Taking FLORIDA STATE tonight. Had the Zags in a miracle cover and FSU was a game that I liked, but didn't have a real strong opinion on. X had been in some close games and pulled the rabbit out of the hat many times, so I thought the Noles could pull it out. So here we are in the Sweet 16. This Zags team isn't 1999-2001. Where they were double digit seeds getting to 3 straight Sweet 16s and an Elite Eight. As a 1-4 seed, they have gotten past the Sweet 16 exactly twice - last years National Championship Game and Elite 8 in 2015. 7 previous times a 1-4 seed. Eliminated 3 times in the 2nd Round (1,2,3 seeds) Twice in this round (3,4 seed) , Elite 8 as a 8 in 2015, and last year 1 seed NC Game. What I see is a team that is more hunter than hunted. Noles role 10 deep and have guys who have size and can crash the glass. That is normally a big edge to the Zags. But I think they way that FSU stormed back, it shows the type of overall team this is. With no one true star, it is a true, blue-collar, grind it out team. That being said. I think this should be a back and forth type game. Getting enough points here that even if the Zags leads balloons to 10, the back-door is open enough for us to squeeze in. 4* Money Maker FLORIDA STATE
