FSU (15-10, 6-8 ACC) is back on the court to face Miami (6-19, 2-12) on Wednesday at 9 p.m. The game will be televised on the ACC Network. FSU will wear its turquoise uniforms for the game.
Mentioned this before the Clemson game, but who knows what to expect game to game (or half to half) from the Seminoles. FSU might have played its best half with 51 points to rally at Wake and then turns in 46 points in a full game (19 in the first half) in the lopsided 26-point loss to Clemson.
FSU last had such a low output in a loss to Harvard in 2011, scoring 41 points, as well as three 44-point games (two in the 2010-11 season and one to Virginia in the 2015 ACC Tournament).
We've questioned the leadership and accountability among players with this team. It will continue to be a storyline the rest of the way.
Chandler Jackson has a turned ankle, Hamilton said on Monday. He said Jackson would go easier in practices.
The Seminoles have won 13 of the last 14 games in the series vs. Miami, including the last four games. If FSU wins Wednesday, Hamilton would pick up his 199th ACC regular season victory. Only four coaches have hit 200 or more.
Miami is led by FSU transfer Matthew Cleveland, who has helped the team pick up both of its ACC wins in February. He had 32 points on 10 of 13 shooting in the win over Syracuse in Coral Gables, but he was then held to eight points on 4 of 16 in a road loss to Pittsburgh.
The Hurricanes have not won a road game, picking up just neutral site victories early in the season. They are very good shooting inside the arc (55.9 percent, 37th in Division I) but are poor from 3-point range (32.3 percent, 256th in DI). Nijel Pack continues to be out for Miami due to injury.
By comparison, FSU makes 52.3 percent (132nd in DI) of it shots inside the arc and 31.8 percent (274th in DI) from 3-point range.
This is the start of a condensed schedule with three games in six days for FSU. There's a road trip to Louisville on Saturday at noon and then back home for a Monday game with UNC at 7 p.m.
Jamir Watkins has 1,486 career points and 964 points at FSU.
FSU will honor coach Hamilton before the final home game on March 8 against SMU, which is coached by Andy Enfield (an FSU assistant from 2006-11).
