FSU basketball tips off season vs Nicholls State

The season has arrived!

FSU has had some terrible roster luck in recent years, but don't look to Nicholls State head coach JP Piper for any sympathy. He's coached for 30 years and stated that last year was his toughest. He had a point guard who he counted on to be among the NCAA leaders in minutes played, only he broke his foot in an exhibition game and missed the entire season. His backup went into the doghouse, which left two walk-ons to run the team. They both got hurt.

The team's chemistry fell apart, and when the season ended at 10-19 (7-11), six players transferred.
