4. Syracuse is 7-2 all-time vs FSU in this rivalry, what is the gameplan to combat the 2-3 zone on Saturday?

A: Well, the zone is probably the way to go against this ‘Noles team. If they’re on shooting they’re on and they were on almost the entire season until they played Miami and had their poorest outing shooting in some time. They shot so badly but crushed Miami on the offensive boards and still lost.  Sometimes they fall in love with the three ball too much for my liking. The key to the ‘Noles in this game will patience with good ball movement while taking good shots. Crash the boards and make free throws when at the charity stripe (they’ve struggled there since forever).
