- 2:30Speaker 2: Should have had the first one.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Yeah, a big game though tonight.
- 2:34Speaker 2: This was a good response from getting beat at home in a game where your fans came out against Clemson but you did not show up.
- 2:48Speaker 2: But the first test you have on the road, you answered by being up 20 in the second half, 85, 60, 85, 69 and win 12 and 7, 6 and 2 in the ACC.

- 3:48Speaker 1: A slim one, a tiniest little slimy, slim, little smidge.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to get up.
- 3:55Speaker 1: We got to get that win on Saturday.
- 3:57Speaker 1: But let's look at this game.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Let's look at this game Huge response Huge response.
- 4:03Speaker 2: What's the first thing that sticks out besides Jermir walking 27 points?
- 4:10Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a double, double.
- 4:11Speaker 1: We'll get to that.
- 4:12Speaker 1: We'll get to that First thing that sticks out.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Defensive effort back.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I thought it kind of just went away in the second half against.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Clemson Did not so much in this game and Syracuse was awful from the field.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Yeah, well from three.
- 4:36Speaker 1: They were 7% from three.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I think there are like 44 from the field.
- 4:41Speaker 2: He had four guys and double figures for the.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Noles and Coran at 10, Spears at 13,.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Six Assist Miller had 12 points, Watkins 27 points.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Right 27 and 11.
- 5:00Speaker 2: What a Jekyll and Hyde player he is but he can play.
- 5:04Speaker 2: He had family there.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah, and I man, when he's on, he's so good he is, he's quick.
- 5:14Speaker 2: He's quick.
- 5:14Speaker 2: He played cornerback in high school.
- 5:17Speaker 2: That's primo.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's what I was talking about.
- 5:22Speaker 2: He's quick.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Yeah, who are you talking about?
- 5:26Speaker 1: Watkins, oh, Watkins man.
- 5:29Speaker 2: Oh gosh, All right, here we go.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Watkins, Are you kidding me?
- 5:35Speaker 2: This guy was at 3 and D at VCU, Like what.
- 5:41Speaker 2: What is VCU doing with their program with this guy?
- 5:44Speaker 2: I mean, he can do it all.
- 5:48Speaker 2: He did have a lot of tournaments tonight, but he does like to press the issue.
- 5:52Speaker 2: They can.
- 5:53Speaker 2: It feels like Hamilton has kind of released him.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Yeah, you know five turnovers, like you said tonight.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Right, I'm just gonna say it.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I think it's an upgrade from what you had two years of Matthew Cleveland.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Well, that's the game now, I think, the way he fits into and you can make the argument that Cleveland had less of a team around him than they have right now.
- 6:21Speaker 1: But I just you know, I think Florida State upgraded.
- 6:27Speaker 1: They got a better player for their system.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Consistency is the only but man dude that he was pretty much just a man amongst boys out there for a lot of the first half and then can't he 27 points man.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the guy.
- 6:48Speaker 2: It just didn't, didn't stop.
- 6:50Speaker 2: I mean I love the one position where he got fouled, but it was after he got blocked, but he got his own rebound after being blocked.
- 7:01Speaker 2: We're right back up.
- 7:02Speaker 2: I mean just relentless.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it's not to be denied, yeah, and they Get on board.
- 7:10Speaker 1: That's kind of the theme with the team.
- 7:13Speaker 1: They all have that high motor mentality man and you know they go through the offensive lulls where they they came in a buck.
- 7:21Speaker 2: They've seen it.
- 7:21Speaker 2: They were it's five minutes without scoring in some games, but this was the kind of effort you want to see.
- 7:28Speaker 2: After getting out scored 36, 35 in the first half, you went, came back and dropped 50 on them in the second half and held them to 33.
- 7:38Speaker 2: So-.
- 7:39Speaker 2: And it's you know, it's Hamilton.
- 7:42Speaker 1: Hamilton's system.
- 7:43Speaker 1: You know the deep bench, grinding teams down like that's what won this game, like that tonight.
- 7:49Speaker 2: You shot 49%.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're 44%, so you?
- 7:53Speaker 2: got them in five percentage points in the shooting.
