[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 677365, member: 2784"] The context today was even with their injuries, they are a better basketball team than we are. CJP said it himself that we tried to recruit most of their team hard and simply couldn't get them. So the result isn't surprising - we would have had to play near perfect BB to beat them and we didn't. Having said that I thought we did compete and we did not play "bad" basketball by any stretch. Not always smart basketball but not bad. On defense we competed hard and played them even on the boards. That was one key for me today. On offense we obviously let their length and physicality bother us - but we kept driving to challenge the rim which played to their length and the way the game was called. When we penetrated and kicked to start ball movement around the line was when DeVoe got his shots. FSU plays switching/helping man so any penetration will lead to multiple guys in the paint and them flying out to recover. We worked them pretty good most of the first half and then into the second before resorting more to a less intelligent gotta get to the rim game. Especially frustrating as they had us starting our offense almost at half court so there was no way in hadies we were getting a clean drive to the basket. Overall I thought we played a top of the ACC team at their court about like what a middle of the pack ACC team would play them. This wasn't the game to judge whether we are "back" or whatever. Would have been a major upset. UNC on the other hand is wounded and that is where we need to strike. [/QUOTE]
