FSU is coming into this game with a 14-12 record overall and they are 3-7 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. This will be their 17th conference matchup of the year and they are currently 7-9 in their conference games this season. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. Their last win was against the Clemson Tigers while their 7 losses in that span came against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, the Virginia Tech Hokies, the Clemson Tigers, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, the Pittsburgh Panthers, the North Carolina Tar Heels, and the Duke Blue Devils in their last game. Matthew Cleveland led the team in points in that game with 16 while Jalen Warley was next on the team with 15 points. Warley also led the team in assists in that game with 6 and he led the team in rebounds with 7. They were 50% from the field, 31.6% from 3-point range, and 61.5% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 71.6 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 71.3 PPG against them. FSU has an ATS record of 8-17-1 this season and their O/U record is 14-12.

 

 

BC is coming into this game with a 9-16 record overall and they are 8-5 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 16th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 4-11 in their conference games this season. They have lost 7 of their last 8 games and are coming into this one on a 5 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Pittsburgh Panthers while their 5 losses since then came against the Virginia Cavaliers, the Syracuse Orange, the Duke Blue Devils, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Syracuse again in their last game. James Karnik led the team in points in that game with 11 while DeMarr Langford Jr. and Quinten Post off the bench were both next on the team with 10 points each. Makai Ashton-Langford led the team in assists in that game with 4 while Karnik led the team in rebounds with 11. They were 34.8% from the field, 17.9% from 3-point range, and 83.3% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 65.8 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 68.2 PPG against them. BC has an ATS record of 12-13 this season and their O/U record is 12-12-1.

 

FSU has been keeping up in their games this season but they are only 7-9 against conference opponents this season and they have not been good on the road either with a 3-7 record. They have been playing awful in their recent games though and they have lost 7 of their last 8 games with their 1 win coming against a Clemson team that is near the bottom of the ACC and they won that game at home by just 1 point. They are going up against a BC team that has also been awful as they are 4-11 against conference opponents this season but they have been decent at home this season with an 8-5 record. They have lost 5 straight games but they have not been awful in some of those games and they have been keeping up in their home games as well against some very good teams. FSU is the better team here and they desperately need a win here but BC has not been a pushover at home this season and they will likely keep this game a little closer. FSU will get the win here but with how bad they have been recently they will only win this game by single digits.
