Leonard Hamilton Seminoles Enter Sweet 16 In A Defensive State Of Mind

Leonard Hamilton will lead his Florida State Seminoles into the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. Florida State #10 seed will take on #11 VCU for the right to move on to the Elite 8. The Seminoles stormed into Chicago and the United Center during the opening weekend of the NCAA's. FSU is the ACC leading defensive team in terms of points per game and field goal percentage. The Noles defeated Texas A&M & Notre Dame only giving up 50 and 57 points respectively. This great defensive was played mostly without the Seminoles leader Chris Singleton. Singleton played limited minutes over the weekend after playing his first pair of games after missing several weeks after a lower body injury. Kitchen and Singletary are the only FSU players that average double figures, obviously this team makes their living on the defensive end. There is a potential Elite 8 matchup between FSU and Kansas. Could you imagine Noles defense vs. Jayhawks offense. However Richmond and VCU both teams from Richmond,VA will have something to say about that. You never know, it could be an all city of Richmond Elite 8.
