A primer on US vs FSU:http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...meId=401123386

I'm sure Caduceus will expand this basic post. We're a one seed but we need some of our guys to focus and get tougher for this one.
7 ft 4 in, 6 ft 10 bigs with two 6 ft 8 in forwards and two guard at 6 ft 4 in and 6 ft 7 in. Big team who seem to have hit their stride.

We need a very good defense strategy and we need to run our transition game. Hope our LD shooting improves. I have no doubt the key will be packed with bigs.

Earth must have sped-up its pace around the sun. Time is moving slower today. Went to mow the lawn for a bit, thought I had put in a good hour, only to return 20 minutes later.

T-Minus 5 hrs til tipoff.

My stomach already in knots, feeling anxious, yet excited. I'm grateful to feel this stressed out.

Go get it Zags!

All the guys have to do is return to form....and we win. Go hard from the start, let the shooters shoot and hit the boards. Defense is key. We move on. A tough out is FSU but we can do it despite their size.

Agree Abe. Foul issues too, don't want to be trying to balance and protect Clarke, Rui, Tillie all game long. To beat these guys, they need to be fully engaged and available.

Hope the refs let them play. Both sides.

[DZ]

2.5 hours now.

I, too, desperately hope the refs let the kids play. One really gets a pit in the stomach when one senses kids not playing full out (or at all) due to foul issues.

I think that the foul issues really took Tilliie out of his game last time.

Damn is today ever going slow.

It is going to speed up right quick-like here in about an 1.5 now.
