Miami (9-4, 0-1 ACC) at Florida State (8-4, 0-0 ACC)
McCants has a dislocated finger, day to day, just for this game. We'll see if that effects his shot much.
TEAM: FSU|MIA
OVR: 89|82
OFF: 88|82
DEF: 89|82
SHT: 89|84
REB: 93|82
COA: 86|86
Our overall roster strength shows gains in OVR rating, offense, and rebounding with our recent development. Miami has been near the bottom of the ACC since I've been here, and really the only thing I can say for them is that they aren't freefalling as badly as UVA. Miami was rated 79 OVR last season so they've improved about as much as us in theory.
They return 4 starters from last year's team and soph center Rex Newman does look like he's developing into a legitmate player.
Scouting
PG Quincy Oneil – JR – 72 OVR – 93 speed/80 quickness. 84 defense/73 steals. C+ hands/C+ passing. 74 close/84 med/74 3/82 off the dribble. Just 3 ppg/3 apg. Decent on ball defense but that's all that stands out, and his quickness is very low.
SG Truman Culc – SO – 69 OVR – 76 defense. 80 close/69 med/65 3. I can't believe they haven't been able to replace this guy yet. Even more, I can't believe he's scoring 10 points/game, hah.
SF Corbin Nevill – SR – 78 OVR – 85 speed/79 quickness. 79 def/75 steals. Fairly solid for a 6'8” natural SF. 84 close/74 med/65 3. Not really good at creating his own shot or maneuvering in traffic. He's an outstanding rebounder... 86/A- for a SF. Just 4 points/game this year though.
PF Pearce Rowland – FR – 75 OVR – 6'6” PF. 80 orb/81 drb. 70 post off/69 post def. 86 close/82 in traffic. 75 blocked shots. Solid athlete, A- vert/B+ str/B- hustle. But he really seems deficient in the post. He still has 8.6 ppg/5.1 rpg. His size and defense has me hoping that Sneed can have a huge day for us.
C Rex Newman – SO – 79 OVR – 90 orb/81 drb. 77 post off/80 post def/84 blocks. 88 close/88 in traffic. Great strength (83/A-). Solid hustle (76/B-) and good hands and steals for a big man. Just 9.2 ppg/5.5 rpg so far this year, I'd expect more since he seems to be turning into their best player by a good long shot. 6'8” btw.
They have a 6'10” backup center, jared bing, rated 77 OVR who averages 12 points/game. And similar to last time we played Miami, they have good big man depth but no guard depth. Must win for us, and something's very wrong if we can't win this one at home. Our team unity is up to 40 now, theirs is 48.

| Heh. They win the jump ball, go inside, draw a shooting foul on McCants. They miss both free throws, get an offensive board, go up again, and MCCants with his 2nd foul. They make both free throws, and I pull McCants after exactly 20 seconds of action.

| Takes a bit longer but we get their center, Newman, down with 2 fouls.

| Backups are in. Their SF Nevill has 7 and is hot early. Culc with a 3 and then a random bucket elsewhere. We have fairly balanced scoring, though I think Moye is still scoreless.

| Backups sucking it up. We've committed 7 total fouls now so they're shooting the rest of the way.

| And just like that Alloway gets a mismatch with a big guy on him for a layup, and Barrett scores twice in transition and we're in the lead.

| I get a timeout to get the starters back in after they go on a 7-2 run. Their 69 rated SG culc has 9 while Nevill has 10 now.

| And we score 6 of the next 8 to go back ahead. I haven't looked at the numbers but I have the sense that free throws are really hurting us. Ozier just went 0-2 after drawing a foul going to the rim. I am guessing we've missed 5 or 6 free throws so far this half.

| Moye hits a 3 on our last possession and we take a 4 point lead to the locker room. Miami is shooting a lot of 3 pointers, they're only 4/12 though.
WOW, yeah. I mentioned free throws... we've drawn 10 fouls, almost all shooting fouls. We're 8-18 at the line. Forte 4-8, Moye 1-4, Ozier 0-2... those are free throws, not 3's or anything hard, ugh! We have an edge on the boards and in the turnover battle and have taken as many FG's as them despite all the extra free throws (they're 5-9 at the line).
Miami has 12 from SF Nevill, 7 from SG Culc. We get 8 from Moye, 7 from Sanders(playing while McCants was out with foul trouble). Forte 6, Ozier/sneed 4 each. McCants will start the 2nd half.

| Well then. Moye hits a 3, we force a turnover in the backcourt, Moye with a layup. They throw an errant pass, Forte feeds McCants for a big dunk and he's fouled. FT is good. We score 8 before Miami even sets up to run a play on their end.

| Moye has just taken over the game. He scored the final 5 points of the half for us to get to 8 points, and he has 11 of our 14 second half points... he's at 19, very explosive.

| McCants with a reach and foul #3. We'll leave him in for now, Sanders and Delic can cover if he gets in bad foul trouble. Moye with 21 now. They put a SF on him last time down, easy burn and layup.

At the 8:30 mark we hit a 25 point lead and I sim the rest of the game.
