They haven't been great at home this year with just a 5-5 home record but they are also 5-4 in their conference games which means they have been playing some of their best basketball against conference opponents over the last few weeks. Miami has been having a great season as they are 15-4 overall and 6-3 in their conference games, but they have struggled in their road games this season with just a 3-3 road record and Florida State will bring their best effort here on their home court for this heated rivalry. Florida State has been getting better and better in every game over the last few weeks and they are going to be a tough team to beat at home in such a big rivalry game here when they will be pushing for the upset.

“I thought the first half was pretty well-played by both teams. The result was a 38-38 tie. But I thought we got out of character in the second half. We took way too many difficult shots. No assists, everything off the bounce. I think that led to really good defense by Duke’s team. Some blocked shots. I don't know what Jeremy Roach’s toe situation is, but I wish we had played him last week.” - Jim Larranaga after his team’s loss against Duke in their last game.

"We've made tremendous improvement since the beginning of the year. This is the first time I haven't had a third- or fourth-year player on this team. We're not the team we intended to have. ... We're a team that's evolving and we haven't reached close to our potential. Darin gave us a tremendous lift." - Leonard Hamilton on his team this season.
