MIAMI (-4.5) @FSU Tues 7PM ESPNU

[AmherstCane]

We have played two of the most ridiculous halves of basketball I have ever seen. If we get a touch sloppy after that half, I think I will still take it lol.

Almost lost the first one (assuming you’re referring to Cornell).

This game was better (**** good, actually)… but still not quite there yet with the killer instinct that is needed to survive the madness.

Edit: one specific example: 17 turnovers this game, most of which came in the second half.

The looks on the fsu fans faces in the crowd nurture my soul.

Beverly with the nice floater, charge. The announcer was right, that rule should be changed.

 

[TheRichtShow]

Even though FSU is bad, that still felt great. We needed a beatdown of FSU in the worst way.

Also by far the best game Pack has played in terms of passing/creating. His shot is heating up, but if he can be more than just a shooter we'll really have a dynamic offense

Lack of a true pg, our defense from that position isn't as good as other years either, Pack is giving us what he does best though.

Very nice win!
Let’s go!!

Just wanted to check in for all Canes from North Florida to say ...

They never, ever get old

If you think some of us are negative at times, you should have heard them muttering and sputtering ... it was so much better than the war chant, which i heard once all night only.

Just watching highlights and kudos to Poplar in that first half. Wong needs to keep the intensity what a difference when he does that.

They are that low because they were awful in November and early December. They aren't that awful now, and are playing much better. If they were awful like Lville, they would be 14 point underdogs or something like that. They just lost by 9 to UVA. They won back to back ACC road games. This will be very tough to get a W.

If we can lose to GT on the road, we certainly can lose to FSU on the road. FSU beat GT by 11.

Nope, they're awful. November and December matter. If you're bad for 2 months, you're bad. They had a decent week last week, because there is randomness in sports, but tonight proved that they stink.

That 10 game losing streak is now over!

 

[caneworld]

Time to ramp it up... next 4 are tough games.

 

[HurikaneMarc]

NIgel Pack is up to 39% from 3pt range. Feels like things are coming together.

 

[insaneinthecane]

Nijel with some good hands again

Probably Packs best game of the season. He actually attacked and got to the rim and even finished. I’m sure Coach L would love to see more of that!

 

[Gables Canes]

Probably Packs best game of the season. He actually attacked and got to the rim and even fished. I’m sure Coach L would love to see more of that!

He also had 5 assists.

9.

Big thing this team needs to get better at is crushing the opponent once they get them down.

The team has let their foot off the throats of too many opponents.

This game was an improvement - but still work to do.

You want to see a 30+ point win in a game like this at this stage of the year.

Killer instinct is essential for success in March.

This is a really delusional take. Blowout wins on the road, in conference play, are extremely rare. We won by 23 points so not sure why you’re complaining.

 

[Go Canes!!]

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Pack shooting 52% from 3 the last 3 games.
