Florida State (7-2) basketball travels to Louisville (9-2) tonight after a strong week in the Tucker Center. The Seminoles picked up wins against NC State and North Carolina after a week-plus layoff due to Covid-19 issues. Despite the strong week, the Seminoles didn’t move into the top 25 of the AP poll. The Cardinals are also unranked, but are third in the conference with a 4-1 ACC record.
FSU is looking for their fourth straight win over the Cardinals, which would be their longest winning streak for FSU in the series history. The Seminoles swept the season series in convincing fashion last year, with two double-digit wins. Senior Trent Forrest capped off the season series with a thunderous slam over Jordan Nwora in the Tucker Center.

The Seminoles will sport their home white uniforms on the road. Louisville is 6-0 at home this season, but FSU has won their last two trips to Louisville.
