Discouraging, no demoralizing, terrible start. Proof of life needed.
Florida State jumping out to a 9-0 lead, widening the margin to 17 points, near the end of the first half. Visions of the University of Louisville basketball program spiraling into oblivion.
But wait. Five minutes into the second half. Some vital signs emerging, the patient stirring, still breathing, coming out of the coma. Deng Adel scoring six straight points to cut the deficit to eight points. Does one dare imagine a comeback with this team?
