It’s Sunday, Florida State fans. Before you settle in and watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State will be bound for the NCAA Tournament for the first time in five years once the brackets are unveiled. The question is what seed the Seminoles will earn, where they’ll go and who they’ll play.

Lunardi pits No. 4 seed FSU against 13th-seeded East Tennessee State, the Southern Conference champions, in the East Region. Palm has FSU as a No. 3 seed, facing No. 14 seed and Atlantic Sun champion Florida Gulf Coast in the Midwest Region.
FSU is 25-8 for the season. The brackets will be unveiled at 5:30 p.m. EST on CBS.
