FSU Postgame

[IthacaMatt]

You realize he won the game

Yes, he did, but it doesn't mean Tuttle is wrong.
JJ is too inefficient, and does not make good enough decisions. We are very close to a 20 loss season for a reason. He did play in 25 of our 32 games so far.

Man wish he would've flushed that Left Jam.

Me. I don’t. Lol 23 shots. No defense. 5 missed layups. Shooting less than 20 percent from 3 in last 7 games. He lost the team 3 other games recently. I can keep going lol

I don't dislike JJ, but I dislike his game. Today was nice seeing 2 left handed layup attempts. But, his shot needs a complete 100% overhaul. I don't think he can do it. He's fast, he's athletic, but he doesn't play consistent winning basketball

Slap that bracket !!

Cuffe was robbed! Every single foul call. The last one, he was literally elbowed to the ground. He deserved that bracket.

 

[PoppyHart]

Where are all the posters that don't want JJ on the team next year?

Right here. Hero Ball is not a winning formula.

I wish he made a layup instead of missing a dunk. It would have clinched the game.

The Cuffe/Watkins fouls were terrible.

He was playing great defense using his feet to get in front of the offensive player, who would push off time and again. A lot of BS calls that went the wrong way.

It's a useful tool to close out a game, but it can't be your only tool in the box.

Ha ha, this is so good - you do know that we won today, right? You do know that, right?

 

[grepal]

Only 10 more in a row to win it all.

11 we will be in the play in game.

 

[IthacaMatt]

How did we win with 6 assists?!

Lots of offensive rebounds, and JJ's drives in the 2nd half.

He and Taylor both. Watkins on FSU has very little skill, other than bullying his way into fouls. The refs fall for his crap.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Ha ha, this is so good - you do know that we won today, right? You do know that, right?

You do know we have a losing record and will finish the season with 19 losses, right? Most losses in 60 years, right?

I'm glad we won the game. We played pretty well. We have been playing better.

I just wish we played with this much purpose as we have these last few games from the very beginning of the season.

Eddie Lampkin is going to pull a DJ Burns end of season run.

1st Half - Pounded the paint with Eddie and Davis = Big Lead
2nd Half - Stopped going inside and resorted to JJ ISO game = FSU comeback

Just lucky Eddie and Davis got us a big enough lead that JJ couldn't fumble this one away.

 

[tee1222]

Lots of offensive rebounds, and JJ's drives in the 2nd half.

Yes! Lamp and Davis bullied their way for putbacks. Also, hockey assists or a couple of passes away from the finish was Lamp with his high and low post passing presence. Causes so much attention that it's usually one or two passes away from an open look...but we had problems with open looks tonight. Freebies and open looks. And still was the better team.

Thet took away Eddie and we could not make a jumper. Jaquan driving got swallowed up. Thank goodness JJ can get his own. We were expected to lose, tough calls not going our way and we still won. I really enjoyed my near heart attack but we won so if my life is a little shorter I am OK. For whatever reason our defense is improving. Have to love that. Big test tomorrow night.

He and Taylor both. Watkins on FSU has very little skill, other than bullying his way into fouls. The refs fall for his crap.

Lots of forearms and elbows and Cuffe never gets that call. He's our modern day Marek! But you're right, Taylor too had a couple of iffies.

 

[Oakland]

Cuffe was robbed! Every single foul call. The last one, he was literally elbowed to the ground. He deserved that bracket.

If I understand this correctly, the refs were looking at Watkins committing a flagrant foul with his sperm whale arm slapping Cuffe in the face, then decided it wasn't a flagrant foul on Watkins, and then charged Cuffe with a foul. Did I get that right?

 

[orangefog]

Those are going to get called, Watkins initiates that contact, and when driving, he throws his chest into the defender forcing a call. It is smart, especially when lacking true skill. But, the refs have to be smarter than that

That's what I saw on dvr over and over again.

I think beating SMU might leave enough of a good feeling for next season. We have played well the last few games, most of the time.

Taylor and Bell were both hot from outside last time we played SMU. We beat them on the boards, and we had more assists. We can beat these guys - or they might not be overlooking us this time and kick our butts.

Red does seem to be playing more players, using more combinations, even if they don't always seem like the best choices.

We want to be hopeful heading into this summer. Big Eddie has actually been a big leader the last few games. Still an "ole" defender, but he can score on the low block.

We have to keep Freeman and have a great portal.

Winning this SMU game would really help.

Beating Clemson would have people feeling very much better about next year, long shot though that may be.

Held on for the win! That’s what matters most. Survive and advance.

I think we’re going to have to figure out how to shoot from outside quickly in this arena to have any chance tomorrow. Don’t think Eddie is built for back to backs (was gassed versus Texas Tech) and Davis can only do so much.

Making a bunch of those layups would be helpful also.

Glad JJ has reeled in the 3 point attempts. He can blow by anyone on SMU so should do the same tomorrow.
