The third seeded Florida State Seminoles (25-6, 12-4 ACC) will meet the Sun Belt conference champion and 14th seeded University of Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans (23-9, 17-1 Sun Belt) in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Little Rock is a team that relies on defense to win games. The Trojans rank 24th nationally in DPPP (FSU is 87th) while only ranking 150th in OPPP (FSU is 10th). The Trojans have done this against the 208th toughest schedule according to Sagarin (FSU is 30th).
This game will be a classic clash of styles. UALR plays at a glacial pace.
