Last season's analytics reveal a team that played with consistency and determination. The Seminoles showcased a solid field goal percentage of 43 percent and were particularly strong from the free-throw line with a 71 percent success rate. Their true shooting percentage stood at 53 percent, indicating efficient scoring when factoring in free throws and three-pointers.


The team also demonstrated proficiency beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of 33 percent while maintaining a more impressive two-point percentage of 49 percent. This balanced attack will be crucial as they face off against the Hatters.


Defensively, Florida State was formidable last season, averaging nearly five blocks and over eight steals per game – numbers that reflect their ability to disrupt opponents' plays effectively. On average, they pulled down roughly 32 rebounds per game while keeping personal fouls to just over 16 per match-up.


However, ball control was an area noted for improvement as they averaged about 12 turnovers per game last season. As they head into this upcoming contest, minimizing turnovers will be key in maintaining offensive momentum against Stetson.


With an average of approximately 71 points scored per game complemented by around 14 assists, it is clear that teamwork is at the heart of Florida State's strategy on offense. Fans can expect this collaborative spirit to shine through once again as they aim for victory on their home turf.


The scheduled tip-off is set for November 8th at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center in Tallahassee, FL – home ground where fans hope to see another strong performance from their beloved Seminoles. Supporters unable to attend can catch all the action live on ACC Network Extra via internet broadcast networks.
