NO. 5 SEMINOLES TRAVEL TO PLAY AT VIRGINIA IN SECOND MEETING OF SEASON BETWEEN TEAMS No. 5/6 Florida State, which has won 10 consecutive and 17 of its last 18 games, travels to play Virginia at the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, Va., on Tuesday, January 28, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN. The Seminoles’ game against the Cavaliers is the second of the season (and second in a span of 13 days between the two teams). Florida State defeated Virginia, 54-50, on January 15, 2020 in Tallahassee. The Seminoles arrive in Charlottesville ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press poll for the second consecutive week. It their highest ranking since the preseason and the first two weeks of the 1972-73 season when they were ranked second nationally. It’s the third season in the last four years Florida State has been ranked for at least two weeks in the nation’s top-10. The Seminoles were ranked No. 6 (January 23, 2017) and No. 9 (January 9, 2017) during the 2016-17 season and ranked No. 9 in consecutive weeks (December 24 and 31, 2019) during the 2018-19 season. Florida State made its debut in the 2019-20 polls at No. 17 during week five this season. Following its game at Virginia, the Seminoles will play at Virginia Tech on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. before beginning a two-game home stand against North Carolina on ESPN’s Big Monday Extravaganza on February 3, 2019 at 7:00 at the Donald L. Tucker Center. A MILESTONE FILLED NIGHT FOR FORREST AGAINST NOTRE DAME Senior Trent Forrest scored his 1,000 career point (he enters Tuesday’s game against Virginia with 1,009 career points), pulled down his 500th career rebound (he enters Tuesday’s game against Virginia with 503 career rebounds) and earned his 200th career steal (he enters Tuesday’s game against Virginia with 200 career steals). Forrest is just the second Seminole in school history – along with All-American Bob Sura – to score at least 1,000 career points, pull down 500 or more career rebounds, earn 400 or more career assists (he enters Tuesday’s game against Virginia with 412 career assists) and total 200 or more career steals. SEMINOLES LOOK TO MOVE TO 18-2 AS THEY PREPARE TO FACE VIRGINIA Florida State enters Tuesday’s game at Virginia with a 17-2 record. A win would move the Seminoles to 18-2 and tie their best start to a season in school history. Head Coach Leonard Hamilton guided the Seminoles to an 18-2 start to the 2016-17 season. Florida State defeated Louisville on January 21, 2017 to improve to 18-2. The Seminoles lost their next two games to move to 18-4. They finished the 2016-17 season with a 26-9 record and a 12-6 record in ACC play – good for a second place finish in the ACC standings. SEMINOLES RIDING 10 GAME WINNING STREAK HEADING INTO VIRGINIA Florida State enters Tuesday’s game against Virginia having won 10 consecutive games – a streak that began with a 72-53 win over Clemson at the Donald L. Tucker Center on December 8, 2019. The Seminoles’ 10 game winning streak is its longest since winning a school record 12 consecutive games from Nov. 25, 2016 (72-61 win over Illinois) through January 10, 2017 (88-72 win over Duke). FLORIDA STATE IN THE LAST TWO SEASONS Florida State is 46-10 overall (.821 winning percentage) and 20-6 in ACC play (.769 winning percentage) since the beginning of the 2018-19 season. Florida State won a school-record 29 games and finished with a 29-8 overall record (.784 winning percentage) in advancing to the Sweet 16 of the 2019 NCAA Tournament. With its 3-1 record in the 2018 NCAA Tournament the Seminoles, are 49-11 (.817 winning percentage) since defeating Missouri on March 16, 2018. LOOK FOR FLORIDA STATE TO… …Defeat Virginia and improve to 18-2 on the season. It would mark the second time in school history the Seminoles would have won 18 of their first 20 games. Florida State began the 2016-17 season with an 18-2 record; …Defeat Virginia and improve to 8-1 in ACC play for the first time since joining the league for the 1991-92 season; …Defeat Virginia and win its eighth consecutive ACC game. An eighth consecutive ACC win would mark their longest streak since winning eight straight conference games from January 22, 2019 (77-68 win over Clemson) through February 19, 2019 (77-64 win over Clemson); …Defeat Virginia and sweep the two-game regular season series against the Cavaliers. It would mark the first time since the 2011-12 season that the Seminoles had defeated Virginia in two games during the regular season; …Defeat Virginia and win its fourth consecutive ACC road game. The Seminoles have won (in order) games at Louisville (78-65, January 4), at Wake Forest (78-68, January 8) and at Miami (83-79 in overtime, January 18).

