I'd like to see the winner of this game knock off the Irish on Sunday. I think Florida State has the better shot at doing just that. Just like Georgetown with Chris Wright, the big questions for FSU is whether or not F Chris Singleton will return.
You know what I've never seen? I've never seen a team go 7:15 without scoring a point to start a game. I had never seen it before Texas A&M did just that today. This is going to be the quickest game of the tournament.
So the bad news is that A&M is in a scoring drought. The good news is that so is FSU. I mean it's 7-2 Seminoles at the under 12 minute media timeout. That's insane.
A bunch of us were actually ignoring the game being played in front of us to watch the end of the Mason - Villanova game. Talk about your epic collapses. Jay Wright's boys lost 6 straight and 11 of their final 16 to end the season. DePaul took them to overtime. DEPAUL.
Ok back to the game in front of me.
We are at the under 8 minute TV timeout and its all knotted up at 12. A&M is on a 9-0 scoring run. FSU coach Leonard Hamilton has used 10 players so far but none of them wear a headband and by the name of Singleton.
And here comes Singleton right on cue. Nice ovation from the Seminole faithful behind me and to the left.
Singleton hasn't played in awhile and is making up for lost time on fouls. He picked up 3 in limited minutes. He doesn't have his sea legs yet.
Both teams are shooting under 30% from the field. FSU can't make a three pointer and A&M are struggling from the line. A lot of this is good defense but not all of it. Some of it is really bad offense.
We have mercifully reached the halfway point in this slug fest.
A&M 26
FSU 23
That's not a bad output from the Aggies considering they did all of their scoring in a little less than 13 minutes.
