FSU Steps Into Hoops Spotlight

Posted Mar 15, 2009
The Seminoles are one game away from winning the ACC championship in basketball after knocking off North Carolina 73-70 in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament. Toney Douglas made another statement about who he thinks should have won the ACC’s Player of the Year honor, which went to UNC’s Ty Lawson. Lawson’s absence while dealing with an injured big toe certainly had something to do with UNC’s performance, but FSU deserves credit for advancing. (Buster Sports)