Exhibition 1 -- Florida State 95,Barry 66

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State’s exhibition opener provided a glimpse of what lies ahead for the Seminoles – both in the upcoming season and beyond. It also showed coach Leonard Hamilton a few things he’d like for his team to tighten up between now and the Seminoles’ season opener on November 6. So, in that sense, it was a near-perfect evening for FSU, which got 19 points and five assists from senior Trent Forrest in a 95-66 victory over Barry University at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Forrest, the central figure for an FSU team that lost its top two scorers from a year ago, was one of six Seminoles to finish in double-figures. Anthony Polite added 18 – including 16 in the second half – while RaiQuan Gray (10 points) and newcomers Patrick Williams (12, nine rebounds), Nathanael Jack (10), Dominik Olejniczak (10 points, seven rebounds) and Malik Osborne (seven points, seven boards) all enjoyed productive outings.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Devin Vassell scored 13 points, M.J. Walker added 12 and Florida State upset No. 6 Florida 63-51 on Sunday, extending its series winning streak to six. The Seminoles (1-1) avoided their first 0-2 start since 2000 thanks to suffocating defense that forced the rival Gators (1-1) into 16 turnovers and a woeful shooting performance. Florida was 14 of 50 from the field, including 4 of 22 from 3-point range. A sellout crowd witnessed FSU take over late in the first half and really seize control after the break. The Gators went 10 minutes with just one field goal -- a dunk on an inbound play -- as Florida State pulled ahead 38-25 in the opening minutes of the second half. The ‘Noles went up by 14 on Anthony Polite’s 3-pointer with 9:31 to play. The Seminoles made 11 of their first 20 shots in the second half. They also finished with five blocked shots and eight steals.

Game 9 -- Indiana 80, Florida State 64

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Devonte Green senior scored a career-high 30 points, knocked down five 3-pointers and helped fuel a late spurt with two big shots to lead undefeated Indiana past No. 17 Florida State 80-64 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Green went 10 of 15 from the field, 5 of 7 on 3s and 5 for 7 at the free throw line. He also grabbed six rebounds and finished with three assists and two steals -- not bad for someone who missed Indiana’s first three games with an injured hamstring. With Green back, the Hoosiers are off to their best start since 2012-13. They earned their third straight win over a ranked team dating to last season and head into Big Ten play with a boost of confidence. It wasn’t just Green, either. Freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis had 15 points and eight rebounds, while junior Justin Smith chipped in with 14 points and five boards. Trent Forrest scored 13 to lead the Seminoles, who had their seven-game winning streak snapped. M.J. Walker and Devin Vassell added 10 points apiece.

Game 12 -- Florida State 66, USF 60

SUNRISE, Fla. – Florida State used smothering defense to overcome a 10-point deficit in the final seven minutes and beat South Florida 66-60 in the Orange Bowl Classic. The Seminoles forced 24 turnovers, including seven as they outscored the Bulls 19-3 down the stretch. Florida State forced four shot-clock violations and won despite being outrebounded by 14 and shooting only 40 percent, including 7 for 27 from 3-point range.

A flurry of nine points in 39 seconds by the Bulls — including a pair of 3s and two free technical foul free throws — helped them lead 57-47 with 6:32 to go. But they didn’t score another field goal until garbage time with 3 seconds left, and committed turnovers on four consecutive possessions as the Seminoles pulled ahead. Devin Vassell’s jumper with two minutes left put Florida State in front to stay. Michael Durr had 15 points and seven rebounds for the Bulls, but they shot just 3 for 15 from 3-point range.

Game 15 -- Florida State 78, Louisville 65

LOUISVILLE. Ky. – M.J. Walker scored 23 points for Florida State as the 18th-ranked Seminoles beat No. 7 Louisville 78-65. The Seminoles endured a big game from Louisville’s Jordan Nwora to pull the upset. The preseason All-American scored 32 points, matching a career high. But the Cardinals could not overcome a 55.2% shooting performance by the Seminoles in losing their second straight. Florida State made 11 of 23 3-pointers.

They went the last 5:04 without a field goal as the Seminoles took 39-32 lead into the break. Walker helped offset Nwora’s early barrage. The junior came off the bench to score 15 points in the first half on 6-of-8 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. Walker finished one point short of his career high. Trent Forrest added 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting, and Devin Vassell scored 14. Florida State led 52-42 with 13:43 remaining.

