Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes . -- Leonard
Hamilton is hoping a change in his offensive system will end Florida States NCAA
Tournament drought.Hamiltons philosophy has been to run a motion offense that
also relies on strong inside play. This season he has ditched that for a more
on-tempo system because the Seminoles have an abundance of perimeter
players.Hamilton, who is going into his 15th season at Florida State,
acknowledges that this has been the biggest changes he has made to a system
between seasons in his 29 years as a college coach.This will fit more of who we
are, Hamilton said. We are not going to be as much of a stand and shoot team. We
are going to be able to play off the move and penetrate. We will be playing more
four outside players and one inside. It will make us more unpredictable and
harder to defend.Florida State was third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in
offense, averaging 78.0 points per game. But it was 13th in defense, allowing 74
points. Both of those set new marks in the Hamilton era.We are going to be
playing even faster this year, said Dwayne Bacon, who led the team in scoring
(15.8 points per game) and rebounding (5.8) last season. Weve got guys that can
run the floor and the big guys can get up and down.Bacon also noted that a huge
part of preseason practices has been defense and that during the first week they
were spending at least two hours per session on defensive-specific drills.The
Seminoles started last season by winning 10 of their first 12 games, but
struggled in Atlantic Coast Conference play as they went 8-10. They made it to
the second round of the NIT to finish 20-14.---Some other things to know about
Florida State this season:IMMEDIATE IMPACT? Jonathan Isaac comes in as one of
the highest-ranked recruits in program history. The 6-foot-9 forward has the
size and body of a forward but the quickness and shooting skills of a perimeter
player. The Seminoles have also added a pair of talented guards in CJ Walker and
Trent Forrest.FRONT LINE DEPTH: Michael Ojo and Phil Cofer are back after being
beset by injuries last season. Ojo, a 7-foot-1 senior center, missed all of last
year due to a knee injury while Cofer, a 6-foot-8 junior forward, played in only
11 games before having ankle surgery.MORE EXPERIENCED BACON: Bacon said that
conference play did wear him down but that he has worked during the offseason on
conditioning along with his perimeter shooting. The 6-foot-7 sophomore guard
struggled last season on shots beyond 15 feet.RATHAN-MAYES BACK ON POINT: Xavier
Rathan-Mayes saw his scoring average drop from 14.9 to 11.8, but if Hamiltons
system lives up to its expectations of having more players creating
opportunities, that should allow the 6-foot-4 junior to have more chances. As a
true point guard last season, Rathan-Mayes was focused more on trying to get the
ball to teammates instead of taking an open shot.TOUGH START TO CONFERENCE PLAY:
Florida State has a favorable non-conference slate, which includes an appearance
in the Preseason NIT tournament, but it will be tested early in conference play.
Five of the Seminoles first seven ACC games are at home, but there is a stretch
from Jan. 10-21 where they face Duke, go to North Carolina and then host Notre
Dame and Louisville.---Online:AP College Basketball:

turned a close game into a rout and proved again it will be a strong World Cup
favourite.

Matt Cooke also scored for Minnesota, which has won five of six. Kuemper made
five saves in the first, nine in the second, and nine in the third. The rookies
best save came with 2:17 left in the third period when he denied former Wild
forward Matt Cullen from just outside of the crease on the right side.

Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we
all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that
something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines
were on to start. OXFORD, Miss. -- Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze made a surprise
choice to protect his teams most valuable asset.Junior Rod Taylor will be the
starter at left tackle when No. 11 Ole Miss plays No. 4 Florida State on Monday
in Orlando, Florida. That means the 6-foot-3, 329-pounder -- who has never made
a start at either tackle spot -- will be charged with protecting quarterback
Chad Kellys blindside against the Seminoles talented defense.If Ole Miss expects
another banner year from Kelly -- who threw for 4,042 yards and running for 500
more during the programs 10-win season a year ago -- Taylor and the rest of the
offensive line will have to keep the quarterback from getting pressured, hit and
sacked.Freeze said he loves the work that Taylor and the rest of the offensive
line has done during preseason camp. Even so, he said its hard to predict how
the relatively inexperienced group will react to one of the best teams in the
country.I like what I see on tape, but give me a couple weeks and we will know
if it is fools gold or not, Freeze said.Taylor is a converted guard, but still
beat out prized freshman recruit Greg Little and a handful of other candidates.
He replaces Laremy Tunsil, a three-year starter who was a first-round NFL draft
pick by the Miami Dolphins.Freeze acknowledges Taylor doesnt have the ideal body
to play left tackle. Hes a little short for the position and doesnt have the
longest arms, but Freeze says Taylors athleticism makes up for it.His
quarterback agrees.Hes been really good, Kelly said. Hes an athletic guy. Hes
got a lot of confidence and hes physical. Playing the left tackle position thats
what you need. As long as hes stays the course, does the right thing and keeps
onn learning hell be good.
Nike Air Max Online Store. Senior center
Robert Conyers -- one of the few veterans up front -- says Taylor should be fine
as long as hes mentally prepared.I think it starts more between your ears,
Conyers said. Being smart and knowing where you can get beat and where you cant
get beat. If you know what youre doing, thats half the battle. Hes got a leg up
on everybody else just because hes more athletic than just about anybody who
plays that position.Taylors emergence was a bit of a surprise considering his
career has been checkered with occasional discipline problems. The latest was
when he was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting during the spring.Senior tight
end Evan Engram said its been rewarding to see Taylor mature during the summer
and is confident he can anchor the left side of the line.If he takes this
seriously, applies himself and puts the work in he can be that pivotal player
who could change the shape of our offensive line and even our team, Engram
said.Florida State will undoubtedly put Taylors maturity to the test early and
often on Monday. The Seminoles have made no secret that disrupting Kellys rhythm
is crucial to their success.Chad Kelly, hes what keeps the factory running over
there, Florida State safety Derwin James said. Hes a big part of what they do.
They feed off him. He can beat you on the run, he can beat you with the
pass.-----AP Sports Writer Joe Reedy in Tallahassee, Florida, contributed to
