FSU basketball factoids post 2019 final home game (Va Tech) (UPDATED)


https://floridastate.forums.rivals.com/threads/at-least-we-made-acc-history.253533/

No 27-win team from the ACC had ever been given a seed lower than a 1 or 2.

Not only could we not muster a 2, we couldn't even muster a 3.

At least they made up for it by giving us the highest 4 and a close geographic region. Oh wait.

Purdue, UVA and LSU

Our 1972 National Finalist team had a an NCAA run and defeated the Big Ten Champions ( Dave Winfield's Minnesota), the SEC Champions ( Aloph Rupp's last Kentucky team) and the ACC Champions ( Dean Smith, with Bob Mc Adop, Bobby Jones and George Karl) on the way to the Finals. We lost by 5 in L.A. to the PAC 10 Champs, John Wooden and Bill Walton's UCLA.

I believe our basketball team is now 2 wins away from most wins in a 4 year period. I could be wrong


95 wins from 2008-09 to 2011-12 is the most ..... we're on 93 since 2015-16, second most. Have also matched that previous stretch with four straight 20-win seasons, our most ever. It's kind of biased to recent years because teams didn't play as many games going back in the decades. But impressive nonetheless. 

There's also this -- this is our 14th straight season with a winning record, tying the longest streak in program history ... also did it from '67-68 to '80-81.

    1. Hokies are good....maybe scary good. Get that PG back and they make a deep run.
