After over a week off for the holidays, FSU basketball had just one time to hit the court this week – as they opened ACC play with one of the most difficult challenges that any team in the conference can have: opening their season inside Cameron Indoor Stadium for a showdown with the fourth ranked Duke Blue Devils.
Even with the defeat on Saturday, the Seminoles don’t have long to cry about it with two games this week against ranked foes from the conference – including one showdown with the defending national champs and another contest against an in-state foe that have hopes of their own to make a deep NCAA Tournament run.
