Tomahawk Nation, a Florida State Seminoles community

The hype has already started and it looks like the Seminoles will be under the microscope this year. With the foundation of Solomon Alabi, expectations are high for the young FSU squad. However, with one year of experience under this young core's belt, expectations should be high. Who is in your top 25?

The Seminoles will take on Iona in the first round of the 2009 Old Spice Classic Basketball tournament that runs from November 26th to 29th at Walt Disney World. The first game will be televised on ESPNU. Other teams in the tournament include: Michigan, Alabama, Xavier, Marquette, Creighton and Baylor. If the Seminoles make it to the finals, which will be televised on ESPN2, they could face Michigan, Marquette or Xavier. The rest of the 2009 schedule will be announced later in August.

Let's hope this isn't their way of letting Toney down easy before giving the ACC Player of the Year to someone from the Carolina schools. Update: And they did let him down easy...Ty Lawson ACC Player of the Year. Toney ran away with the Defensive Player of the Year Award. Solomon Alabi received 3 votes. Leonard Hamilton was named ACC Coach of the Year, running away with that vote as well. Congrats Toney and Leonard! Take a look in the comments section for a break down of the stats. Congrats, Toney!

Congrats big fella...we're going to need you to play the game of your life tomorrow as we head into Duke.

Let's help Toney get the recognition he deserves. Vote for Toney...
