How’s that for a good week, FSU basketball?
The now-ranked Seminoles (19-8) advance to 8-7 in conference play with back-to-back home victories against No. 15 Clemson and Pittsburgh. Florida State moves up one spot to an 8-seed in the East region, slated to play 9-seed Saint Mary’s in Joe Lunardi’s latest bracketology. FSU is down to No. 29 in daily BPI.
The Seminoles ended a two-game losing streak, 81-79 in a thriller over the Tigers, before avoiding disaster against Pittsburgh on Saturday, 88-75. A victory over Saint Mary’s in the first round of the tournament would likely mean Florida State plays one-seed Villanova in the second round.
