florida leading nc state 41-40.lli and our lexus playbook. >> larry: feeding the post. let's look at macklin being fed off the post. walker, right here, watch him make the dribble across to here. but more importantly, watch the move by macklin to get right in there to receive the pass. this is really well done. the cut, the bounce pass, the turn, and the jump hook. well done. not only on the feed, but the finish. >> bob: nc state with the basketball after the time-out. nc state patiently attacking the zone. gonzalez. wood. howell, a three. >> larry: interesting donovan out of that time-out went right to the zone. trying a different look. >> bob: werner has not looked for his outside shot in this game. florida state without a three-pointer. 0 for 13. here's macklin in the paint. jump hook, short. and degand. back in for the pack with smith, howell and wood. under ten to play. >> larry: florida will stay in that two-three zone. trying to go side-to-side, but the corner to degand, and the pack commits it 12th turnover.

and we get a foul on florida state. and this one is on ryan reid, his first. >> larry: all the times i've seen jeff allen play, this is my opinion about him. i think he loves to challenge bigger players. i mean he's really an undersized guy, playing inside. but he sees somebody 6'8", 6'9", all the way up to 7'1", i think he relishes going in there and battling these guys. >> bob: you look at his pedigree, to hargrave, he's gone up against the best in his particular age group. and now a tough challenge each and every night in the acc. >> larry: and the fact that there's so many bigs in the acc this year, he's better in rebounding in the atlantic coast conference. >> bob: delaney backs it out. to the corner, and this will hit the glass from hudson. 3-2, florida state. dulkys, nice-looking stroke. >> larry: one of the things about shooters you've got to recognize is when they catch the ball, they square the shoulders in the feet immediately. he did that and it was a great follow-through and a good result. >> bob: dulkys dr

florida state, 16 of 22 at the line. they've gained seven points on virginia tech in that department. the hokies, 9 of 19. a ten-point game with 2:30 left. no time to waste for virginia tech. delaney goes right to the rack and gets fouled. alabi's fourth. >> larry: i continue to be amazed that the 6'3" guard would go in and challenge a 7'1" guy, a 6'9" guy, he won't be denied. he pushed out a little with the left arm as he was going up. the other league, it goes the other way. >> bob: malcolm delaney, the junior from baltimore. earlier became the hokies' 40th all-time 1,000-point scorer. jeff allen has joined in that regard this season. 19 points as jt thompson comes back, and allen sits. >> larry: bob, after virginia tech had cut the lead of florida state to 44-42, they are 1 of 7 from the field. >> bob: wow. >> larry: here comes the full-court pressure. >> bob: gets it to snaer, middle to kitchen. and the lob-up is good. >> larry: pretty play. you could see that coming. kitchen says, i've got my big man on the baseline
