He led the team in reb. and blocks so is defensive presence they&#x27;ll miss him especially with the size of the Noles in the front court.

The redshirt junior fell and twisted his left&#xD;&#xA; ankle during practice Thursday, and was seen wearing a boot on his left&#xD;&#xA; foot Saturday afternoon.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;"I don&#x27;t know how effective he&#x27;s going to be," Pitino said. "If he can&#x27;t play full minutes, can he give us 10 to 15 minutes?"&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;Elliason averages about 22 minutes a game. He leads the team with just &#xD;&#xA;under seven rebounds per game and 72 blocked shots so far this season.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;Mo Walker is the obvious choice to start in place of Eliason, but &#xD;&#xA;Pitino said he needs both men to play Tuesday at Madison Square Garden.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;"Mo is playing well, but Elliot is very, very important to our team as well," Pitino said. "We&#x27;re not better without Elliot."

It&#x27;s big. The Noles are one of the biggest teams in the country with two seven footers. Seminoles should roll.

SMALL FSU BREAKDOWNim a big fsu fan. all of florida states teams under the leonard hamilton era have all been big and lanky with great size. when ian miller is hittin from 3 n getting to to the FT line the noles are hard to beat.Now with the breakout season of aaron thomas to help with the scoring load. we also have an nba prospect in okaro white who is a slasher and does alot of the dirty work for us this year. bojonavski who is one of the 2 7 footers we have is soft but he is a solid pick n roll player. now ojo is a raw talented player who is still trying to develop but he is a solid rebounder usually off the bench. devin bookert is a good pg who can hit the 3 and is a sneaky player on the team. lastly montay brandon is just a ball-handler slash defensive player. ghilchrist is athletic and is a spark off the bench aswell. Now after this run in the nit and being a nole&#x27;s fan i am more a believer we can win this game plus many ppl forget minnesota beat us by 10 in minny. i do remember we struggled on offense in that game. i don&#x27;t really know about the gophers but there&#x27;s a little breakdown of my noles... im rooting big for them tonight and i do want to pull the trigger on my team i think i will take out the emotional factor and pass...but theres some meat n potatoes for ur thread!BOL whatever side u guys r on tonight, GO NOLES
