Seminoles to Host Kent State Golden Flashes in Women's Basketball Showdown at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center

As the Florida State Seminoles prepare to welcome the Kent State Golden Flashes to the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, fans are anticipating an exciting matchup in women's basketball. The Seminoles, coming off a mixed bag of performances, look to capitalize on their home-court advantage.

In their last outing at the Tucker Center, Florida State faced a tough Arkansas team and fell short with 58 points against the Razorbacks' 71. Despite a strong final quarter where they scored 26 points, it wasn't enough to overcome earlier deficits. Their shooting was below par; field goal percentage stood at just 29 percent and three-point shots were made at a rate of only 24 percent.


However, looking back two games prior provides a more promising picture for Seminole supporters. Against Northwestern in neutral territory, Florida State put up an impressive performance with 90 points on the board and shooting percentages that were significantly better: field goals at around 45 percent and three-pointers at approximately 38 percent.


The team has shown they can score heavily when finding their rhythm as evidenced by putting up an impressive total of 88 points against Stanford despite eventually losing that high-scoring affair.


Defensively, there is room for improvement after allowing over seventy points in two of their past three games. Rebounding has been solid with over fifty rebounds in each game which could be crucial against Kent State.


The upcoming game promises to be another test for this resilient Seminole squad as they aim to get back on track after recent setbacks. Fans can expect them to leverage their speed and transition play which has been effective in creating scoring opportunities throughout these past performances.


Be sure not to miss this encounter scheduled for December 3rd at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center starting from seven o'clock Eastern Time (ET). The game will also be available for fans via ACC Network Extra online broadcast networks.
