The Seminoles come into this game with momentum on their side. In their recent quarterfinal match against Syracuse Orange, they showcased a robust offense and solid defense, securing a 78-65 victory. Their scoring was particularly impressive in the third quarter where they racked up 28 points, demonstrating their ability to surge ahead when it matters most. The team's overall field goal percentage stood at 40 percent with a notable performance from inside the paint where they scored 44 points.


Defensively, Florida State managed to out-rebound Syracuse with an impressive total of 50 rebounds and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 17 points off them. Their free throw accuracy was also commendable at 79 percent which could be crucial in close-game situations.


In contrast, during their second-round game against Wake Forest Demon Deacons, while not as dominant offensively with only a field goal percentage of 40 percent again and three-point shots dropping at just an 18 percent rate, they still emerged victorious with a scoreline of 70-53. This win was aided by their ability to convert free throws at an outstanding rate of 84 percent and maintain control over rebounds (46 total).


The upcoming clash is expected to test Florida State's consistency in offensive execution and defensive resilience as they go up against the Wolfpack on their home court.


Fans can catch all the action live from Greensboro Coliseum on March 9th at 7:30 PM Eastern Time broadcasted on ACC Network. With both teams looking to advance further into postseason play, this matchup is one you won't want to miss!
