9:00 p.m. ET: Pennsylvania Quakers (0-0) at Florida State Seminoles (0-0)
Spread: Florida State -19.5
Total: 147
The #20th ranked Seminoles will open head coach Leonard Hamilton’s 20th campaign with the school on Wednesday by hosting the Penn Quakers, who haven’t played a game in 20 months. The Quakers, along with their seven opponents in the Ivy League, were shut down when the conference set a precedent last November by deciding to cancel all of its winter sports due to COVID-19. The Quakers were picked fourth in the eight-team Ivy League’s preseason poll. Florida State was picked second in the ACC preseason poll and they will lean on top returning scorer Anthony Polite (10.1 points per game) and Houston transfer Caleb Mills, who led the Cougars in 2019-20 by averaging 13.2 points. Florida State also has the size in the post with 7-footers Tanor Ngom, Naheem McLeod, John Butler, and Quincy Ballard. This is going to be a tough opening game for the Quakers in Tallahassee, look for FSU to dominate the glass for a big win.
