Florida State men\u2019s basketball (15-14, 8-8) finishes off its road slate for the 2025-26 season with a late-night matchup away from home against Pitt (11-18, 4-12) at 9 PM.<\/p>\n
The Seminoles are coming off a professional win against Georgia Tech last Saturday, their first of two road games. Thomas Bassong and Robert McCray V led the way for FSU, with the former recording a double-double and the latter keeping the Nole offense in rhythm whenever the Yellow Jackets tried to stage a comeback. It was not the cleanest display of basketball, and Luke Loucks\u2019 team was bailed out a few times with GT being one of the worst high-major teams in college basketball, but it does give Florida State momentum heading into the final week of the regular season.<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s matchup is massive for both teams in the ACC standings, but for different reasons. The Noles are currently in a three-way tie in the conference standings for the final bye in the ACC tournament. While getting a bye would ensure the quarterfinal matchup, should FSU get there, would be a game against Duke, it would signify how far the program has come since the start of conference play. SMU, one of the teams tied with Florida State, plays Miami tonight before traveling to Tallahassee for the final game of the regular season. Virginia Tech, the other team knotted up with the Noles, played last night and defeated Boston College. On the other side of the floor, Pitt is tied with Notre Dame for the last spot in the conference tournament, but is currently in the field virtue of a tie-breaker when they defeated the Irish earlier in the year.<\/p>\n
Florida State is a slight 1.5-point favorite over the Panthers, according to ESPN Bet.<\/p>\n
