Cleveland State (3-3) vs. Florida St.(3-4)
Wednesday, December 19, 2001 FSU Civic Center, Talahassee, FL Tip-off - 7:05 p.m. 2000 - CSU, 87-85 (2OT) |
Breakdown:
|
|
Florida State: G Delvon Arrington (Sr., 5-11, Hillside,
NJ) , G Monte Cummings (Sr., 6-4, Quincey FL), F Antwuan Dixon (Sr., 6-5,
Marietta, GA), F Michael Joiner (So., 6-7, Fayetteville, NC), C Nigel Dixon
(Jr., 6-10, Orlando, FL)
Cleveland State: G Jamaal Harris (Sr., 6-1, Cleveland Hts., Ohio), G Jermaine Robinson (So., 6-2, Philadelphia, PA), F Theo Dixon (Sr., 6-6, Cleveland Hts., Ohio), F Andre Williams (Jr., 6-5, Clayton, NJ), F Tahric Gosley (Jr., 6-8, Philadelphia, PA) |

Harris and Robinson rattled off 44 points, accounting for more than
half of CSU's scoring against Akron. But Arrington and Cummings have something
for the Vikes, much like Cummings did with 18 pts. off the bench last year.
Harris is on a hot streak, though, and he's looking for some more action.
Advantage: Vikings |
|
|
While Williams had a break-out game against Akron, with 13 points and
12 boards, Theo Dixon was ice cold shooting. Antwuan Dixon and Joiner lit
Kevin Ross up last year, with A. Dixon dropping in a game-high 22 points.
Williams isn't the defensive player Ross was quite yet, and this will hurt
them. If Theo gets his stroke back, though, all bets are off.
Advantage: Even |
|
|
Last year, Mike Mathews came in for the start and put 11 points on
the board for Florida State. This time around, the Seminoles will be relying
on their really big guy, the 6-10, 310-pound Nigel Dixon. Gosley was not
a factor in the Akron games, and things only look worse for him as he gives
up five inches and a half a ton to Dixon.
Advantage: Seminoles |
|
|
Last year, the Vikings played only eight men in the grueling double-OT
win last year. This time around, they have a bit more depth. Walt Chavis,
John Rabb and Percell Coles will take on the brunt of the bench duties.
But Florida State was merciless off the bench last season, and they reloaded
in the off-season.
Advantage: Seminoles |
|
|
Both Florida State's Steve Robinson and Rollie brought teams in with
high expectations. But Robinson is coming into the game on the heels of
a 20-point thrashing at the hands of No. 20 Wake Forest. Robinson will
use more of his bench, while Rollie will run the same eight guys out he
always does.
Advantage: Seminoles |
|
|
Seminoles, 70-60. Florida State is looking for some blood after Wake Forest. And the erratic Vikes are the perfect target for them. |
