We are still too early in the season for them to be hitting the "wall" and Florida State just isn't a better team. I think a close game would actually be beneficial for this team, but I don't know if it will be.
Another national "stage" for Sullinger and I think he plays really well. And I think Thomas is ready to play in a big game, so it will be interesting to see how he responds.
No, Fla St is not better. But if they are anywhere near as athletic as they were last year, they can cause problems. Last year they were BIG and athletic. Singleton is also a very good player they have. Now, I don't think Hamilton is worth a crap as a coach and they completely lack discipline. But if OSU doesn't come out aggressive, and doesnt' rebound...Fla St could hang in there.
The only thing holding Thomas back right now is his defense. He really is BAD defensively. He jumps at every shot attempt, even on the perimeter. He still lacks that defensive discipline. Offensively..he quite honestly could be the best player on OSU. He can do it from outside, post up and drive. He has complete offensive game. He is just a flat out scorer. But has A LOT of work to do defensively. But he'll get there eventually.
