Projection: likely out
Florida State is facing an uphill battle to strengthen its NCAA tournament resume given its current performance and notable losses. The loss to Florida was particularly damaging, as it showcased defensive weaknesses that could haunt them in tougher matchups. Additionally, while they've secured wins against weaker opponents like Northern Kentucky and Tarleton State, the lack of quality wins puts them at a disadvantage. Upcoming games against teams like LSU and North Carolina will be crucial; victories there could provide a much-needed boost to their standing, while losses could further diminish their chances of being considered for the tournament. Their inconsistent defensive performance needs addressing if they hope to compete effectively in the ACC and beyond.
