One Point Short

0:00Not you know may ask you one question The Northklore is for Northหมirtus floor North MIKE Modelo No Neck, but does not wanna You gotta give us a shot Do you know what you Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don'tDon't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't Don't But you gotta give us a shot, you know what it is? Modelo Who's there at win, who's there at win, and the ACC tournament runs to the nose, the end, and the quarterfinal as they lose by one point to do 80 to 79. Last second shot by Robert McCrae to win the game was not to be, and the

1:04nose lose a hard fought game to the number one team in the country. The Duke Blue Devils 80 to 79 Duke was able to clamp down on the second half on the defensive end, but Florida State was able to give it one last shot and had a shot. I mean they got to stop down one, elected not to call a timeout, had the ball and Robert McCrae's hands as he took the ball over into Florida State territory. He settled for the long three-pointer instead of driving to the hole and that's the end of the game. I don't disagree with the decision not to call a timeout though. I disagree with the decision to take the shot, but that's you know this is the guy who's done they wouldn't be in any situation

2:06without him. Maybe in hindsight you take a time out and you reinforce that to him that you go to the you go and you take it strong. But that's that's my name running quarterback. Florida State wanted this game they looked like the the team that wanted it more they shot the ball better 28 to 54 to 20 to 64, but the difference there is the shot attempts and they just amount of attempts that Duke was able to have by getting so many offensive rebounds, 20 offensive rebounds to Florida State's five. Out rebound of the nose 44 to 24 and that's the game. They just kept giving themselves chances by getting the ball and getting second chances. We get just a couple more boards there you win this game.

3:1417 assists for Duke, only 10 assists for the nose. May 11-3s to 10 for Duke. Duke was 10 to 34 from 3, 11 to 28 for the nose. They had the shots that they needed to make. The difference was in the rebounding apartment and I guess at the end not taking it to the hole, but man it sucks. It sucks losing a much rather lose a close game like this than get blown out. But you feel for Robert McRae after the effort he's put up this last month, the way this team's been playing, they should be in the tournament, but it's about resume. It's about the whole season. And then that stretch they had in the beginning of the season was just too bad to overcome, but they damn sure went close and they gave themselves a

4:19chance to play for a postseason tournament, which hasn't been done here in a while. So the NIT is something that's going to be on the horizon for Florida State and I think it's something to be excited about. Even if you win that game tonight, you're not in the tournament unless you win two more. But the way this team played, the way they showed about what this program is about, I think the future is bright for Florida State. As far as this game, man, you know, I don't in the first half in particular the fouls. What are we doing here, Refs? I mean, jerseys are getting are getting fouls here. Every time Boozard touched it, he got it called and then they're hacking Jones all over the floor and he's not going on the line. Second half had changed. I wonder what happened. Maybe Luke

5:19Laos got into the Refs at halftime. But Duke came out with a defensive mindset in the second half and they went on that big 19 to two run that pretty much won in the game. But Florida State, even after that run down nine was able to get it back and make this game anybody's game. And to be up and then to give that run up and then to battle back and give yourself another shot was just shows the heart of this team. You feel for him and there's going to there's going to be a tough tough locker room. But you held hold your head up high. No, I really enjoyed

6:21this team. I liked everything they had. There's a lot of what if this and what if that with this team? Because you you saw what the potential could be. And it was it was fun to watch in Luke Laos just first year. Got a nice recruiting class coming in basketball. You kind of had to retool your team every year. So the transfer portal opens up right after the tournament. So I'm excited about the future for Florida State. This one stings though. This one stings because you had it. You had the big win against the number one team in the country. You had everybody would have been talking. But I wasn't surprised by the game. I thought floor state could win. I was like, I don't know if they're going to win, but they're going to give it a shot when I saw the line at 16 and a half. I bet a lot of money on it because it's just disrespectful. First of all, you saw the game

7:25when floor state was struggling. They put up the most points. Any other team did against you to have to be favored by six to lose 16 and a half was really disrespectful. In this game, you had the first half. I believe the officials really got in the way. Tiki-Tak Files and McCray had three thousand the first half. Glad he was able to finish the game out. But you know, what do you get there? 13 points for Wiggins. 25 from McCray. 28 for the Trey Jones. Both of those guys played great. 10 and 19 from McCray. 8 to 15 for Jones. Four of

8:25eight from three. Two of eight from McCray and the last one. Eight of eight from the line from LaJay Jones. Great game for LaJay Jones. Just left it all out there. Nobody had three guys and double figures, but you weren't able to get that third guy, but song only five. Scene only two. McGee zero. That's that was big. Not one three. And we said it. It's just like he's got hot in the last game where he hit like four or five and it's like just you hit just one or two, maybe. And now he was a big O for three. O for two from the line from three point line. Martin Somerville did have six. Five for Besong. Two for Steam, but that's it. You were a two-man show with a little bit of chancey. And it wasn't enough. Not enough depth,

9:29not enough, but a lot of heart futures bright. You need to get more guys that can rebound and make shots. But man, this team was fun to watch and I really wanted to see them pull off that upset. Because this is a tournament that they could have won. You knock out Duke. I mean, you got North Carolina, short-handed or Clemson team that you dominated just recently. And then you play either Virginia or Miami in a game where you get revenge on teams that just barely beat you recently. So it would have been in battle, but it definitely could have happened. And that's why it's going to hurt so much for this team because they know they could have done it. I love the turnaround that Luke's Luke Laux had in his first year in the future's bright. But man, you got to take it to the hole, Robert. Come on, man.

10:33We had to go. Our rod was here. We got a shuttle. Well, we got to get on out of here. Our shuttle's here. 18 and 15 for the goals for the finish of the year. We got to get on a team probably coming up. Go win that thing, you know. They were having a fun time. You could feel the energy of the team. They believed they could win, and they just came up one point short. Miami snuck past Louisville, Virginia. I was able to get pass in, so he saved up me and it was semi-final. Duke will play the winner of North Carolina in Clemson. And that's

11:38her study. We're going to see what the NCAA tournament has to offer when the selection Sunday is coming up Sunday. But I'm actually more interested in the Academy Awards. Big loss for the North. But man, I had a fun time watching this team. The future's bright for the North. Get up, Tallahassee, and get to the tuck. I'm waiting. I can't wait for next year. I'm looking forward to next year's basketball season. More than next year's football season. Not even close. But man, I wanted that one tonight, and they could it. They almost had it. I can't imagine if that shot goes in. Well, I just hope forward

12:50does the winner next championship, which they probably will. Because I mean, I don't think anybody's going to be. They probably like the best team right now. And it matters. You got to be able to offensive rebound. You got to get big prize. That's going to be the goal for Florida's state next year. Prove the talent level on the rebound inside of the ball. And then we'll watch it, and we'll react to it. And we'll talk to you next time. Right here. I'm in North Florida's sports network. You got to give us a shot. You know what? We had to go. Our rod was here. We got to
