Analyzing the Seminoles' Recent Performances


The Florida State Seminoles have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement in their recent games. A standout performance came against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on January 18, 2025, where FSU dominated with a score of 91 points to Georgia Tech's 78. This game highlighted FSU's offensive strength and defensive capabilities, boasting an efficiency game score of 80.9. The team excelled in points off turnovers (22) and second-chance points (20), showcasing their ability to capitalize on opportunities.


However, consistency remains a concern for FSU as evidenced by their performance against Stanford Cardinal on January 25, where they fell short with 71 points against Stanford's 78. Despite this loss, there were glimpses of potential with FSU managing a decent field goal percentage (38 percent) and free throw accuracy (75 percent). Yet, their struggle was apparent in converting mid-range shots and maintaining possession under pressure.


Facing Off Against Notre Dame


Notre Dame Fighting Irish comes into this game with its own set of strengths and weaknesses but should not be underestimated by the Seminoles or their fans. The key for FSU will be leveraging their home-court advantage at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center while focusing on improving shot selection and reducing turnovers.


Given FSU’s ability to perform under pressure as seen in past games, particularly in generating high-efficiency scores like against Georgia Tech, there is optimism surrounding their upcoming fixture against Notre Dame. To secure victory over the Fighting Irish, it will be crucial for FSU to maintain defensive solidity while exploiting any lapses from Notre Dame’s side.
