1. Give us a brief synopsis of what the Florida State season has looked like so far? The highs? The lows?

"Well, FSU started off the season great as they blazed through non-conference play with the lone blemish coming against now No. 14 ranked Villanova. However, the Noles caught no breaks when they entered conference play having to open on the road against Virginia while playing Miami and Duke within a weeks span. They were ranked as high as No. 9 after basically giving a win to Duke because they fumbled a rebound out of bounds. The lowest point of the season were the back-to-back losses to Pittsburgh and Boston College after the Duke loss. The Pittsburgh loss was sorta predictable on the road after a loss at the buzzer and Boston College thought it was NBA Jam “He’s On Fire” from beyond the arc in that game. All in in all, FSU has played fairly well while playing without its leading scorer from last season Phil Cofer for a good part of the season as he recovered from injury. They’ve seemed to put it together the last couple of games as roles on the team are becoming more defined and Leonard Hamilton dials in his rotation."
