NCAA Tournament: FSU opens as small underdog against Xavier

FSU basketball rolled the No. 8 seed Missouri Tigers late Friday night to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament where they’ll face No. 1 seed Xavier.

If that names rings a bell, it’s because Xavier crushed FSU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year.

However, it was No. 11 seed Xavier beating a No. 3 seed FSU 91-66 almost a year ago to the day.

Now the Noles will have a chance to flip the script as the No. 9 seed taking on the No. 1 seed.

The interesting thing is FSU opened as one point underdogs and were bet up to -1.
