Butler Holding Tight
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- This has been a pretty ugly game, especially from the Florida State perspective, but the 'Noles are still hanging around. It's 63-56 at the last timeout. The teams have combined for 28 turnovers, and FSU has 17 of them, but when the teams hold on to the ball, they do reasonably well. Butler is still shooting 50 percent and FSU is at 46 percent. If the 'Noles can manage to get through the rest of this game without turning the ball over, they have a chance.
I spent a little time chatting with David Booth, a scout for the Memphis Grizzlies and former DePaul star. He's sitting next to me on the press row. As I said in an earlier post, he's not seeing much in terms of NBA prospects here, with the possible exception of Graves, who just buried another three.
With 2:20 left, it's Butler by four.
