What you need to know about Florida State
The Seminoles skirted by the Virginia Cavaliers 64-63 this past Saturday thanks to a clutch half-court bomb from guard Matthew Cleveland with one second left to play. FSU relied on forward Harrison Prieto, who had 14 points along with six rebounds, and Cleveland, who finished with 20 points.
Anthony Polite (9.7 ppg, 5.5 rpg), injured his wrist in FSU’s Feb. 2 loss to Clemson, and isn’t expected back for another week-or-two. Caleb Mills (12.7 ppg, 2.5 apg) has missed the last four games after hurting his ankle early against North Carolina on Feb. 12. Cleveland has been the most consistent player for FSU in their absences, and has averaged 16 points with three rebounds over the last five games.
What you need to know about Notre Dame
Meanwhile, Notre Dame was fully in charge this past Saturday and breezed by Georgia Tech 90-56 at home. Four players on Notre Dame scored in double-figures: Guards Dane Goodwin (17 points), Blake Wesley (15), Prentiss Hubb (13), and forward Paul Atkinson (10). Wesley and Goodwin have been the top producers for the Irish this season, as the former averages 14.7 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, while the latter averages 14.4 points and 4.8 boards.
Notre Dame comes into the matchup ranked second in the ACC standings, and makes the most three-points in conference play this season, with 9.5 per game. Goodwin is the team’s most dangerous shooter from distance and has hit 62-of-136 attempts from downtown. Nate Laszewski has also been strong from beyond the arc and has made 44.1 percent of his three-pointers. Both should be looking forward to Wednesday against an FSU team that has allowed opponents to hit 37.5 percent of their three-pointers in conference play this season.
