1. VCU made 10-19 (53%) 3s to stay in the game, with Melvin Johnson tying his career high with eight. One difficult thing for fans to grasp is that teams have little control over how accurate the opposition is from the 3-pt line (this statement is grossly simplifying the data, but is still accurate). Not only is there a tremendous amount of randomness in 3-pt shooting, but, unlike shots around the rim, the 3-pointer is almost always lightly or undefended. One thing teams can control is how many threes their opponent attempts.
Inside the box score: Florida State 76, VCU 71
