FSU won the 3-point lottery. Virginia Tech made five of their first eight 3-point attempts to take an early double-digit lead in the first half. For the rest of the game they made 3-19 (16%). If you watch the film you’ll see that nearly all of those 19 attempts were either uncontested or lightly contested. That’s not a knock on FSU, that’s just how 3-pointers work. Great 3-point defense is not allowing an attempt. The most contested of those 19 was one by Ahmed Hill with 14 seconds left in regulation, where he had David Nichols in his grill but knocked it down anyway.
