[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 395419, member: 1929"] A few comments: 1. I thought we did best defensively with both AD and Ben in the game. I'm not sure how much it's his health, what's between the ears, teams adjusting to Ben, the type of defenses we are playing, less ability of wings to deny drives to basket, or what, but opponents this year are really moving him off the block to keep from protecting the rim or getting post entry on him going 1-on-1 where he is less effective as a shot blocker. Also keeps him out of rebounding position. At least with Gueye in there we had more. Especially in the 2nd half, when we went to man, FSU used a lot of screens on the bigs to open things up. Their size/versatility/athleticism really kept us trying to avoid switching. 2. I know it's FSU's style, but, man, we could not keep them from getting in the lane off the drive. The tight foul-calling I'm sure contributed to our hesitancy to deny drives. We drew one charge that I remember. I think we need to hire coach K to do a 1-day clinic for us to learn how to flop. 3. I thought we did well offensively, except we were hampered (again) by their extended pressure on our guards. That pulled Ben and AD out to the perimeter to bail us out but keeps them from being involved in the offense. One thing I don't like about our cutting offense is it can help collapse the defense without a player driving the ball, so there's more traffic to deal with when you try. With that kind of extended pressure, good court spacing can open up a driving lane. Virginia was too good to let that happen regularly. UNC was not as disciplined defensively but also really tried to create turnovers rather than get stops. FSU more in the middle. 4. Things can get a lot more fun for us when we build a deeper, more versatile, athletic roster as CJP is trying to do. Fatigue really killed us in both halves (not just foul trouble). At a slow pace, we can cope with this better, but FSU wasn't going to allow that, and also we demonstrated that a lot of our players can thrive with a bit more push. 5. So many of our turnovers are on bad passes, and a lot of times passes that were just inaccurate instead of ill-advised. Really frustrating. Dunno what to do about it except build more depth and experience. 6. There were stretches where FSU was just on fire and playing at home. Really impressed how we did not fold. At times I was a bit reeling, but I thought this was a very entertaining game. The first 10 minutes might have been the best level of play from both teams I've seen in CBB this year. [/QUOTE]
