FSU Basketball: Previewing season opener vs North Florida
What to expect
North Florida has struggled to score this season so far outside of Hendricksen. If the Seminoles cannot only stifle him but get their offense going early, they should win this game going away.
Through three games, North Florida has averaged 27 second-half points per game, so building a big first half is certainly key for Florida State in this one.
Realistically, this is not a game that I expect Florida State to lose, but they also cannot afford to open up the season flat.
As tantalizing as it is to look ahead to a big-time matchup next week against Indiana, FSU has to take care of business tonight.
