4. Of course one of the ways to beat the patented 2-3 zone is with three point shooting, how capable is FSU from beyond the arc? Who are the guys SU will have to look out for?

"As I mentioned, FSU hasn’t shot it well from beyond the arc and that’s a huge concern going up against Cuse’s zone. They are shooting 33 percent as a team from long-range. Phil Cofer (44.1 percent), Terrance Mann (41 percent) and MJ Walker (37 percent) are capable shooters. Kabengele doesn’t shoot many three’s but he makes them at a 33 percent clip. David Nichols comes off the bench and is shooting 36 percent from long-range. If I were Leonard Hamilton I’d have a rule in this game that unless you are Cofer, Mann, Walker or Kabengele you’re not shooting a three pointer unless you’re Nichols and wide open."
