(5) Florida State (23-8) will face the 12th seeded Bucknell Bison (28-5) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Charlotte, NC. The game is scheduled to tip at 4pm on Friday, March 22. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. The Bison won the Patriot League Championship defeating American University 66-54 in the Patriot League Tournament final.
If the Noles get past the Bison they would play the winner of the (4) South Carolina and (13) Belmont game. This subregion will be played in Charlotte, NC rather than Columbia, SC due to an arena conflict at South Carolina’s home arena.
