FSU basketball fans were secretly hoping for that 10/11-seed sweet spot, sandwiched between the 8/9 game and the first four. Instead, they were selected as the 9-seed, and must face a Missouri team welcoming back a transcendent talent in Michael Porter Jr.
Porter’s return couldn’t have come at a more opportune time, as the suspension of 6-7 Jordan Barnett has left a void on the wing.
Many basketball fans see that Porter Jr. is 6-10, and think that Missouri is bringing back another post presence. But that’s not his game. He’s a wing in the mold of Jonathan Isaac.
