Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 1654170, member: 285"] Weak finish to the first half was troublesome. Weak finish to the second half was simply sloppiness resultant from stall ball and the BIG lead. I don't know if I would call our turnovers "unforced". I think FSU did a good job of pressuring the primary ball handlers and trying to deny passes to ball handlers that did not have the ball, especially first few passes of a possession. If Syracuse managed to take care of the ball and stayed patient the defense seemed to break down and yield a good shot. There were a lot of times where I thought their defense was good and then all of a sudden we just had a wide open look or open path down the middle of the lane. Not sure whether it was the difference in effort among individual guys on D or whether they ultimately lost guys the longer the possessions continued?? [/QUOTE]
