The Tar Heels will be playing in the Charlotte bowl for the fifth time and under the fourth different named sponsor. The Tar Heels have also played South Carolina in the stadium on two occasions, opening the and seasons against the Gamecocks and splitting the two games. At the start of the season, the Heels had their sites set higher than ending the year in their second home in Charlotte.
The Tar Heels got some good news when Howell announced that he would play in the bowl game. South Carolina is making its second trip to the bowl game in Charlotte and looking to score its first points. AJ Wilson will spend a lot of time at the 4, and brings great energy and hustle, averaging almost twice as many offensive rebounds as he does defensive. FSU will have to step out on him and Couisnard. Devin Carter is just a body, but his shooting splits are abysmal so far this season at Stats For: Stats Against: I think I'm over the disgusting offensive performance that was that Syracuse game.
It physically hurts going back and watching that film and watching shot after shot after shot clank off the rim. With over a week off from games, I'm sure there were plenty of late nights on the gun self-rebounding machine that gets the ball and feeds it back out , lots of shooting drills in practice, and some mechanics tweaks to get guys right. The good news is it's still early in the season. Guys will continue to progress and develop, and hopefully some guys will get out of their shooting slumps.
A lot of guys always love to go to their home states and put up big games in front of friends and family. Sometimes they also put a little too much pressure on themselves, and it can cost them, so I'm looking forward to seeing what Butler can do in this one. Another thing Florida State has to get better at is forcing committed fouls from the other team. I get this hasn't shown much from the free throw line this season, but they need any points they can get.
They're just really struggling to draw fouls, with teams only committing about That means they're barely getting to the 1-and-1 bonus each half. They're just really not being aggressive enough in attacking and getting two feet in the paint.
Jermaine Couisnard has been battling an ankle injury, but it sounds like he's going to try and play Sunday against FSU. South Carolina is top in pace of play this season, so they want to get out and run. I think they're one of those teams where if you can slow them down, shut off the early quick hitters in sets, and force them to work for shots, it'll be a long game.
