheered a little louder, they would have made those two extra threes.

I going to go ahead and count this one in my tally sheet.

Terrance had no offense but was a fierce rebounder given that he had broken wheels.

Schedule has def been easy lately. Including the next game, 4 games in a row where the best team in Ken Pom is Pitt at 94.

Definitely doing what they gotta do against the easy part of the schedule though. And it appears to be a different team with Donnie. Getting the next 3 would be real nice because the schedule gets a lot harder after that
