Florida State (16-7, 7-4 ACC) seeks to continue its success in the series with Pittsburgh (7-16, 1-9) when the teams face off on Thursday. The game tips off at 7 p.m. at the Peterson Events Center and will be streamed live on ACC Network Extra.

It’s a crucial seven-game stretch for Florida State Women’s Basketball to finish up the regular season, starting with a road game at Pittsburgh on Thursday night at 7 p.m. The Seminoles (16-7, 7-4) are 10-0 all-time against the Panthers (7-16, 1-9), with every matchup being since 2014 when Pitt joined the ACC starting in the 2013-14 academic year.

The Seminoles secured a Top 40 NET win on Sunday at home when they defeated rival Miami, 75-68. Florida State owns four NET Top 50 wins on its season resume, all at home: vs. No. 18 Virginia Tech (89-81), No. 29 UNC (70-62), No. 36 Miami (75-68) and No. 49 Tennessee (92-91). Against teams ranked 26-50, the Seminoles are 3-1.

FSU got back to its fourth-quarter dominance, outscoring the Hurricanes 19-11. It held Miami to just two points over the game’s last 5 1/2 minutes, getting stops on each of its last eight defensive possessions to end the game.

Junior forward Makayla Timpson completed her 10th double-double of the season against Miami, leading the Noles with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Timpson becomes the sixth Seminole to record multiple seasons with 10 or more double-doubles, joining Natasha Howard, Kiah Gillespie, Cherry Rivers, Brenda Cliette and Chantelle Dishman.
