Florida State Turning Around Season
It really seems that Florida State is turning around their season and they have won four games in a row. In the last game against Notre Dame it was the defense that gave up only 58 points and they ended up winning by nine points. The offense was led by a balanced attack with four different players putting up at least 10 points. Amir Spears had a strong game putting up 13 points, two rebounds, and one assist. Florida State on the season is averaging 76.7 points while their defense is giving up 73.1 points per game. Jamir Watkins is averaging 13 points while shooting 41.6 percent from the field.
How Good is Miami?
This Miami has a ton of talent, but they have been inconsistent this season. Two games ago against Louisville, Miami lost by nine points. In the last game though they bounced back going on the road and knocking off the Virginia Tech Hokies. At halftime they were down by a point, but in the second half they scored 46 points on the way to the victory. Matthew Cleveland had a strong game putting up 21 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Miami on the season is averaging 83.7 points while their defense is giving up 72.3 points per game. Norchad Omier is averaging 17.3 points while shooting 61.9 percent from the field and 32 percent from behind the three point line. In this game the Miami defense is going to need to step up in a big way.Â
