Florida State’s 2018-19 men’s basketball non-conference schedule is starting to come together.

Last week, the athletic department announced that the Seminoles would open the campaign at home against Florida. The Seminoles now know who they’ll face in this year’s Orange Bowl Classic.

According to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, FSU will take on Saint Louis in Sunrise on Dec. 22 at the BB&T Center. FSU is 7-2 all-time at the Orange Bowl Classic, but did lose to Oklahoma State last season in a thriller, 71-70.

The contest in South Florida will be the 13th meeting between the schools. Florida State holds an 11-1 edge all-time and is on a 4-game winning streak against the Billikens, but the teams have not met since January 1982. Saint Louis finished 17-16 a season ago.
