Just win baby

2/17/2013 11:47:41 AM

Time for an FSU unknown to step up

2/17/2013 11:48:54 AM

snare snaer

2/17/2013 11:51:38 AM

If we can get into the mid to upper 70's in points, we should be okay.

2/17/2013 12:22:05 PM

Another close game 65-61

2/17/2013 12:32:40 PM

Refs are gonna screw us and let Snaer hit the game tying shot after he travels taking the game into overtime. Still end up winning with a CJ put back off of a missed Wood 3.

not so sure. just about every team we play happens to have an offensive explosion while playing us. lets just hope we end up shooting significantly more FTs than they do...

2/17/2013 12:35:16 PM

That's becasue we are top 4 in the league. Every team that we play now is desperately looking for a quality win and we are gonna get their best shot. We have to learn to cope with that.

2/17/2013 1:10:34 PM

hope the team learns what defense is in the next 3 days

Purvis needs to find his game again. Hasn't played well at all during this run. Its at home which is always good for us. I expect a win (then again I expect a win in the next 6 games if we are for real). Should be close till around the 7 minutes mark in the second half and we should pull away. CJ needs to play like he did last game. He is so much more effective when he also gets his team involved.

2/17/2013 1:20:49 PM

It's a joke to be a shooting guard who shoots like 50% from the FT line

2/17/2013 2:31:39 PM

not a very funny joke

2/17/2013 2:45:56 PM

I expect their worst shooter will hit multiple threes

Also FSU beat the tar out of us last season. Would love to get some revenge. Do it for Googs and Corch! One year anniversary!!

2/17/2013 2:45:57 PM

Don't really like this matchup. FSU has good size from 1-5 which negates our biggest advantage against most opponents. Really need to force some turnovers and get our transition game going early in this one.

2/17/2013 4:07:43 PM

I predict sophomore guard Terry Whisnant II from Cherryville, NC to get his career high point total.

2/17/2013 4:34:48 PM

expect plenty of this:



for one of these:

2/17/2013 4:41:22 PM

Devon Bookert. Freshman guard who's been battling a knee injury all year but has been heating up recently and his now starting. He's primed to go off on us.

2/17/2013 4:42:54 PM

Tip in with .01 secs on the way!

2/17/2013 4:51:30 PM

look at that rack focus.

also, i'm scared per usual.

2/17/2013 6:26:09 PM

Not so nervous about this one at home... however the last game of reg season @FSU does scare me (their senior night, road game after what should be an easy win at home just 2 weeks earlier)

2/18/2013 9:17:12 AM

We have some freshmen players struggling, but this should be a W.

Lewis in the starting lineup continues to be the best coaching decision this season (Called it).

Pack by 7

2/18/2013 9:28:16 AM

This is gonna be close

2/18/2013 9:36:03 AM

2/18/2013 10:08:19 AM

Expect plenty of this




For one of these

Snaer lives on buzzer beaters to win and we love giving up buzzer beaters to lose. 49-51 FSU on a 3 made with 0.4 left on the clock.

2/18/2013 11:02:39 AM

that makes too much sense for it to happen that way

State loses in special ways, that wouldn't be so special since everyone else loses to them like that

2/18/2013 11:05:13 AM

I doubt they get those against us

2/18/2013 11:09:29 AM

I think we will lose this one a double technical foul

We've caught on to the refs swallowing the whistle at the end and it's time for them to switch it up some

2/18/2013 12:05:36 PM

but, nothing happens on a double technical foul

2/18/2013 12:12:10 PM

except for a 1 point safety against us.

2/18/2013 12:14:15 PM

I expect FSU to roll double yahtzees to crush our NCAA tourney hopes

2/18/2013 12:19:15 PM

Scottieb nailed it

2/18/2013 3:16:33 PM

I am actually going to this game so State better show up. I don't want to waste my money watching us lose to a team that lost to South Alabama, Mercer, and Auburn. Three teams that combined would have maybe 1-2 guys that could start in the ACC.

Honestly I am willing to bet my 401k that this game will come down to the last shot. FSU is good in tight games whereas we seem to just blow leads and have unbelievable shit happen to us. This is going to be an ugly game with a lot of :headshaking: and

2/18/2013 3:31:46 PM

I'm excited!

I gotta give credit to TreeTwista on that one. I got it from his post in the VTech game. I still laugh every time.

2/18/2013 3:46:20 PM

I will be at this game lets get a win!!!!!!.

2/18/2013 5:20:03 PM

Expect plenty of this



For one of these

2/18/2013 5:55:54 PM

For a change , this will be a blowout. For Corch and Googs!

2/18/2013 6:05:05 PM

Close games to finish out the season

we will never blow anyone out...its not possible

2/18/2013 9:12:55 PM

79-75 good guys

2/18/2013 9:19:17 PM

TBDV's break out game. You heard it here first.

2/18/2013 10:59:42 PM

^Whats he gonna break out with, playing time? 2 minutes?

2/19/2013 3:10:11 AM

stay tuned for tomorrow, when TT10 and face will discuss the game

2/19/2013 3:15:15 AM

Taking Jack (11 months) to his first State game tonight. Hope he does well. Hope State plays well so I don't accidentally throw him in a fit of rage. Told my wife she would have to hold him late in the game.

2/19/2013 8:10:55 AM

FSU will have a freshman go off for a career high

2/19/2013 9:25:49 AM

Why aren't we getting a TT10-face preview today?

2/19/2013 9:48:56 AM

I, for one, am waiting with baited breath for it

2/19/2013 9:52:04 AM

First things first.

I want the Doctor Proper, Doctor Unger, Doctor Hughes to know, ..... the release forms have been signed. ..... Your not responsible for the last couple fractures in the forearm, brutha.

The main priority in the yapapi Indian strap match, is to have flexibility in the wrist that you strap to your opponent with, brutha, ..... because in the yapapi Indian strap match, when your in the four corners of the battlezone, ..... the main priority is to get the body in the proper position for the strapation, dudes.

When I get my opponent, right where I want him, ..... when I get him, ..... out of wind, ............ sucking air, .................... sweating from head to toe, I will call out to Indian strapmaster, Jimmy Hart, on ringside,

and I will say to Jimmy Hart, at ringside.

"Gimme yapipi Indian punishment strap number one"

And as I strap your body..... as you scream to the heavens for mercy, ..... as I see your skin start to bubble off your body. ..... You will drop to your knees, and you will say "Please Mr. HOOPS, please, I can't take it anymore. Please I'm sorry I crossed the line."

And as I hear you beg for mercy, that's when I will call to the Indian strapmaster Jimmy Hart, at ringside for Yapipi Indian Punishment strap number two.

That's when the heavier bats will come out.

That's when I will strap your skin.

That's when your skin will start to bubble.

That's when the flesh will start to peel from your hide.

And as I see the raw pink meat on your back brutha, I will take it to another level.

I will transform from HOOPS to Hollywood.

I will double strap you with both fists, and you will scream to the heavens,
"Please HOOPS, don't hurt me anymore."

And I will never stop.

2/19/2013 12:55:28 PM

I'm excited for this game.
