When I look at this game, the Noles have more ways to win than Michigan.
The more I dissect, the more I think it’s the Nole’s need to worry about themselves instead of what Michigan brings to the table.
We’ve seen FSU win in a lot of different ways. We saw them obliterate opponents several times this year, and we saw them win with defense when the offense wasn’t clicking. Heck, we’ve seen them win without making one three-pointer the entire game. We’ve seen play poorly on offense and still shoot well over 50 percent from the floor.
Can Michigan do all those things? I’m not sure, but in their four losses, three things that consistently haunt them.
