I love Florida State in this situation. first they lost to a lousy Auburn team thhis past week. the reasn for this loss is they settled for 3 point clangers and did not take the ball to the low post. I'm sure Leonard Hamilton will fix that issue for this game.
Fl State ranks # 1 nationally in FG% defense at 34.7%, they are also #3 in blocked shots. Florida state also has alot of tall and long players which does not bode well for this depleted VA Tech squad.
Conveersly Va Tech is down to 8 scholarship players and basicall two big men, with Jeff Allen at about 70% per Greenburgs write up in this mornings paper. He has a groin injury. Tech is on a 5 game win streak but the last two games were against some real bottom feeders.
I see Tech playing a 1-3-1 zone vs. their usual man to man. I see Fl State working the ball down low and pounding the boards. which should get one or both of Techs big men i foul trouble. If this happens watch out for the blow out.
I made a large bet on Fl State +4- and a fairly large bet on the money line as well.
