Quoting Florida State Basketball “Florida State won its first ACC Championship, lost three crucial players -- two of whom were first-round NBA draft picks -- and may have gotten even better. Should FSU pull it off and win another regular-season ACC Championship -- a far likelier proposition after Monday's win over UVA -- FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton would join a shortlist of ACC coaches. He would become just the third ACC coach this century to consecutive outright ACC Championships, joining Virginia's Tony Bennett and North Carolina's Roy Williams.”

Curt Weiler Tallahassee Democrat

“Florida State is unlike a lot of teams you’ll play. They make every catch hard, they switch every single screen, ball screen, off ball screen, they force you to spread the court, touch the paint and get a little bit aggressive to make the next pass. Their athleticism and their size is real.”

Tony Bennett University of Virginia

“Another reason to be bullish on Florida State: 10 of the Seminoles’ 13 scholarship players are juniors and seniors. Experience wins. Especially during a pandemic.”

Jon Rothstein CBS Sports

“Let’s make this very clear: RaiQuan Gray is NOT being compared to Draymond Green. But it’s hard not to watch him play and feel like he’s emerging into the Seminoles’ version of the former Michigan State and current Golden State Warriors star. The 6-8, 260 pound forward has recalibrated his body and refined his game. Now a bouncy, nimble point forward, the redshirt junior is arguably the most indispensable player on the Seminoles’ roster simply because he simply can’t be replicated. Over his last three games, Gray is averaging 20.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and three assists. This kid could emerge into a national star over the next month.”

Jon Rothstein CBS Sports

“After a COVID-19 pause last month, Florida State burst from the gate with five consecutive victories, four of them blowouts. The Seminoles’ return from their second virus break was more measured: an overtime survival Saturday against visiting Wake Forest. Monday (against Virginia) was more indicative of their (Florida State’s) potential.”

David Teel Richmond Times Dispatch

“Florida State showed it is worthy of another ACC Championship Monday night. In a long-awaited showdown of the ACC's top two teams, the No. 16 Seminoles jumped all over No. 8 Virginia. FSU was out to a 20-point lead with over six minutes left in the first half on the way to an extremely comfortable 81-60 win over the Cavaliers.”

Sardaar Calhoun Took Winding Road From Tappahannock To Tallahassee By David Teel Richmond Times Dispatch February 15, 2021 From Tappahannock to St. George to West Plains, Mo., Sardaar Calhoun followed a circuitous path to his first season with Florida State’s basketball program. He wouldn’t change a thing. Not the three years at Essex High in his native Tappahannock. Not the reclassification and two seasons at the Blue Ridge School in St. George, near Charlottesville. And not the venture west to Missouri State University-West Plains, the community college where he played two years. “I think I’m naturally a patient person,” Calhoun said. “I grew up in a praying family, and prayer doesn’t work overnight. The route that I’ve taken, it’s been a long journey, but it’s been worth it.” Calhoun’s patience extended to Florida State, where his role was unclear when the season began. But as the Seminoles prepare for Monday’s ACC showdown against first-place Virginia, Calhoun is among a handful of reserves providing the quality depth for which Leonard Hamilton’s program is renowned. A 6-foot-6, 220-pound junior guard, Calhoun scored 40 points combined in FSU’s first 10 games. He’s scored 31 in the last four, including a season-best 14 in a rout of Clemson. Calhoun is among nine Seminoles averaging at least 4.9 points and 13 minutes. Couple that depth with FSU’s typical athleticism, length and defensive chops and you have a roster capable of winning the ACC regular season — the Seminoles are the reigning champions — and/or tournament and making considerable noise in the NCAA bracket. “Sardaar has been fan-TAS-tic in practice,” Hamilton said. “He’s worked his butt off. It’s not easy for a junior college player who’s had a certain amount of success in junior college to come into a program that has a system like we have offensively and defensively, where everything is in sync, and make that adjustment. … “I’m very pleased, and I tell him all the time [that] our program will advance in direct proportion to how well our players 6-11 [in the rotation] improve.” Senior M.J. Walker, redshirt juniors RaiQuan Gray and Anthony Polite, touted freshman Scottie Barnes and 7-1, 260-pound sophomore Balsa Koprivica provide FSU’s starting group an effective blend of experience and youth, the age especially helpful during this pandemic season’s constant twists. The Seminoles have paused twice because of COVID-19 concerns, but they won five consecutive games after their first stoppage and returned from their second with a 92-85 overtime escape against Wake Forest. At 38.7%, FSU is on pace to have its best 3-point shooting year since 1988, and Calhoun is an integral reason. He’s made 13 of 30 beyond the arc, 43.3% accuracy that mirrors his 44.3% rate at West Plains, where he averaged 18.6 points. Calhoun credits Blue Ridge assistant coach Parker Kirwan for extending his range and does not regret prolonging his high school career by a year to elevate his game. Blue Ridge not only offered more challenging opponents but also daily competition with teammates such as Aamir Simms (Clemson) and Darius McGhee (Liberty). Still, Calhoun wasn’t tempted by scholarship offers from Radford, James Madison and East Tennessee State. He aspired to more and decided that Missouri State-West Plains could get him there.

