FSU Basketball: Impact of postponed games due to COVID-19

COVID-19 postpones multiple FSU Basketball games

In a season where we all expected some curveballs thrown at the college basketball season, perhaps no other team in the nation has been hit as hard with game postponements as the FSU  basketball program.

More than halfway through the twenty-five game season before getting into the conference and NCAA tournaments, the Noles have had a total of six games postponed – five of those being conference games, including Pitt twice. Conference play is some of the most meaningful games when it comes to seeding in the conference tournament, and when you’re in a conference such as the Atlantic Coast Conference every game just means that much more.

With seven remaining ACC games on the schedule and the postponed ones TBD, the Seminoles look for ways to improve their season full of challenges as they get closer to March. As I work my way through this piece, I plan to show the impacts the postponements and pauses have, and can have on the FSU basketball team.

FSU basketball holds the second spot in the ACC rankings, but with a strong possibility of cancellations and consistency of play off of the breaks and during games, the squad will have an uphill battle to climb. Seeding is very important when it comes to both the ACC and NCAA tournaments respectfully, and being able to right the ship that is rust and trying to fit in as many of these postponed games will be vital to the success of the 2020-2021 FSU basketball team.
