Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4579949, member: 6620"] Well, two of the three ACC teams that had injuries to their leading scorers are out in the first round: [LIST] [*]FSU went down to Georgia without Ms. Latson. [*]NC State, who besides not having Diamond Johnson, apparently only had 8 active players for their match against Princeton. [/LIST] The Wolfpack had an 8-pt. lead but shot blanks the last 5+ minutes. Grace Stone sealed the deal for the Tigers with a 3 with 7 seconds remaining. Saniya Rivers had a decent all-round game filling in for Johnson, but the Wolfpack missed Diamond's ability to "go off" for a streak. I'll be very intrigued to see the ND-MSU game. It's only the second time these programs have ever played. Completely different sets of players and head coaches, but Niele and Coach Owens were both there. I'm actually a bit concerned about this because MSU has a lot of pesky, fast guards and HC Sam Purcell is a Jeff Walz disciple. Will expect you'll see a lot of guard ball pressure on Sunday, a la Louisville's strategy in the ACC Tourney. On the other hand, can't see MSU hitting nearly 60% of their three's again: ND has very, tall rangy guards who will get in your face. [/QUOTE]
