Mustangs' Star Out: FSU Eyes Crucial Win Over SMU
7 Mar
Summary
- Florida State has achieved a remarkable 9-3 record since January 20th.
- SMU faces BJ Edwards' likely absence, impacting their NCAA Tournament hopes.
- Florida State needs a win and specific ACC outcomes for a 7th tournament seed.
Florida State has engineered an impressive midseason turnaround, achieving a 9-3 record since January 20th, positioning them for a potential 7th seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament. Securing this seed hinges on beating SMU at home and favorable outcomes in other ACC games.
SMU, once poised for the NCAA Tournament, has faltered, losing three straight games. Their struggles are compounded by the likely absence of B.J. Edwards, a leading defensive player, due to an ankle injury. His potential unavailability significantly impacts the Mustangs' defense and offense.
Florida State's own recent history includes setting program records for road ACC wins, reflecting their resurgence under coach Luke Loucks. The Seminoles aim to overcome a late-game wobble against Pitt and translate this momentum into a critical win against SMU.
