FSU Hoops: Conference Slate Unveiled for 2018-19

Fresh off a first Elite Eight appearance in 25 years, Florida State now has an idea of what next season’s slate will look like — at least in conference.

Aside from the traditional teams that FSU sees twice each year — Miami and Clemson — the Seminoles will also get two looks at Wake Forest and Georgia Tech during the 2018-19 season. One contest will come at home while the other is away.

FSU defeated the Yellow Jackets at home this past season, but lost at Wake. As far as the traditional opponents go, FSU beat both Miami and Clemson in overtime in Tallahassee, but lost on the road.

For the rest of the ACC slate, the remaining teams that FSU hosted this past season will get to host the Seminoles during the 2018-19 campaign. The teams that Florida State visited this past season will come to Tallahassee this upcoming season.

Home games include contests against Duke, Louisville, Virginia Tech, NC State and Notre Dame. FSU’s only ACC road wins this past season came over Virginia Tech and Louisville, although the Cardinals were one of only two ACC teams to beat the Seminoles at the Donald L. Tucker Center.

Road games this season will come against Boston College, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Virginia. The only one of those teams to win in Tallahassee this past season was Virginia, which would go on to capture the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament before becoming the first ever to lose to a No. 16.

Times and dates for next season’s contests will come at a later time.