Game 16 -- Florida State 78, Wake Forest 68

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Devin Vassell scored 17 points and Florida State pulled away in the final 10 minutes to beat Wake Forest 78-68, giving the Seminoles another double-digit win in league play. Florida State got in foul trouble in the first half and sent the Demon Deacons to the line 22 times before the break, then surrendered an 11-0 run out of the break that gave Wake Forest a lead. Yet Florida State tightened up its defense and stopped sending a parade of Demon Deacons players to the foul line, then began to gradually stretch out a lead on the way to a seventh straight win.M.J. Walker scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half for the Seminoles, who went ahead for good on RaiQuan Gray’s 3-pointer at the 14:04 mark. They also held the Demon Deacons to one field goal over 6 1/2 minutes as they finally asserted control, pushing a 52-49 lead to 67-56 on Malik Osborne’s 3-pointer with 2:46 left. Brandon Childress scored 20 points to lead Wake Forest, which played without starter Chaundee Brown due to a lower-leg injury. The Demon Deacons (8-6, 1-3) got off to a slow start to fall behind by a dozen in the opening minutes, but used that 11-0 run to erase a 41-34 halftime deficit and get back in it.

Game 17 -- Florida State 83, Miami 79 (OT)

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – No. 9-ranked Florida State forced 24 turnovers, including three in a row in overtime, and rallied Saturday to earn their ninth consecutive victory by beating Miami 83-79. Sophomore Devin Vassell set a career high for the third consecutive game by leading Florida State with 23 points while adding 11 rebounds and five assists. His two free throws with six seconds left sealed the win. Walker played only 23 minutes because of foul trouble but scored 19 points, all in the second half, Malik Osborne’s three-point play with 2:25 left in overtime put the Seminoles ahead to stay. The Seminoles won despite shooting 42 percent and committing 16 turnovers. They compensated by scoring 21 points off takeaways. Not that Florida State’s characteristically strong defense wasn’t stout from the start. The Hurricanes had to call a timeout when they were trapped on the game’s first possession. They blew a dunk, threw up air balls and had 10 shots blocked. But Miami stayed in the game early with a strong defensive effort of its own. DJ Vasiljevic sank a 3-pointer and then scored on a breakaway to give the Hur-ricanes their biggest lead with 5:20 remaining, 65-56. The Seminoles have won nine consecutive overtime games, including two this season. Their last OT loss came against Iowa in December 2016.

Florida State Basketball Guard Devin Vassell Becoming A More All-Around Player By Wayne McGahee III Tallahassee Democrat October 21, 2019 Florida State guard Devin Vassell has ice in his veins. As a freshman, the moment was never too big for him and he never backed down even during the Seminoles' run to the Sweet 16. After playing the sharp-shooter role on last year's team, he wants to become an all-around player in his second year. "Just play as hard as I can on defense and not really worry about offense," Vassell told the Democrat. "Just try and get all the little things like the deflections, the steals, and rebounds and just all the little things to help our team win." Despite being a freshman, Vassell was the top shooter on FSU's roster a season ago. He knocked down 41.9% of the threes he took. No other player shot over 39% from beyond the arc last season. Vassell connected on 26 of the 62 three-point shots he took, and all 26 were assisted. His ability to catch and shoot immediately is a valuable weapon for the FSU offense. "It's a lot of hours I just did with coach C.Y. (Charlton Young) and coach (Stan) Jones and just with the whole coaching staff," Vassell said. "I'll just say that credit to them to, you know, get me to where I am and I just keep working every day." FSU needs Vassell to step up this season after losing half of last year's roster to graduation and the NBA. With six newcomers, Vassell is one of the more experienced players on the roster, at least from a playing at FSU standpoint. But he's not only stepped up his play on the court. He's become one of the leaders of the locker room despite being one of the youngest players on the roster. "We expect him to continue the improvement that he showed us from the beginning of the season last year until now," FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. "The difference that I expect to see from Devin is his maturity, his confidence. He is a lot more vocal. He's becoming a guy who is the voice in the background who's consistently vocal enough to help guys remember exactly what he's supposed to do. He's been outspoken, as much as any sophomore that I've seen." The system that FSU runs requires the players to be in top shape due to the effort that they have to play with when they're on the court. The Seminoles rotate players constantly and players are supposed to give everything they have for around a four-minute stretch before coming off for the next wave of players. The pace of the game and the effort that FSU requires was one of the things that were the hardest to adjust to last season, according to Vassell.

