The Seminoles have been on an impressive run, with recent games highlighting their offensive prowess and defensive solidity. In a commanding victory against Alabama State Hornets, they put up an astonishing 110 points, demonstrating a balanced attack that saw them shooting 52 percent from the field and an exceptional 90 percent from the free-throw line. Their three-point shooting was equally impressive at 48 percent, indicating that they can score from all areas of the floor.


Their away game against Drexel Dragons also ended in triumph with a solid scoreline of 76 points and efficient shooting percentages across the board – including 49 percent from field goals and a notable performance in paint scoring with 46 points. This win was complemented by strong defense leading to points off turnovers.


However, it's worth noting that in another away game versus UCLA Bruins – one of the top-ranked teams – FSU faced challenges despite putting up a respectable fight with 78 points scored. Their two-point field goal percentage dropped to 40 percent while still maintaining commendable three-point efficiency at 47 percent.


The Seminoles' recent performances suggest they are capable of high-scoring games with significant contributions from both starters and bench players. They've shown resilience in bouncing back after tough matchups and will look to leverage their home-court advantage where they've recently thrived.


Fans attending or tuning into this matchup should expect Florida State Seminoles to capitalize on fast breaks, maintain high assist-to-turnover ratios indicative of smart ball movement, and exploit any weaknesses in Notre Dame's defense through strategic playmaking.


Be sure not to miss this exciting encounter between Florida State Seminoles and Notre Dame Fighting Irish on February 11th at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center starting at 5 PM local time (ET). The game will be available for fans to watch live as these two teams battle it out on court.
