Happy hump day, Florida State fans. As the day goes on, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section will be updated.
Lead Story
A second Elite Eight appearance in three years was enough to earn Florida State’s women’s basketball a top 10 finish in each of the two major polls.
FSU, who finished the year 28-7, will end the season 10th in the AP Poll and No. 7 in the USA Today Coaches Poll, which was released on Tuesday. The Seminoles won three games by double-digits in the NCAA Tournament to get to the Elite Eight where they were defeated by eventual national champion South Carolina.
Leading scorer Shakayla Thomas will return next season as will Chatrice White and Imani Wright. FSU however, will lose some key pieces, including guards Leticia Romero and Brittany Brown and forward Ivey Slaughter.
