On Wednesday, the No.7 ranked Florida State Seminoles will visit Purcell Pavilion in South Bend, Indiana for an Atlantic Coast Conference tilt against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Florida State dropped to 24-5 overall and 14-4 in the ACC following its 70-69 loss to the Clemson Tigers on Saturday. The loss knocked Florida State a half-game behind first-place Louisville in the ACC standings.

Florida State has three players averaging double-figures in scoring.

Notre Dame dropped to 18-11 overall and 9-9 in the ACC following its 84-73 loss on Saturday to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The loss hurt the Fighting Irish's chances of being selected for the NCAA tournament. Prior to the loss Notre Dame had won three straight and seven of its last nine.
