GAME THREAD: MBB at Florida State

[Charleston Pony]

Miller and Harris in double figures but we really need someone else to step up and help offensively. Cross, Edwards and Oquendo now a combined 5-19 FGs

This game is looking like the road game @ Virginia. Guys aren't making threes and struggling in the half court against FSU's defense. Hopefully it ends like the Virginia game but hopefully it doesn't come down to a "make or miss" last shot. Just need to start hitting open threes when they come

Exactly what I was thinking

No answer for Ewin: 20 points ... on 9/10 shooting

[PonyPride]

Yiğitoğlu called for his fourth on a forearm to create a little offensive space — heads to the bench with SMU trailing, 57-53

[PonyPride]

Edwards closes the margin to 57-55 with 2 FTs

Pull the plug on this damn guest - we get it! back to the game!!

[PonyPride]

Ewin fouled by Oquendo

With Yiğitoğlu sitting with 4 fouls, Traore has played 11 minutes, Ambrose-Hylton just 8

Couldn't agree more. Yes, it's Hamilton's last home game, and it's nice that his former players love him, but the questions aren't all about Hamilton. This broadcast amounts to cheerleading.

Oquendo stepping up offensively but we need Cross and Edwards involved as well. Cross has passed up a couple of open threes and appears to be lacking confidence in his perimeter shot today

It is FSU's home game so they are going to get their "homer" announcers and this one is all about Hamilton...or these teams would otherwise be playing on the CW

Amid the fawning over the FSU defense (which has been admittedly impressive):

"To keep an SMU team under its scoring average is no easy task."

Um ... that's the thing about any average. Some are above, some are below. That's how it works.

Cross and Edwards have combined for 14 points on 4/13 shooting

[PonyPride]

Yiğitoğlu back in with 4 fouls with 5:42 to go

Ewin joins Watkins with 3 fouls each

[PonyPride]

Miller's short J gives him a team-high 14 points, closing FSU lead to 65-63

Looks like another furious finish coming today and that looked like that might have been a missed offensive goal tending call to me
