Basketball Observations: FSU Leaves its Defense in Tallahassee

*Full disclosure, I watched the majority of the first half on a phone (and not one of the new “phones” that’s the size of a small computer), meaning my observations may have been limited...thanks for nothing, West Virginia.

Above the Rim:

  • The first half defense was...well, there wasn’t any. FSU showcased slow rotations in man-to-man, looked completely lost in a 1-3-1 zone, wasn’t getting deflections or creating indecision for Pitt, and allowed easy dribble penetration to the hoop. The ‘Noles gave up 1.36 points per possession and created one turnover in a 30 possession half.
