Why not us? That’s the mantra for this year’s basketball team and after last night’s win over Gonzaga the question is becoming more difficult to answer. FSU fans and former players were on cloud nine after last night’s win.

FSU will once again be an underdog this Saturday when they tip-off against Michigan this Saturday at 8:40pm and it’s something they’re more than used to as they have actually beaten the highest seeds possible (8, 1, & 4) in its road to the elite eight. So when they ask if ninth-seeded FSU can beat third-seeded Michigan to get to the Final Four I guess you should only respond, ‘Why not us?’
