Florida State basketball: Women’s opener cancelled, men’s could be up in air

Florida State Seminoles basketball could miss out on both its men’s and women’s season openers.

The women’s game against intracity opponent FAMU was cancelled after the Rattlers decided to forgo its 2020-21 season.

“We are very disappointed but obviously we are taking concerns and circumstances within the women’s basketball program and COVID-19 very seriously. Student-athletes’ health and safety is and will remain our top priority,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Kortne Gosha said.

“The department of athletics and the University are committed to adhering to all COVID-19 protocols and making sure we keep every Rattler student-athlete safe.
