ACC Roundup - Florida State Impresses, Syracuse Loses To The Zags

In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Gonzaga took care of Syracuse 76-57 and Florida State beat Colorado 77-71 in overtime.

It’s a big win for Florida State in general but even more so since Colorado is ranked #18.

Normally that’d be just kind of a nice win but this year it’s a bit more than that since last year, FSU basically fell off of a cliff, finishing 9-23.

The pandemic hit Florida State hard. In 2017-18, FSU finished 23-12 and made the Elite Eight, in 2018-19, the ‘Noles finished 29-8 and in 2019-20, when Covid hit, the Fightin’ Hammies managed 26-5.
