Florida State vs. Virginia Tech Game Highlights | 2023-24 ACC Men’s Basketball

Adulla picks up his dribble at the elbow the length of Florida State can be a problem he finds an outlet in Robbie Baron he can’t hit it bounces to Couture he bad situations and for Hunter Couture to give himself an easy one that’s key again the tough ball he goes down on

That elbow then hits a good three on a second chance opportunity that’s a good side Watkins Fades away yes tough that just sat down on the bench with his second foul Couture kicks one to the corner nichel hits from the perimeter knocks down a Triple t thought about a three Rex Steiner tries it instead and parries it some might say that was a travel and I would agree jayon warley bullets a pass inside the bomp plus the foul the the difference here is length right length takes that pass opport away you don’t even think about

It because you have hand ly kid was in Clemson as a freshman he barely played but he has blossomed here at Virginia Tech 16 games in double figures this year jir Watkins plus the foul and I felt like in first I thought this was pretty good defense still think it was pretty good

And where can you go too low and create a dangerous play where it should be a foul to me I think you got to give consideration to the fact ball don’t lie I guess um give consideration of the fact that there’s upper body contact in the back

So what’s going to happen you’re going to get kind of B over it you’re going to push back and the finish hanging from the rim you allow if you’re L kid you’re just up there’s no real help there’s no heads you’re not denying that you’re not

Taking that away in any there a reason why he had two assists and four [Applause] turnovers coren finds the cutter and the floater is there for Chandler Jackson really can’t fall asleep on the opposite side C man C Ball there are principles that are Timeless right there are so

Many simple principles C man c c basketball is one of them same thing kind of happens nowadays on the offensive end C man see ball why cuz everything’s reading reacta try to pocket pass it becomes a turnover Spears the other way gives it up for the flush by

Corin I don’t know what kind of scout team these guys have here in Virginia Tech but there is just no way you can simulate what Florida state does so well pass now Virginia Tech has to hustle padulla from the elbow [Applause] connects size on the floor right now

From Spears off the feet from Miller lost it on the way up padulla out to the wing Couture for three yes to what a defense is doing you’re adjusting to the way the game’s played the length the disruptive nature of everything the intensity and the more from the corner it’s Spears rainbow

Three he buries it three-point pass by 23 way he looked back at the bench the Virginia Tech bench I’m sure something was said like non threat or something like that that’s what we would say k [Applause] anwers spear splits the defense cruises in for two no we need a dead ball so we can see that again here comes oua quickly out to the wing young for three no good the tip follow won’t go and we are dead locked at 39 at half time this

Is wild the way he just splits through I mean that’s not easy to do there’s not a lot of room there padulla right to the basket throws one up and the finish another run down by Lin kid Jo feel like asking Watkins to be wise takes a little something out

Of it nichel line drive three off off the Feet Again from padulla Nichol you got to be aware of in transition particularly when he runs flat to the corners that really messes with your transition defensive uh principles really wow really yes exactly what Bob Miller kick out and you get

Open threes and just as you drew it up your biggest here at Virginia Tech their first black scholarship basketball player back in the game jir Watkins lose a lot friends he’ll make some yes Watkins dumps one down low for an easy flush by Court defense reading defense who’s

Picking me up well it’s going to be kid who’s going to be open it’s [Applause] [Applause] the Corin throws it down again what once was an eight-point Virginia Tech lead is down to one padulla tries to stretch it ow does with a deep three you trust Hunter Couture with the ball too I I also like when they cover him with a big use him as a

Point he’ll try a three [Applause] yes nichel throws it down right out of the double just tag he gave a little look away it and a little mock chant from the student section as they’re doing the tomahawk chop as the clock winds down for Florida State there’s a [Applause]

Three Watkins from the corner it’s another three this a good performance by Virginia Tech I give him a lot of credit this is a tough match up for Virginia Tech they ran great stuff on the offensive end got good looks nickel was terrific Hunter Couture was tough and Terrific
