Three Game Winning Streak

FSU basketball came off a long hiatus and obliterated NC State. It was a barrage from the onset, with the Noles shooting 70 percent from the floor overall.

They shot 48 percent from the floor against North Carolina and 50 percent against Louisville.

One of the biggest reasons for that is taking better shots and not forcing three-pointers. During this stretch, only 32 percent of their shots came from beyond-the-arc.

The Noles went 44 of 48 from the free-throw line (91.6 percent) and only had 40 turnovers.

The team was +14 in the rebounding department during this stretch. Defensively, the Noles did a better job of switching on defense and simply not fouling as much.

NC State, North Carolina, and Lousiville only went to the free-throw line 40 times. Central Florida, Gardner Webb, and Clemson went to the free-throw line 77 times.

That’s a 37 percent decrease folks, and a lot of potential points taken off the table.
