Can Florida State Seminoles Extend Their Winning Streak at Home Against Boston College Eagles?

As the Florida State Seminoles prepare to host the Boston College Eagles at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent success on home turf. The Seminoles have shown a promising trend in their last few games, with two victories out of three contests, indicating an upward trajectory as they approach this matchup.

In their most recent game against Winthrop Eagles, FSU showcased a solid defensive performance with 10 blocks and 14 steals, contributing to a six-point victory. Despite shooting only 32 percent from the field and a lowly 17 percent from beyond the arc, they managed to secure points through free throws with a commendable 71 percent completion rate. This resilience in finding alternative scoring routes could be pivotal against Boston College.


The game prior saw an even more dominant display by FSU against North Florida Ospreys where they put up an impressive 91 points. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot over half of their attempts successfully from both the field (51 percent) and two-point range (53 percent). Coupled with strong rebounding numbers and converting turnovers into points effectively indicates that when FSU finds its rhythm offensively, they can be hard to stop.

However, it's not all been smooth sailing for FSU; in their encounter with SMU Mustangs, we witnessed some struggles. The team only managed to shoot at 31 percent from the field and had difficulty defending without fouling – something that will need tightening up if they are to overcome Boston College.


Looking ahead at this upcoming clash on February 21st at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center – which fans can watch on ACC Network channel 612 – it's clear that maintaining defensive intensity while improving shooting accuracy will be key for FSU's success. With home advantage and recent form suggesting an edge for Florida State Seminoles, supporters should expect another thrilling contest as part of this season’s campaign.