- 7:57Speaker 1: It's a lot prettier when you make your shots.
- 8:00Speaker 2: They didn't make any threes.
- 8:01Speaker 2: They were one of 14 from three.
- 8:04Speaker 1: You made a little bit.
- 8:05Speaker 1: They have-.
- 8:06Speaker 2: You were a six to 17, but not you know.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Their offense was A little bit above Judo mints driving to the that's the difference to the game Driving to the bucket.
- 8:14Speaker 1: And you know he's either going to get the foul, he's going to make it, maybe both, or if he misses it, they're going to get the rebound and the putback.
- 8:22Speaker 2: They had plenty of chances on the free throw line.
- 8:24Speaker 2: They had 33.
- 8:27Speaker 1: 33 free throw attempts, how many for Florida State 20.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I mean, that's what that one point guard you were talking about.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's arguably the best in the country at getting to the line, getting into the.
- 8:41Speaker 1: I mean, dude, he's really good, he's really good Men's.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, I meant, but he had 28.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Damn those reps.
- 8:50Speaker 1: 28 points, those reps fall for it every time Walkins, walkins, men's.
- 8:55Speaker 2: but they equaled themselves out Walkins, kind of like they did fall for it.
- 9:00Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I was.
- 9:02Speaker 2: I mean it's saving now that FSU basketball is getting refbed up in Syracuse.
- 9:08Speaker 2: But they were standard, they were stood that and they just kept coming.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I was that.
- 9:16Speaker 1: That's that bench man.
- 9:17Speaker 1: You got fouls to give and you can run it 10 and 11 deep.
- 9:20Speaker 2: I like the response from Kind of your.
- 9:24Speaker 2: I listened to Hamilton before the game and I heard him talk about how his team didn't handle it like he wanted them to against Clemson.
- 9:37Speaker 2: And that makes sense because that was probably the most fans they've seen all year and they did not bring the effort he thought that was required.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's like you said.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Clemson's a bad matchup man.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
- 9:55Speaker 1: They can't, they don't.
- 9:57Speaker 1: They're not a team that Florida State can bully down low with, with the length and with you know the age, with Ganey and kind of his.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Like Clemson can match that, they can match the size and they, they're good.
- 10:09Speaker 1: The record doesn't reflect it but they're.
- 10:11Speaker 1: You know they're a bad matchup for Florida State.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Syracuse is a good matchup, a favorable matchup.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Right, they're not deep, they're not particularly tall.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I think six, nine is about the as tall as they go and Florida State just wore them down.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Right, they did it.
- 10:30Speaker 1: I was shocked.
- 10:31Speaker 1: I was shocked that second half was that's exactly what you wanted to see as an.
- 10:37Speaker 1: FSU fan.
- 10:38Speaker 1: You know 50 points after.
- 10:40Speaker 1: I mean you know Q's was going in with the momentum Um.
- 10:46Speaker 2: I mean you, only you.
- 10:47Speaker 2: You were right there in the rebounding battle, like you, only lost it by three.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Right, that's what you want to see from this team is to get it close to battle.
- 10:57Speaker 2: What's his?
- 10:57Speaker 1: uh, what?
- 10:57Speaker 1: Uh, Randolph Childress, the guy doing the game man.
- 11:01Speaker 1: Interesting point that Florida State just isn't a strong rebounding team and they're not.
- 11:05Speaker 1: I mean, that's a team that they have a size advantage over and they're still giving up the rebounding in it, but it's the the timeliness of the rebounds.
- 11:14Speaker 1: You know the ability to get your own board off of missed free throw.
- 11:17Speaker 1: You know the putback and things and stuff like that.
- 11:19Speaker 1: Um, that kind of relentless high motor team like length but not size.
- 11:27Speaker 2: You know, they don't have the girth to get the boards required.
- 11:31Speaker 2: But if they, if this team can get close in the boards, they're going to be successful.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you'd like to see them get a little bit stronger there.
- 11:41Speaker 2: I, I, yeah, but you want it exactly If you, if they can try to match the other team, you match the other team on rebounding.
- 11:48Speaker 2: I think you can win games with this, with this unit, I think just just hit, shots man.
