"How did you hold Florida State, who plays 12 deep, to one of their lowest totals of the year? “Look we are a good team; they are a good team. You got two of the better teams in the nation playing each other. They came away with the win, credit to them. Outstanding atmosphere. Outstanding basketball game. I’m a big fan of Florida State.” –Mike Hughes from 247 Sports"

If you go back and look at the final team stats from the game, it’s really a shame that the Cardinals couldn’t find a way to come out with a win. Florida State missed 11 free throws and only hit four threes in the game. That was not a typical performance for the red-hot Seminoles.

Not to mention, FSU actually had a worse field goal percentage than the Cards on Saturday afternoon.

There are so many positive takeaways from this game, with the exception that it was actually a loss. Things never feel the same after getting beat, but trust me, Louisville will get better because of this road-loss to the Seminoles.
