Two days after easily dispatching the SEC’s Missouri Tigers (a trendy pick to make a deep run), the Seminoles summoned one of their best performances of the season to upset the Big East’s number 1 seeded Xavier Musketeers 75-70 in what was a “semi-road” game in Nashville. The win exacted some sweet revenge after Xavier took down Florida State in last year’s NCAA Tournament.
Above the Rim:
- This year (like a lot of years) I have been asked several times if it would just be better to make a run in the NIT instead of drawing an 8-11 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
