Well, that could have gone better. Florida State, as expected, wound up in the NCAA Tournament’s West region, with 1-seed Gonzaga. We knew that the Seminoles were right around the borderline between being a 3-seed or a 4-seed, but the selection committee gave the Texas Tech Red Raiders the former in the region, and the ’Noles the latter.
Okay, so whenever you’re straddling two possible seeds, getting the lower seed is going to kind of hurt. But the real disservice done to FSU by the committee was sending it to Hartford, CT to play 13-seed Vermont.
