2017 NCAA Tournament Selection Show Information:

Here are the latest projections according to a couple of services for FSU basketball heading into Selection Sunday:
- USA Today: Midwest Bracket playing in Kansas, FSU No. 2 seed taking on No. 15 CSU Bakersfield
- ESPN: West Bracket playing in Orlando, FSU No. 3 seed taking on No. 14 Winthrop
The No. 1 projected seed for the Midwest Bracket is Kansas and FSU could face either Xavier or St. Mary’s in the second round.
Other teams like West Virginia, Wisconsin, Purdue and Michigan State are projected to be in that Midwest Bracket.
In the West bracket the No. 1 projected seed would be Gonzaga and FSU could face either Iowa State or Middle Tennessee State in the second round.
Other teams like Florida, Virginia Tech, Oregon and Creighton are projected to be in that West Bracket.
Thoughts
It doesn’t matter which bracket FSU goes. Ultimately, FSU’s toughest opponent is themselves as they are wildly inconsistent at times and that has cost them several times this season.
Either they can’t make free throws, turn the ball over too much or allow teams to light them up from long-range. If they can be consistently good in two of those three areas, they will have a chance to make a deep run in the tournament.
