With the Florida State men’s basketball team preparing for its second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament (and sixth in the last 10 years), let’s take a look back and see how the regular season compared with preseason predictions and expectations.
Was FSU expected to make the NCAA Tournament?
The general consensus was...probably not. Most national pundits were not sold on FSU—understandable after losing 4 starters and a key reserve from last year’s team. SI.com did not include FSU in its preseason bracket at all. (You’ll note that both UF and Miami were projected to be 3-seeds, a good bit higher than where they ended up).
