We really should handle this one. FSU has beaten literally no one of note although they played UF and Duke close. But they usually get blown out by half decent teams. Good game for the guards to get right.
 
Really struggling to generate good looks early
 
My halftime thoughts are stop turning the ball over
 
Thankfully there aren’t many FSU fans to speak of, but the building is ******* dead tonight
 
Gotta push these Euro’s out and get something better. 3 absolute bums.
 
All the **** they’ve let go tonight and you call that foul lmfao
 
You can’t hide Temo bad on offense and defense and turns the ball over to boot. He belongs at Miami Dade or Barry.
 
We really gonna lose to FSU after last night? Hope not lol
 
Fsu has absolutely owned miami in basketball. I dont understand but they have looked like total garbage these last two games. Turnovers everywhere. Cant shoot for ****
Yeah this game sucks...neither team can hit a shot lol
 
We are in real danger of losing this game to a 7-11 team at home... Tru especially looks awful (again), and Dante Allen generally just as bad.

edit: not to mention the usual disappointing nbr 88 again... sigh