- 11:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Try to hover around 40% from the field for the rest of the way and you're going to have a chance.
- 12:01Speaker 1: No more of those games where you just struggling 49%.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean they were.
- 12:06Speaker 1: They were drilling stuff tonight.
- 12:08Speaker 2: You need to shoot 35 or higher from three point.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Yeah, they're right there at 35% tonight.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Very, very few who's going to stay.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Teams have been, you know, high percent.
- 12:20Speaker 1: I want to see Bob.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Bob Miller, be more aggressive.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:23Speaker 2: And he's been showing that and he's got to.
- 12:25Speaker 2: I think he's going to hopefully get into that role, but he's got to be more aggressive, especially when he's away from the basket.
- 12:33Speaker 2: And when he's on that three point line, I want him to look to assassinate people.
- 12:39Speaker 1: He's got to look.
- 12:39Speaker 2: is that that is his ticket?
- 12:42Speaker 1: If you're, I mean seriously, you want to see him take over the game.
- 12:45Speaker 1: You're six, seven feet, like in today's, today's basketball game.
- 12:48Speaker 2: What are you doing?
- 12:49Speaker 2: I mean, like you should, you should want to like be deadly from three.
- 12:54Speaker 2: He should work on that skill.
- 12:56Speaker 2: He should work on his shot.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:58Speaker 1: From, from, from deadly range you know right now it's going to open up everything, yeah, and I mean, you know, some nights it'll fall, but I really like what I've seen on his rebounding and his physical.
- 13:11Speaker 2: He looked like he has to hit the weight room.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Yeah, it's done that.
- 13:15Speaker 2: It's a shame that he got the first half of his season cut off last year.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of experience.
- 13:22Speaker 1: They.
- 13:23Speaker 1: They robbed that.
- 13:24Speaker 1: That kid of you know it's 16 games that he didn't participate in.
- 13:29Speaker 1: That's a lot of it's a lot of minutes, man.
- 13:33Speaker 1: You just you can't replace that.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Pretty, pretty messed up, but I'm pretty most he had 12 points.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Uh, three rebounds for him, but 11 rebounds for Watkins, and he was everywhere.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Oh, my goodness.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Yeah, here was everywhere tonight.
- 13:49Speaker 1: He's got to making is a really special player.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Um, I Really hope that he, he comes back next year.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I think that you know, if he gets more consistent with that jump shot, I mean to do it the second half of this season.
- 14:04Speaker 1: I mean, you know he he shoots like he does tonight for the rest of the season.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Man, we got, we got something going.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I mean he was just the one man show tonight.
- 14:15Speaker 2: I mean you had like sidekicks and you had I mean baba miller and spears with 13 and then corn would 10 and five.
- 14:25Speaker 2: But I mean he it was, he had 29 minutes.
- 14:29Speaker 2: We're the also had 29 minutes Um six points four sits for worthy.
- 14:35Speaker 2: So I mean he's not Blowing it.
- 14:41Speaker 1: No, I'm dude playing a lot better.
- 14:43Speaker 1: He is.
- 14:44Speaker 1: They're all playing better.
- 14:45Speaker 1: They're playing system basketball.
- 14:48Speaker 1: They're playing as a team.
- 14:49Speaker 1: Um, dude, like they're down six points in this game, mm-hmm, you know they, they really put the clamps on Syracuse?
- 14:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's really down six points in the second half, yeah then they walked it back and, yeah, I really did they, yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 2: At that point, right there, from that point on up, when they were down six.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Yeah they.
- 15:10Speaker 1: They went on a six-oh run you know, that was it that nice alley-oop and then it that was kind of Syracuse had nothing left after that.
- 15:17Speaker 2: They didn't they were drinking and that's team lives to find another day.

- 15:57Speaker 2: He talked about Uh, the team and how they responded from the home crowd Advantage.
- 16:03Speaker 2: They didn't use it as an advantage Against Clemson.
- 16:07Speaker 2: They had their most support and he didn't like the way that this team responded.
- 16:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think, I think they used it.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Yeah they kind of got in their head a little bit, so use that as your advantage.
