On the day after, FSU remains in shock.

By David Whitley

NASHVILLE, TN - Sleep was hard to come by Thursday night at the Doubletree Hotel. After months of anticipation, Florida State's big NCAA dreams had suddenly gone poof!

Losing by one point to Middle Tennessee State would have been surprising enough. Blowing a 17-point lead and losing 97-83 was hard to believe. But getting outscored 21-0 over the final five minutes was downright baffling.

"Nobody knows what happened," said Brad Johnson. "I think when we're 35 years old, we still won't know. It's just one of those things you can't explain."

Some of the Seminoles sat around their hotel rooms until dawn was near, trying to figure out their NCAA disaster. Pat Kennedy was up until 5 a.m. replaying the tape of the game's final 10 minutes.

"I knew what happened the first 30," said Kennedy, who probably didn't have the best St. Patrick's Day on Friday.

The game's first 30 minutes were a thing of basketball beauty for FSU. After that, the tape turned into a horror film.

"That last seven minutes we played as bad as a team can play," said George McCloud.

After building a 67-50 lead with 16 minutes left, the Seminoles went into a full-collapse mode nobody knew they had. About the same time, an obscure freshman reserve started doing a pretty good impression of Larry Bird on a roll.

Mike Buck, a 6-5 guard, came into the game averaging 5.6 points and making 33 percent of his 3-pointers.

"I'm very sure that Florida State didn't know who I was," said Buck. "But they'll remember me, I guess."

He guesses? After he went 6 for 6 from 3-point range, including five in the final 10-minute Blue Raider explosion, The Seminoles will probably never get Buck out of their minds.

"He was just unconscious. We had hands in his face and he had no second thought about shooting." Said Johnson. "We were aware of him before the game. But he was so hot, we just couldn't stop him."

Buck's performance defied explanation. His career high coming into the game was 15 points against Austin Peay. With him beyond FSU's control, the Blue Raiders scored on 12 straight trips.

Each basket pumped more life into the large Middle Tennessee State crowd and put more pressure on the Seminoles, who didn't seem to believe what was happening to them.

They had flirted with death often this season against more fearsome teams than the 23-7 Blue Raiders. More often than not, they had survived thanks to McCloud's dominating presence.

"They got overconfident. They thought they could score at will," said Kennedy. "When we got off to a great start, they started feeling like they were invincible."

The great start included 19 first-half points by forward Tony Dawson and 12 from McCloud. FSU abandoned its patient offense and stopped getting the ball inside to its point-machine forward in the second half.

McCloud was content to run the offense and not look for shots at the start of the second half. When things started falling apart, he couldn't carry his team one last time. The senior was 0 for 7 in the second half. That may not be fair, but he's saved FSU so often that people expect him to do it every time despite being frequently double-teamed. He couldn't do it Thursday night.

Kennedy said FSU's lack of depth caught up with it. The pumped-up Blue Raiders bounced down the stretch while the tiring Seminoles struggled to keep up.

"A lot of it's emotional, not just physical," said Kennedy, who is now 0-4 in NCAA games. "Being up 17, we might have celebrated too early."

In their late-night post mortem, McCloud, Tat Hunter and Tharon Mayes concluded that desire may have been more of a problem than fatigue.

"We didn't feel we played as hard as we should have," said McCloud. "We didn't play with reckless abandon, and we let them dictate the tempo of the game. That just showed their guys wanted it a little bit more than our guys did."

What could FSU have done differently? Kennedy said he might have called for a delay game with about five minutes left and FSU holding an 83-76 lead. That would have allowed the Seminoles to catch their breath a bit and might have slowed down the onrushing Blue Raiders.

"But that's total hindsight," said Kennedy. "Who would have thought we wouldn't score in the last five minutes of the game?"

FSU tried to regroup during three timeouts. It set up plays that either resulted in misses or turnovers. Then Buck would rush downcourt and make the Seminoles pay.

They went from having complete control to having no control.

"It was sort of like we were concentrating on getting ready to play the next game," said Johnson. "And the next thing you know, we were making plans to go back to Tallahassee."

"We weren't ready to go home," said McCloud. "It's going to be tough having to watch the rest of the NCAA tournamentN,N/N
