[NU Sports] FSU

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I went to bed after the first half.  The sorry display of bricksmanship
from the line and the field suggested a different outcome.  Sorry I
missed the strong comeback. 

What I did like from the first half was the scrappy D.

That said, we have a clear athletic deficit.  Sounds like we were able
to play our pressing match-up zone the whole game.  Teams that can force
us to play man with a better outside game are going to abuse our guys
one on one.  At least we are no longer so weak in the middle that teams
can just throw the ball into their big guy for an easy score.

We're clearly not a real athletic team and had big troubles getting
shots off in the first half--they were stuffing shots before they even
left fingertips. That's going to be a problem against a lot of teams I
fear.

I missed parts of the second half, but from what I did see, NU came back
with a nice team effort, and played more to their strengths. The
benefits of having some size for a change was obvious in the rebounding
totals. 

The team certainly gave a lot of effort, and has some guys who can
shoot. That combination can take you a ways. 

Should be an interesting year. I'm not ready to say it will be a
successful year after just watching one game, but I am intrigued to see
what these guys will do.

Tom
