FSU Basketball: Top 4 Reasons Noles Have Dominated Early Season

The FSU basketball team is off to their best start in seven seasons. We examine how they’ve been successful and ask: is it sustainable? 

Whether or not you are still on the fence about this year’s edition of Florida State basketball, even the most ardent doubters must agree on one thing. And that’s that so far, this season has been different than the previous four. You know, the four years in which FSU basketball missed the NCAA Tournament, and played a very ugly, very forgettable, brand of basketball.

Currently, the team boasts a 10-1 record. They have a potent offense that will only continue to improve. And despite playing a lot of first-year guys, the Seminoles have a newfound commitment to defense which had been missing for a while.

The ‘Noles just got a big win against rival-Florida on Sunday. And it’s a victory that could loom large with the selection committee come March.

According to ESPN, the Seminoles presently have an 82 percent chance of making the tournament. And before beating Florida, Joe Lunardi had them as a 7-seed.

That’s all to say, right now, FSU is in a great place. Let’s figure out how we have gotten to this point. And just to play devil’s advocate, we can try to figure out whether this is sustainable or not.
