Florida State Seminoles
Non-conference play is supposed to be easy for teams in the ACC, as they can usually just stack up games against inferior opponents and rack up early season wins. But that has not been the case for the Florida State Seminoles, as they have started the season with a 1-4 record. Here, they look to get it together to beat another opponent from outside of the Power 5 in a neutral site game that will see plenty of Seminoles fans in Florida.
So far this season, the biggest challenge for Florida State has been simply putting the ball in the basket. They have broken 75 points in just one game this year, with that being their lone win of the season against Mercer. If they cannot keep their offense on track here, an upset could be in the cards.
Siena Saints
Siena College is 2-2 this season, but they got a win in the biggest game of their season so far over the Albany Great Danes in their Albany Cup rivalry game. While Florida State has broken 75 points just once this season, Siena has done so in three of their four contests on the season. The question here is whether they can do it again in a huge step up in competition for them.
The key for Siena in this game is going to be the early minutes of this contest. If they can keep pace with Florida State early and ease their way into a game against a Power 5 opponent, they certainly have a chance to win outright. If they get off to a slow start and can’t build their confidence in those opening minutes, things could get out of hand quickly.
