The Stetson Hatters and Florida State Seminoles meet Monday in college basketball action at the Donald L. Tucker Center. The Stetson Hatters are coming off a 14-win season. The Florida State Seminoles are coming off a 17-win season.
The Stetson Hatters have won a combined 37 games the last 3 years. Stephan Swenson returns after averaging 7.2 points and 1.7 rebounds, while Josh Smith averaged 7.1 points and 1 assist. Mahamadou Diawara played in 524 minutes last season, and Alvin Tumblin averaged 3.2 rebounds. The Stetson Hatters will miss all three of their double-digit scorers from last season, but the role players from last year return. Swenson has a chance to step up into the key player role after improving his first two seasons and racking up 40 career starts.
The Florida State Seminoles enter the 21st season under coach Leonard Hamilton. Caleb Mills returns after averaging 12.7 points and 2.4 rebounds, while Matthew Cleveland averaged 11.5 points and 1.2 assists. Naheem McLeod played in 199 minutes last season, and Cam’Ron Fletcher averaged 3.4 rebounds. The Florida State Seminoles FSU returns its top-2 scorers from last season and has an NBA prospect in McLeod. The Seminoles also have an impressive recruiting class in Baba Miller, De’Ante Green, Cameron Corden and Chandler Jackson. After missing the big dance last year, there should be a chip on the shoulder of the Florida State Seminoles.
The Hatters are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 road games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 Monday games. The Seminoles are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 home games and 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The over is 7-3 in Hatters last 10 overall. The over is 4-0 in Seminoles last 4 overall.
The Stetson Hatters have a lot of production to replace, and they just don’t have the athletes or the size to hang with a team as big and talented as FSU. The Florida State Seminoles are as stacked as they’ve been in years, and they should have some motivation after missing out on the big dance last year. This has the potential to get ugly for the Hatters. I’ll lay the chalk, as FSU rolls in its opener.
