Florida State basketball is riding high, winning eleven of their last fourteen games. The Seminoles continued their hot streak with a thrilling 95-89 victory over the California Golden Bears on Wednesday night.
As they gear up to face Duke on Thursday at 7 PM EST on ESPN, head coach Luke Loucks and his squad are brimming with confidence. The upcoming clash promises to be a tough test, but Florida State seems ready to showcase their mettle.
This turnaround is remarkable for a team that struggled earlier in the season. Coach Loucks deserves credit for steering the Seminoles back on course after a tough loss to North Carolina State. Instead of folding, they regrouped and fought back, demonstrating resilience and determination.
While a spot in the NCAA Tournament might still be a long shot, a strong performance against Duke could provide the Seminoles with a much-needed boost.
Senior guard Robert McCray V could be the game-changer against the Blue Devils. He's been a standout performer all season, dropping 30 points in the win over California. To overcome the odds as 18.5-point underdogs, McCray V will need to deliver another stellar performance.
In their regular-season matchup with Duke, Florida State fell 91-87, with McCray V contributing 22 points and five assists. That game, back on January 3rd, showed the Seminoles' potential, and now they’re playing with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
With their current form, Florida State is a team that can't be underestimated. Coach Loucks and McCray V are poised to lead their team with passion and purpose, aiming to pull off a memorable win.