He's put in a lot of work this off-season to make sure he's ready for it as a sophomore. "I probably gained about 10-15 pounds over the summer," Vassell said. "I’ve just been really working on my defense to be able to guard one through four and just be able to switch it and be the match-up problem on offense and on defense."

Unselfishness, Toughness Help Vault FSU Into Associated Press Top-5 In Men's Basketball By Jim Henry Tallahassee Democrat January 20, 2020 Hugh Durham believes two qualities best exemplify the Florida State men’s basketball team: Unselfishness and toughness. Durham, who led FSU to the 1972 NCAA Championship game and the team’s last top-5 ranking during the 1972-73 season, says that’s a difficult balance. He credits Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton for the ability to get players - including those with their sights on the NBA - to commit to his system. “Players accept their roles,” Durham said Monday from his Jacksonville hometown. “When you turn on the television, that’s not what you see all the time. The perception might be this guy is not putting the team first. I think that’s what is unusual about Florida State. Somehow, Leonard is able to get his players to buy in. I think that, along with the talent he recruits, he gets the talent buying into that concept.” FSU (16-2 overall, 6-1 ACC) continued its surge under Hamilton Monday, when it vaulted to No. 5 in The Associated Press men's college basketball poll. It’s the Seminoles’ highest ranking since they were No. 2 in the opening weeks of the 1972-73 season under Durham. FSU was also ranked No. 6 in Monday’s USA Today Coaches Poll. The Seminoles haven’t missed a beat from last season’s Sweet 16 team that featured two NBA Draft picks. Since its season-opening defeat at Pittsburgh, FSU has won 16 of 17 and is riding a nine-game win streak. The Seminoles, who haven't lost since playing Indiana in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge the first week of December, are also in a first-place tie with Louisville in the ACC standings. Their next game is Saturday at home against Notre Dame (11-6, 2-4). To say craziness abounds this season is an understatement. Baylor, at No. 1 this week in the AP poll, is the seventh team on top this season. That matches the record set in 1983 for the most No. 1s in the history of the poll, which dates to the 1948-49 season. “It’s the first time when you can clearly say there are no favorites to win the NCAA Tournament,” former FSU coach Pat Kennedy said Monday from his New Jersey home. “It’s not so much people getting beat, but how they are getting beat. This is one of Leonard’s best overall teams I think since he has been there. They have tremendous experience. These kids are confident.” Seven top-25 teams in the Associated Press poll lost last Saturday, including three of the top-5. Six were steamrolled by double digits by unranked opponents. FSU, meanwhile, jumped four spots in the poll after it beat reigning national champion Virginia at home and survived overtime at Miami, rallying from a nine-point deficit with five minutes remaining. The Seminoles won despite shooting 42 percent and committing 16 turnovers. They may not always rely on style points, but it's difficult to argue with the results.

“When you watch them, they are tough, they are versatile, they are gritty – they get the job done,” former Seminole (1988-93) and Tallahassee resident Byron Wells said. “To me, it seems like somebody different is stepping up every game. When you think about our teams compared to this one. … we didn’t play defense like this one. The game was different when I played. It’s so much more physical now.” Sophomore 6-foot-7 guard Devin Vassell has emerged as the Seminoles’ go-to player. He is averaging 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals while shooting 39.1% from 3-point range in the past five games. He finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals in the overtime victory over the Hurricanes. Still, FSU has relied on the toughness and unselfishness Durham stressed. Ten players are averaging double-digit minutes played. Three are averaging in double figures, led by Vassell at 13.2 points per game, followed by Trent Forrest (11.8) and M.J. Walker (11.6). The Seminoles are outscoring opponents by 11.9 points per game (75.5 to 63.6) to rank third in the ACC behind Duke and Louisville. They are also 9-0 at home, 59-3 in their last 62 games. NCAA Tournament bracket projections have pegged the Seminoles as high as a No. 2 seed. FSU has never won a national title in men’s basketball. “Leonard’s team is one that always seems to find a way to win games,” said Kennedy, who led the Seminoles to the Elite Eight in 1992-93. “Look what’s already happened this season. Florida State is going to have a good shot at it (national title).” Hamilton, in his 18th season at FSU, hasn’t’ shown any signs of slowing down at age 71. FSU Athletics Director David Coburn told the Democrat last week that the school is working toward a contract extension for the winningest head coach in in program history. Hamilton’s contract expires in April. “Leonard looks like he’s 40,” Wells said and laughed. “We are blessed to have him here. I am so proud of the type of kids he has in the program. They represent the university so well. He has done such an amazing job of putting his program together and keeping it going.”
