I'm itching for the game. FSU is a good team, but I want for us to have a big win this week, and I want to set up the showdown for a chance at the regular season title.
Will Williams continue his outstanding on-ball defense against one of the absolute best the ACC has to offer in Douglas? Will Singler build off his tremendous second half against VT and be a force against the Noles? Will Henderson have recovered from whatever seemed to be ailing him in the second half at VT?
This game could tell us a lot about where we are come tourney time. FSU is going to be in the #5-7 range, which is roughly the quality of team we'll likely face in rounds 2 and (hopefully) 3 of the NCAA tournament. We've just handled two strong efforts from bubble teams on the road. Now, we need to handle a mid-level tourney team at home.
I'm getting impatient!
