About time we played a team that didn't or couldn't suffocate the Cards defensively. This Cards team needs to find its groove offensively and FSU was the perfect opponent.

18 assists and 6 turnovers.

Good looks usually leads to made shots and the Cards did just that. Great game for Smith and kudos for Waterman.

All around great butt kicking on the road.
 
Yes it is! This team is really starting to adjust to the players that are still healthy. Hopefully we can get on a bit of a run the next month.

It looks like Edwards has settled in. He is playing at a good pace which he wasn’t early in the year.

They run really good stuff and take advantage of switches which forces double teams in post which leads to open shooters.
It is a different way to use the paint touches.

Defense is an issue. They may have issues in some games. But they play hard.
 
This was a big win as far as the development of this team. FSU had the right gameplan at the beginning by concentrating on Chucky. They know or felt like he was our kryptonite but Edwards and Reyne stepped up big time. Chucky just can't get overaggressive on defense and get in foul trouble. Hopefully Traore can help with that. I am disappointed that we can't seem to get more than 1 shot attempt from Scott and Rooths was MIA.

Rooths got 14 minutes yesterday and produced 1 rebound and zero points. Seems like he doesn't get to stay in the game long enough to get in the flow. Seems like he just gets a couple minutes here and there. After the Duke game I figured his minutes would increase, especially with our short roster.. Guess Kelsey has his reasons but I'd be curious to know what they are..

He's probably not improving at something the coaches want him to improve on. The bench is a perfect motivator and if a coach feels he can win the game keeping the player on the bench, he will.

Rooths a rookie, surrounded by dudes who started their college careers when he was 13 years old. He needs to learn and improve on what's being asked of him, and then he will get back on the court.
