That's what kept us in the Clemson and Wake games. Thats a great point Ricksterps about D not going into a slump. That's what kept us in the Clemson and Wake games.

If we don't get some points from a couple of them, we will be in serious trouble next season. Having said that, I really like the class we have coming in next season.

Before I get reprimanded, I know, we still have a long way to go this season.

That would put Mosley at the 2-spot. A big lineup. The concern is where the points will come from.

Gary will probably give them the starting job to open the season but I see them being supplanted as the season goes on.

Milbourne had a great game last night 18pts 6reb 3blocks 3steals
That is playing well on both ends of the court.

One of the biggest things has been GV improving his D. He has really bought in on playing sound D and creating havoc.

Defense never goes in a slump. You will have off shooting nights but playing good D is about effort and technique.

At this point in his career, J-Will is a much better defender. His offensive game needs more polish but that can come later. Lonnie as an upperclassman was an extremely efficient post-player. He shielded his man so well and his finishing was great. He had that little baby-hook going to his right on the face-up too. Lonnie made himself a good player.

Funny quotes from a FSU message board, “Leonard Hamilton, making Top 30 players undraftable since 2004″…..”What would Gary Williams do with our talent?”.

GV brings alot of heat on himself on the road because he is who he is. But no one should have to endure blatant racism while playing basketball. Students were holding up signs that said “Deport Vasquez” and “Vasquez your mom cleans my house”. This leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I hope the FSU administration issues a public apology.

Terrell Stoglin must be watching our games and thinking, “Damn! I'm gonna start at PG from day one!”.
