They have two main guys on their team in Sina and Cavanaugh, and we wanted to limit their touches, take away post catches and really make it tough on them. They were a two-headed snake and if we were able to cut that off, we were going to be able to hold them to a low field goal percentage and I think we did a great job of that.BIG PICTUREFlorida State: Leonard Hamiltons team, which routinely visited the Washington area when Maryland was still in the ACC, showed off its depth against George Washington.
