As the game progressed, the players felt like they could win and gave great effort, until they just wore down. FSU mounted a great comeback, and the Hokies didn't have enough left to respond. A doctor told me years ago that stress is cumulative, and I just wonder if the stress of the close games over the last few years doesn't wear on Seth, staff, and players.
I think it was a smartly-coached game. Two free throws (out of God knows how many chances) and SG looks like a genius. He put us in a position to win... he's mixing in the zone at opportune times. BC another good example of this.

FSU this year is where we'll be in 3 years. They are strong on D and physical. I think we'll actually be a bit better on offense as our shooters come into their own.
