Florida State men\u2019s basketball (14-13, 7-7) will look to sweep its season series against archrival Miami (21-6, 10-4) in a late-night clash on Tuesday night, hoping to take one more step towards finishing the regular season strong.<\/p>\n
The Seminoles and Hurricanes each held up their end of the bargain to create one of the most anticipated games of this rivalry in recent years. Florida State turned around its season with an upset win in Coral Gables a little over a month ago and has won seven of its last nine games since then. On the other side, UM\u2019s defeat clearly was a wake-up call for Jai Lucas\u2019 team and Miami has won six of eight since the loss to FSU, including an upset win over North Carolina. Joe Lunardi currently slots the Canes as an eight seed in his latest bracketology prediction.<\/p>\n
Besides the usual implications of an FSU-Miami matchup, Tuesday provides rookie head coach Luke Loucks another opportunity to drum up fan support and sustain his program\u2019s momentum. Loucks got creative to fill the seats against Virginia a few weeks ago, offering to pay for the first 500 beers for students, but unfortunately, that contest slipped away from the Seminoles. Now, Florida State announced the student section was sold out for tonight\u2019s game, and a win can galvanize students and alumni alike into the latter portion of the season and into the offseason. The Noles can also push their win streak against Miami to seven with a victory.<\/p>\n
Florida State is a 2.5-point underdog according to FanDuel, with the over\/under set at 153.5.<\/p>\n
