FSU Basketball History Factoids

With FSU's amazing season so far, this is worth looking at.  Fun team.  I hope FSU can add a few big accomplishments for this season (Sweet 16 or better?).  They deserve it.

FSU began the 1972-73 season ranked No. 2, but lost the 4th game to Princeton. That's the only time FSU basketball has been higher than 6th
