I know FSU has to win in the tourney but whats the ideal situation for FSU?

Question

IMO if FSU gets a 3-6 seed in Missouri's regional with either G-Town or Ohio State as the 2, that would give them the best chance for a final 4 run matchup wise.
We match up great against Mizzou and G-Town, and if we could find a way to contain Sullinger, tOSU lacks major scorers which plays well with our defense.

Any team not in the top 10 right now, i am confident in a one game setting FSU can win (as long as they are not in the Ivy)

Answer 1

I also think we are a matchup nightmare for Missouri not just because of personnel but because Frank Haith is about 1-12 all time vs Ham

Answer 2

I would rather stay away from Ohio State honestly! Syracuse (ZONE D) and Ohio State for me are two teams I think we could be beaten by pretty badly. Haven't watched Kentucky enough to see how well we would math up with them. However, I would certainly take a Frank Haith coached team anyway in the tournament.How many tournament wins/experience does he really have? I think Mizzou gets bounced fairly early IMO!

Missouri is tough for me. On the one hand, we have proven to have a very difficult time at stopping smaller, super quick guards from penetrating and breaking down our defense, leaving wide open guys on the perimeter. (See the UF, Clemson, BC, and VT games.) This is Mizzou's MO and I worry that they would either bury us in threes or foul out half our guards from all the reaching.

On the other hand, it's Ham vs Haith and we know who has got the better of that matchup historically.

I definitely don't want Kentucky, as they are a better us. I don't want Syracuse because we can't play against a zone. And I don't really want Michigan State because a) we already saw how that went; and b) Tom Izzo is Mr. March. So maybe Kansas is the 1 seed I most want to see? Or maybe it really is Missouri, since I feel Missouri has a better chance to be upset in the second round or Sweet 16, due to their (and their head coach's) relative inexperience deep in the tourney?

If I could choose any of the top teams as our 1 seed, I would choose Ohio State. No depth, one main player in the post who we could frustrate with a wave of bigs, and streaky three-point shooting. But I don't think Ohio State ends up a 1 seed.

Man, we really need to get a 3 seed. Let's hope the committee really likes our SOS, and maybe the take into account that Ian Miller wasn't here for three of our losses.

Answer 4

Ideally, if FSU wins 6 games in the NCAAT, we should be set...

Answer 5

Georgetown? They run a similar system as Princeton, Harvard and BC but the Hoya's have better athletes. I want nothing to do w/ GU.

Answer 8

Ideally a 3 seed if not a 6 If we are a 4 or 5 and make it to the final 16 we most likely will have to play SU or UK
