FSU basketball (16-2, 6-1 ACC) is in uncharted territory after beginning the season unranked. The Noles made the Sweet 16 last season, but lost a lot of firepower when Terrance Mann and Mfionde Kabengele were taken in the NBA Draft.
They also lost seniors Phil Cofer and P.J. Savoy who were large contributors. I suppose that’s the reason the Noles entered the season unranked despite last season’s success.
FSU basketball did itself no favors by losing their opening game against Pittsburgh, However, Leonard Hamilton has done a great job of molding this team and getting them to take upon the identity of past teams.
