Why Florida State can cover
The Seminoles got off to an abysmal start this season with losses in nine of their first 10 games. However, they managed to play Virginia tough in their ACC opener and then got a dominant conference win over Louisville on Dec. 10. Caleb Mills had 16 points in the 75-53 win over the Cardinals and Matthew Cleveland had 12 points and eight rebounds.
Florida State followed that up with an 80-63 win over USC Upstate just three days later and Cleveland had a double-double on 16 points and 10 rebounds, while five Seminoles reached double figures. FSU has now won two of its last three games and has held three of its last four opponents to less than 65 points.
Why Notre Dame can cover
Notre Dame began the season with five consecutive wins before losing four of six against a tougher portion of the schedule. However, Brey has to like the balanced scoring he's received, as five Notre Dame players currently average in double figures.
The Fighting Irish shoot the ball well, ranking 34th nationally in hitting 38.6% of their 3-point attempts. Leading scorer Nate Laszewski is averaging 15.4 points per game and shooting 42.2% from beyond the arc while Cormac Ryan is averaging 12.7 points and shooting 45.1% from deep. Dane Goodwin has also been dialed in from deep, averaging 12.0 points and shooting 47.4% from downtown.