That it did. West Plain teammates elected Calhoun a captain each of his two seasons, and his performance earned offers from the likes of Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Seton Hall. “I was just so, I didn’t get teary-eyed, but I just got a chill and thought, ‘Wow I’ve affected a lot of people with my voice and encouragement,’” Calhoun said of his captaincy at West Plains. “They saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself.” Calhoun took that enthusiasm — you can hear it in his voice — to Florida State. “His energy is just contagious,” fifth-year senior Justin Lindner said. “He’s always a happy person and gives great vibes wherever he goes. … [Coaches are] being hard on him because they want him to be great and they want him to play big minutes. … His patience has been remarkable.” Lindner is a walk-on and aims to be a college head coach. He and Calhoun are so close they’re already plotting for Calhoun to join Lindner’s staff after Calhoun’s professional career. Given that he’s averaging 5.1 points and 13.3 minutes, projecting Calhoun to the NBA or another pro league may seem a stretch. But consider Florida State’s recent history. Devin Vassell averaged 4.5 points and 10.7 minutes as a Seminoles freshman in 2018-19, nearly tripled those numbers last season and was the 11th pick of the NBA draft. Two other first-round draft choices from FSU, Mfiondu Kabengele and Patrick Williams, never started a game for the Seminoles. “I always knew I was pretty good,” Calhoun said, “so I didn’t lose hope or anything. It was just a matter of time when I was going to play at that level where everyone was going to see me. Not being cocky, but I knew I could play at a higher level than the schools that reached out to me [after Blue Ridge].” Calhoun cherishes his Tappahannock roots and the love he said the community shows him still. He’s equally grateful for the opportunity to play for an ACC contender, one capable of earning FSU’s second Final Four appearance — the Seminoles lost the 1972 title game to Bill Walton and UCLA after defeating North Carolina in the semifinals — and the first for Hamilton, a revered coaching lifer. “I think we can be one of the best teams [ever] at Florida State,” Calhoun said. “Honestly, when we’re out there, we’re playing for the letters on the front of our jersey. We don’t have one guy on the team who thinks they’re bigger than [the others]. … “It kind of gives me chills just thinking about it, you mentioning the Final Four, because we’re at the stretch point [of the season]. But I think we can really do it.”

A For Accountability: How 5th-Year Walk-Ons Play Vital Role In FSU Success Ira Schoffel Warchant February 16, 2021 If a text message exchange could define what is so unique about the Florida State men's basketball team, and help explain some of the Seminoles' unprecedented success, this one was it. On one end was five-star freshman Scottie Barnes. On the other was fifth-year walk-on Justin Lindner. "I need you to be on me more," Barnes implored his older but lesser-known teammate. "I want to be great, and I want this team to be great." Barnes is one of the most decorated freshmen in college basketball and an expected lottery pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He's a 6-foot, 9-inch point guard averaging 10.2 points, 4.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game for the No. 16 team in the country. Lindner is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound walk-on whose greatest individual achievements at FSU include scoring four points against Chicago State in 2019 and earning a bachelor's degree in applied mathematics last May. Yet it is Barnes who is not only accepting basketball advice and constructive criticism from Lindner, but soliciting it. And the story is the same throughout the Seminoles' program. Florida State has four fifth-year senior walk-ons on the roster -- Lindner, Travis Light, Will Miles and Harrison Prieto -- and while they rarely see extended action on the court, they all have become major factors in the rise of the Seminoles' program. "Those guys are all graduate students," FSU head coach Leonard Hamilton said. "They have been part of our system for four or five years. So they know all of the principles that we emphasize. And the guys in our program want to be called out because they want to be held accountable. So those fifth-year seniors are able to help us with that during practice and games." Over time, they essentially have become extensions of the coaching staff, and they each have designated "accountability partners" that they help. Lindner is paired with the point guards -- Barnes, RayQuan Evans and "point forward" RaiQuan Gray. Light's main guys are the shooting guards, while Miles and Prieto work primarily with the forwards and centers. During offseason workouts, they help demonstrate fundamentals -- particularly when new players arrive in the program. During practices, they typically participate on the scout team and run the opponents' offense and defense. And during games, they provide extra sets of eyes and ears for the coaching staff. They digest every detail of the Seminoles' game plan for a specific opponent, and then watch from the bench to make sure the scholarship players are executing that plan correctly. "We have a certain way we like to close out [on shooters], a certain way we want to switch screens," Hamilton said. "And if someone doesn't do those things correctly, someone else will hold them accountable. We call each other out." Each of the walk-ons takes his own personal approach to delivering those messages.

