With its athleticism, depth and defense, Florida State has emerged as a consistent league and national power under Leonard Hamilton. Yet, since winning its only ACC Tournament in 2012, FSU has only recently become a dominating offensive force.
Fifth in ACC scoring offense in 2012 with 69.8 points per game, three years later Hamilton’s club dropped to 10th with a 66.6-point average. Since then Florida State finished fourth or better in scoring in each of six seasons.
That production peaked with last year’s 77.16 average, best in the ACC, after standing second in 2020. FSU finished second in the 2021 regular-season standings with an 11-4 league record and its scoring margin was superior to any other conference team.
