TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – A late scoring run in the fourth quarter helped push the Florida State women’s basketball team (10-7, 9-7) to a win over Wake Forest (11-11, 8-10), 59-51, in its home finale on Sunday afternoon at the Donald L. Tucker Center. This is the Seminoles’ ninth win over the Demon Deacons in their last 10 matchups and their fifth consecutive win against them at home.
The big win by FSU gives it another Top-50 NET win as it continues to put itself in prime position for an NCAA Tournament berth.
And that s how we close out the season at home.
Thursday’s game is another big opportunity for the Seminoles in terms of NET wins. Georgia Tech comes to Tallahassee 25th in the NET while FSU is 48th. FSU owns solid NET wins this year at Virginia Tech (27th), at North Carolina (37th) and home vs. Syracuse (42nd).
FSU’s offensive performance last game vs. Miami was pretty efficient. The four double-figure scorers for the Seminoles (Kourtney Weber: 15, Jackson: 13, Sammie Puisis: 12, Valencia Myers, 12) were their most since also having four in double digits at Virginia Tech on Dec. 31.
Over the last four games, opponents have shot just 20 percent (18-of-90) from beyond the arc. Over the first nine games, opponents were shooting 33.8 percent (48-of-142). FSU went from last in the ACC in 3-point field goal percentage defense to seventh since the start of 2021.
