WBB host Florida State Feb 12

The #11 Ladies host #19 Florida State today at 2 PM. The game is on the ACC Network. The Hokies are favored by 4 points with over/under of 142. Both teams have 9-4 records in ACC play and are currently tied for third. The winner will either be tied for third or in third alone depending on how Miami-Duke and Louisville-Clemson play out.

Kitley will be the tallest player on the court by 3 or 4 inches all night. In fact FSU is a relatively short team with two starters at 5'7 and 5'8 and a third at only 6'. However they still average 3 more rebounds per game than their opponents.

FSU is not a great shooting team from three only shooting 33% on the season; but Valenzuela is shooting 55% on 35 of 60 shots in 18 minutes per game. The Hokies will have to pay attention on the perimeter when she is playing. Ta'Niya Latson is their scoring leaser at 22.7 ppg as a freshman. At only 5'8", I hope the Hokies can keep pressure on her and limit her scoring today.

I'm running late and the game is about to start.

Another key might be fouls depending on how the clown show the ACC uses for a referee pool calls the game. Five different FSU players have fouled out of a total of 8 games this season. Three of the starters average between 2 and 3 fouls per game.

LET'S GO HOKIES!
