FSU plays at No. 18 tempo in the country, with avg offensive possession length ranking of No. 12. Very, very fast, and it takes the fifth-most 3-pointers in the country, too, at 33 per game. Ridiculous stat. It only shoots 31.1% from deep (No. 316), but it's the sheer volume. Noles have played a lot of teams really tough — Duke, Wake, SMU, UVa. Beat Miami on the road. Doing those things and taking care of the ball are huge. They force a lot of turnovers. VT is familiar with FSU's best player, Robert McCray. Was the leading scorer on that Jacksonville team that beat the Hokies in Cassell last season. Had 17, 8 and 4 that day. He's been a terrific distributor this year with the Noles with an assist rate of 45.1%, No. 4 in D-I.
