Toney Douglas at-
tempted a game-tying trip. The shot bounced
off the iron and Brian Zoubek tipped out the re-
bound. Gerald Henderson raced to the loose
ball and took it all the way for a bucket and
foul. G converted the three-point play from the
charity stripe to give us the 82-76 lead.
NOLES ON CAMERON...
“I told them, ‘You think our place is
loud, but it doesn’t compare to Duke.’
Because their place is much, much
smaller. You’ve got guys taking the ball out and you’ve got
(Crazies) almost touching you.”
Florida State’s Ryan Reid
“Everyone’s heard stories about it. The seniors tell stories
about it all the time. You can’t let it get in your head, but it’s
definitely a great basketball environment. He was telling me
yesterday that we’ve got to go over hand signals for plays,
because you’re not going to be able to hear yourself talk. So
there’s no use even trying. It’s so loud you can’t hear. The
floor is rattling. But it will be exciting though.”
Florida State’s Luke Loucks
