It’s Thursday, Florida State fans, which means we’re only two days away from yet another big showdown on the hardwood as FSU travels to face North Carolina. We’ll keep you up to the date on the latest in FSU athletics by updating the news and notes section throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State’s men’s basketball team is the talk of the town recently in Tallahassee and for good reason. FSU is 16-1, ranked in the top 10 and 4-0 in ACC play. The Seminoles took down No. 7 Duke on Tuesday night, 88-72.
Over the last couple weeks, FSU has started to turn heads as a contender, including with the odds-makers. Following Tuesday’s victory over Duke, FSU is now listed at 25-to-1 to win the national championship, according to Sportsbook.ag. On Dec. 30, FSU was listed at 90-to-1. After beating Virginia on Dec. 31, the Seminoles’ odds went to 50-to-1.
After winning on the road against Virginia and handily beating Duke on Tuesday, FSU doesn’t really need to make any further statements to create believers. It can do just that on Saturday however, against North Carolina.
Between the Lines
