Florida State comes into the game with a record of 6-4 0-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and is eleventh in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings!

Florida State hasn’t played an opponent since Wednesday December 15, 2021 when they hosted Lipscomb in Tallahassee Florida where they won 97-60!

Why?

Because both Florida State’s game verses UCF on Saturday December 18, 2021 was canceled. Their game in Tallahassee Florida verses North Florida was postponed because of coronavirus protcols and their game at Boston College was postponed also because of coronavirus protcols.
