In their last game against Alabama State Hornets, the Seminoles demonstrated an overwhelming superiority with a final score of 110-45. Their offensive prowess was evident as they shot with a 52 percent field goal accuracy and an exceptional three-point percentage of 48. Notably, their free throw performance was nearly flawless at 90 percent, which could be a decisive factor in close encounters.


The defensive aspect was equally impressive; they managed to limit turnovers to eleven while forcing eighteen from the Hornets. This resulted in thirty-one points off turnovers, highlighting their ability to capitalize on opponents' mistakes. Additionally, with eighteen assists and only eleven turnovers, they showed great ball movement and decision-making skills.


Another victory came when visiting Drexel Dragons where the Seminoles secured a comfortable win with a score of 76-56. They maintained high efficiency from inside the arc at fifty-one percent and converted forty-two percent from beyond it. Their defense remained solid by turning over Drexel thirteen times leading to twenty-two points.


However, it's worth noting that in an away game against UCLA Bruins – one of the top-ranked teams – Florida State faced defeat despite putting up seventy-eight points and shooting forty-seven percent from three-point range.


With these trends in mind, fans can expect Florida State Seminoles to bring both offensive firepower and defensive tenacity into this game. The venue might pose challenges as playing away can affect team dynamics; however, given recent performances, there is every reason for optimism among supporters.


Catch all the action live on February 18th at nine PM Eastern Time as Florida State looks to add another victory on their campaign this season.
