Vs FSU.

I might very well be missing a key factor or two because I was, admittedly, upset during a lot of this game, but was there a reason the Cards didn't stick with the smaller lineup in the second half?

In the first, with Malik out and Enoch with 2 fouls, the small lineup seemed to do pretty well.

Were we just getting killed on the boards, other foul trouble, or something else?

Probably because we were getting killed inside even with their guards. FSU is just a really bad match up for the Cards especially when Williams isn't available to play.

Florida St coach made adjustments after halftime and got more aggressive. Plus they received some happy whistles, so it became more difficult to keep them from just driving on our shorter players and shooting over them.

Actually Hamilton knew this before halftime but couldn’t get it across to his team. “They (us) are just dribbling around... we need to take advantage of our size and attack the basket more”
