Everything Noles: For Florida State Seminoles Fans

It's always fun to beat Syracuse. Jim Boeheim was his usual jovial self in the post-game. Coach Hamilton remained tight-lipped about why Devin Vassell didn't play. And MJ Walker had a fat lip. Good game! We break down how Florida State was able to pull the win despite missing their leading scorer. We range over a bunch of topics including offensive rebounding, turnovers, 3-point defense, and high...

The Orange are coming to town, with or without their best player Elijah Hughes. The junior hurt himself in warmups on Tuesday, and will likely be a gametime decision. Coach Boeheim can be as tight lipped about injuries as Leonard Hamilton, so unless Hughes doesn't travel with the team I am guessing that this is all we are going to hear. In his absence, Syracuse lost a close game at NC State. Boehe...

Well, that was no fun. We start with the elephant in the room - the refs - so feel to skip over if you want to get to what went well and what didn't (and no, we're not blaming the refs for the loss). Trent Forrest had a game which was easily one of the handful of best games of his impressive career. He passed Bob Sura on the career steals list and is now 3rd all time. He forced five turnovers agai...

After watching Florida State drop 99 on Miami, Matt and Michael get together to discuss how good the team played, which pretty much encapsulated the entire roster. The first half defense was terrible, but Coach Hamilton was able to make a nice adjustment to which Miami had no answer. Always a fun rivalry game when it ends with the Green Vipers making it rain. During the Miami game, the NCAA releas...

Road wins are important currency on NCAA Tournament resumes, and Florida State picked up a nice one at Virginia Tech on Saturday. On the podcast we break down what went well - aside from the obvious ‘Devin Vassell goes bananas’ - and what caused a bit of alarm. We also dive in to the radio broadcast which is pushing the narrative that FSU is struggling down the stretch in games, and why that might...

As the buzzer sounded in Virginia, Matt and Michael got together to discuss what went well and what didn't in the disappointing 61-56 loss to Virginia. After discussing the game they talk about general ineptitude of refs surrounding the block/charge call, and how it is the lowest of the low hanging fruit for the NCAA to improve college hoops for the fans. Will they do it? Haha yeah, right. They mo...

The boys got together to talk about the upcoming Notre Dame game, which has the No. 5 FSU Seminoles playing in prime time in front of a sold out crowd. The Irish are one of the best teams in the nation at taking care of the ball, so we dive into how that could affect the game. The Irish also take and make a ton of 3-pointers. Prior to that discussion, Matt and Michael talk about FSU's new shiny to...

Take the win and go home. After a stressful 83-79 OT win, the Seminoles are now 16-2 (6-1) and tied atop the ACC. Matt and Michael got together post game to talk about what went well and what didn't. Devin Vassell, MJ Walker, and Anthony Polite got a lot of love, while FSU's clunky offensive performance and Coach Hamilton's management of the rotation took some shots. But the end result was that FS...

Matt’s on the road. Michael is sick. Clemson is beating Duke. But we don’t let these things distract us. The No. 9 Florida State basketball team is getting ready to host the defending national champion Virginia Cavaliers, and we’ve got everything you need to know about the game. We break down Virginia’s famous pack line defense - what it is, and how to attack it. Their defense isn’t just legit, it...

For episode seven of the Tomahawk Nation podcast, we started by breaking down the win at Wake Forest. After the Louisville game several things became clear that could keep Florida State’s season headed in the right direction, and we discuss which of those things the Seminoles did well vs. the Demon Deacons. Next up the co-hosts each drafted their All-Decade teams. Matt was generous enough to give...

After taking a break to enjoy the holidays Matt and Michael jumped back into the studio to talk some basketball. You may not have noticed but Florida State is pretty good, and we took a few minutes to break down what happened in Louisville. No, FSU isn’t going to make 11 3s every game, but there are some great takeaways that the team can build on. Plus there is a game tomorrow night in Winston-Sal...

Christmas eve is one of the only days during the season when there are no college basketball games to watch. So Michael and Matt got together to talk FSU's best lineup as well as who from the current roster will be playing in the NBA. Plus they hand out plenty of holiday gifts, debate the merits of ham (the food, not the coach), and drink a little whiskey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit m...

The latest episode of the Tomahawk Nation podcast has Matt and Michael breaking down FSU's 66-60 comeback win against the South Florida Bulls in the Orange Bowl Classic. Matt had predicted a 65-59 win, so the two discuss how this game fit the mold of what he was expecting. They go in depth on USF's 11-0 2nd half run which included a technical foul assessed against Coach Hamilton. And they talk abo...

Matt and Michael break down the predictable almost-blowout of North Florida, before launching into an analysis of Trent Forrest's year to date.

The episode wraps up with a look ahead to this weekend's neutral site game vs. South Florida...
