FSU @ GT 1/30/2021

I will be the first to admit I didn't see this coming. Kudos to Jose for willing this to happen. Devoe played well against a team I thought he would struggle. Shows what I know.

On the other side I do know there will be multiple margaritas tonight.

 

[MiracleWhips]

yes, I would like to place an order, please. Can I get some more Khalid Moore and a little less Bubba? Great, I would also like “Good Devoe” instead of “Bad Devoe.” I’ll also add hot-shooting Usher, “take over the game” Alvarado, and “Dunk everything” Moses. And finally, for the love of God, can I get a decent backup big man for a few minutes this game? Thank you, I will drive around.

I think you got everything you asked for lol

Wright ended up with MORE steals than Jose. SIX steals

Moses is actually in the top 10 in steals in the ACC.

 

[YlJacket]

Oh and I will be really interested to see how this impacts our NET ranking going into Louisville

That’s a savage set of stats:

Jose is clearly the engine that carries the team. We will be in every game this year because of him. We can beat nearly any team in the league when Moses and Devoe are on as well

We can beat nearly any team in the country if those three are on

1 game where he scores LIKE HE SHOULD EVERY GAME. And the other 2 he didn't even check in the game mentally.

Stop with the hard on for Devoe. He is good when he wants to be. Mr. Inconsistent should be his name. Alvarado on the other hand should be unquestionably 1st team All ACC this year. Moses Wright should be 1st or 2nd team as well.

Such a poor poor sad sack look.

Do you manage employees?
You don't know what is going on with him. Could be school, could be family, could be girlfriend...who knows? He is probably the best Pastner recruit out of HS (who knew Moses would develop like he has). It helps nothing to dump on him.

He says he talked about a few things with the team:

the urgency needed on close outs as soon as the ball touched a player’s hand “the stick hand” get the hand out in their face before they catch it.

Bubba’s cousin died last week in an accident and so opted out of the game. Gave him some love and that they were dedicating the win to his family.

usher stayed high while on the bench. He stayed hype and kept his head up during the ride from the fouls.

Hyped Devoe for shot selection, rebounding, etc.

Called Moses a stud, then couldn’t find an adjective that could summarize Jose.

Said he told Devoe “we don’t need tou to score for us to win, just be a complete player, if you Miss you miss. That’s fine” then something to do with just make sure the fundamentals are good.

He also was positive on Kyle for being active in D, was good moving the ball and played good minutes inside of what he is being asked to do (I read into this to confirm what some of us - myself included- have been saying that his role right now is to do EXACTLY what he is doing.) felt good to hear.

Called the win a gritty, tough, scraping game.

No comment on the ED or nuts.com commercials.

Out of the all the teams in this murderous stretch, this was the game that worried me the most. Gentlemen, our guys did work today.

Great win!!!!

 

[CuseJacket]

Also, we need to play a deeper bench. It's the only way we'll be fresh enough to win these types of games.

 

[AUFC]

That’s a savage set of stats:

Look at those offensive board numbers. It takes a hell of a lot of heart and hustle to pull down numbers like that with our size against FSU's size.

 

[lv20gt]

Absolutely phenomenal win.

Jose has been on an absolute scorching run of games. 6th game of the last 7 scoring 20 or more. Averaging nearly 5 steals a game the last 4 games. Over 5 assists per game the last . Shooting great. Defending greater. I'm biased but he's the frontrunner for PoY in the ACC for me. I know people are gonna love on the bubblyguy for Pitt and he's had a great year, but he doesn't impact the game the way Jose does.

Moses had another just all around good game. Padded the scoring stat a bit at the end but even before then he was contributing offensively, rebounding well, and playing defense like a madman.

Devoe with a good hard bounce back win. Shot wasn't always falling but he certainly came through in the clutch. It's amazing the things that are said about him at time considering how productive he has been for us.

Moore, Usher, and Sturdivent all held their own on the defensive end, because FSU is the type of team where if you have a weak link defensively they will take advantage and there wasn't really one tonight.

Overall, I don't feel like FSU played their best. But that happens to every team, and we still had to play well to capitalize on it. Especially impressive since we didn't have one of our better shooting nights. We've played arguably the hardest conference schedule so far with 5 of our 7 games coming against teams currently in the top 6 of conference play, and yet are 4-3 in conference. If this team can continue to play like it has so far this year, we could see a very strong finish.

Biggest win since .........?

Just nice.
