Troy @ Florida State

Current Records: Troy 2-0; Florida State 0-2

What to Know

The Florida State Seminoles will take on the Troy Trojans at 7 p.m. ET Monday at home. Troy will be strutting in after a victory while the Seminoles will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The game between FSU and the UCF Knights this past Friday was not a total blowout, but with FSU falling 68-54 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard Cam'Ron Fletcher wasn't much of a difference maker for FSU; Fletcher finished with 11 points on 5-for-16 shooting and turned the ball over five times in his 32 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Troy simply couldn't be stopped this past Thursday, as they easily beat the MUW Owls at home 96-42.

FSU is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.

The Seminoles are now 0-2 while the Trojans sit at a mirror-image 2-0. Two last-season numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: FSU ranks 25th in college basketball when it comes to steals given up per game, with only 5.9 on average. But Troy comes into the contest boasting the 14th most steals per game in college basketball at 7.9. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
