CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton paid Kihei Clark a huge compliment in the handshake line after the fifth-year point guard helped lead No. 3 Virginia over the Seminoles 62-57.
“I’ll be glad when you go,” Hamilton said he told Clark, who scored 18 points Saturday. “He smiled. See, I gotcha, though. That’s what he was thinking.”
The Seminoles coach wasn’t finished.
“He didn’t lose his poise. And for a little guy, his strength is his IQ. You know, we can talk about his dribbling skills and hitting his free throws and big shots, but he makes great decisions.
