Very little has been going right for the Florida State Seminoles recently. FSU is just 2-3 SU in its last five games, all of which the team ultimately failed to cover. Barring a couple of terrible losses to close out the regular season, the Seminoles should still find themselves in the tournament but can they rectify their recent struggles when they visit a ranked Clemson team Wednesday?
- The total has gone OVER in 5 of Florida State’s last 6 games against Clemson.
- Florida State is 4-0 SU in its last 4 games against Clemson.
- Clemson is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 games at home against teams with winning records.
In Florida State’s most recent loss, we saw that the team’s biggest strength – playing in transition – is also its greatest weakness. FSU played a high-tempo style against NC State but shot a dreadful 0-for-15 from beyond the arc. When the Seminoles’ shots are falling, they are one of the hardest teams to combat in the country, but their porous defense puts all the strain on the offensive end.
Clemson is on the verge of program history with just two games remaining in its regular season, as the Tigers can rack up 11 conference wins for the first time with a victory against FSU or in their finale vs Syracuse. In order to achieve that landmark, Clemson needs to get its offense rolling, as Brad Brownell’s team has averaged just 67.3 points in the past four. That includes an overtime loss to FSU, in which Clemson’s offense evaporated and the team gave up an 18-point lead.
