After a brief dive into conference play last month at North Carolina, the Florida State men's basketball team dives into the deep end of ACC play Wednesday night vs. Georgia Tech. The Seminoles (6-6, 0-1) host the Yellow Jackets (8-4, 1-0) Wednesday at 7 p.m. (ACC Network) at the Tucker Civic Center for their home ACC opener. It's the first of 19 consecutive conference games to close out the regular season for the Seminoles and the fifth game of FSU's current seven-game homestand.
For FSU, it's a chance to bounce back after their two-game winning streak was snapped last Saturday in a 78-75 home loss to Lipscomb. Sophomore forward Cam Corhen returned to action in that game after missing the previous five games due to injury, but the Seminoles allowed Lipscomb to shoot 11 of 23 from outside the arc, building a big early lead and holding off a late FSU comeback to pull off the upset and send the Seminoles back to .500 on the season.
Senior Darin Green Jr. enters Wednesday’s game against Georgia Tech ranked seventh nationally among current players with 332 career 3-point shots made. He and Joseph Girard III of Clemson are both ranked in the top seven nationally among current players. Girard has made 335 career 3-point shots.
