FSU sports information:

Florida State fans can tip off the Leon County Schools Winter Break on the right note by celebrating Holiday Hoops on Wednesday between No. 21 Florida State (8-3) and Alabama State (0-9) at 6 p.m. at the Tucker Center.

Fans can get photos with Santa Cimarron in the concourse by the Northwest Box Office Entrance (sections 122/123), and a toy drive will be held to bring unopened toys to donate at the Northwest Entrance and East Entrance of the Tucker Center.

Florida State and Alabama State will play for the seventh time in series history, with FSU winning each of the last four and holding a 4-2 overall record against the Lady Hornets. The two teams last played on March 21, 2015, in an NCAA first round win for the Seminoles (91-49) that gave FSU a record-setting 30th victory that year.

The 2014-15 team finished 32-5 and remains the most accomplished team in program history, with current assistant coach Morgan Toles (then a graduate assistant) and head coach Brooke Wyckoff (then an assistant coach) on staff back then.

The Seminoles’ home game against Alabama State is their final non-conference game of the regular season. It will complete a tough pre-ACC slate that included three AP Top 25 opponents and six Power-5 opponents in a 12-game schedule.

FSU opens ACC play just after the holidays at home against Georgia Tech on Dec. 29 at 2 p.m. in a game where the first 100 fans receive a free Let’s Go Noles T-shirt.

FSU ranks second in the ACC averaging 7.9 made three-point field goals per game. The Seminoles own a 30-3 record at home in non-conference games since the start of the 2018-19 season.

FSU is coming off a 76-56 road win at Drexel on Sunday, getting a team-leading 22 points from sophomore guard Ta’Niya Latson. The Noles were +30 in points in the paint differential (46-16), their largest margin of the season.

The Seminoles lead the ACC in lowest turnovers per game at 11.5, a mark that is also ninth nationally. The average is made more impressive by the fact that FSU generates 77 possessions per game.