When one of the players in his group comes out of a game, Miles said he usually waits for them to get a drink and to catch their breath. "A lot of times, I'll start off by asking what they see, and then I'll tell them what I see," said Miles, whose father, Bobby, and uncle Blake Miles both played at FSU. "That kind of helps bridge the gap, because it's a different experience when you're off the court versus when you're on the court." Miles, who is pursuing his master's degree in finance, also tries to always share a positive pointer when he is planning to offer up a critique. Before reminding a teammate that he made a mistake with a defensive assignment, for example, he'll compliment the way they fought through an opponent's box-out to grab a rebound. Inside the program, Miles said, they call it giving "a little sugar and hot sauce." "They're doing so many things out there," the Orlando native said. "A lot of times, they're doing a lot more good than bad. But everyone seems to remember the bad." Light, who is working toward a master's in business administration, said most of his in-game feedback is offering reminders about the scouting report. Maybe the coaches wanted to force a certain player to one side of the court. Or perhaps they wanted to extend their defense against a shooter with excellent range. Once a game gets going, he said, it's not unusual for some of those details to get overlooked. "You get caught up in the moment when you're playing the game," said Light, who came to FSU from Virginia. "Everyone does. So it's nice to have someone on the sideline who can kind of watch and observe everything and let you know what corrections you need to make." Prieto, who is pursuing a master's degree in meteorology, can't help but be amazed at how the seniors' roles have evolved over the last five years. When they first joined the program, their main job was to serve as able bodies for the scout team. They all were very good high school basketball players, but they also knew they could be easily replaced by a program like FSU. So their top goal was to learn everything they could and simply not mess things up. Over time, they feel like they've become well-versed in virtually offensive and defensive scheme being used in college basketball. "In the first year or two, we learned so much basketball," said Prieto, who hails from Louisiana. Added Miles: "In high school, you might have three plays and probably two defensive sets. Here, you've got different motions, actions, half-court sets, full-court sets ... it's a lot mentally and physically." Lindner is the only one of the four who actually plans to go into college coaching. So he is not only watching and listening to the players on the court, but he also is paying close attention to Hamilton and his coaching staff. With the bench area expanded and spaced out this year due to COVID-19 protocols, the Memphis native will purposefully get within earshot of associate head coach Stan Jones to get a feel for what impresses or concerns him. "We're able to talk strategy a lot," Lindner said. "And I'm able to hear things he's saying and then relay it to players. He's in the huddle, so he can't say every individual thing to every single player. So I'll hear his thoughts and try to relay them." Like the others, Lindner tries to pick his spots.

All of the walk-ons know better than to start offering their advice when Hamilton or his assistants are speaking, so Lindner will often chime in before the coaches begin or right when the huddle breaks. He said one of his constant messages to Barnes is to be more aggressive in transition because the freshman is so dangerous in those situations. With Gray, it might be reminders about attacking the offensive glass or stepping up his defense. And Gray is constantly asking for that feedback, Lindner said. "He's always on me to remind him to get steals and boards." Because the seniors have been in the program for so long, they often know the offensive and defensive schemes of upcoming opponents before they even get the scouting reports. And during games, they have fun recognizing what plays the other team is running and calling them out to help the players on the floor. "When we get a stop on that, that definitely means a lot to us," Miles said. "It means we did our job." That obviously is a major reward in itself. But sometimes, like in Monday's blowout victory against No. 7 Virginia, they get even more noticeable recognition. With 1:17 remaining, Hamilton inserted Lindner, Light and Miles into the game for the final few possessions. Prieto is nursing an injury and was not available, but the others have now made appearances in six of 15 games this season. It's a token of Hamilton's appreciation for the quartet's many contributions behind the scenes. And in the minds of the fifth-year seniors, it's one more symbol of what makes the FSU program so special. When the walk-ons get those late-game opportunities, the scholarship guys usually stand and cheer and smile, hoping each shot will go through the net. They root them on as a way to say thanks for everything they do for the program and for them individually. "Guys like Scottie Barnes or [current NBA players] Patrick Williams and Devin Vassell, they'll come in and want to learn from us," Prieto said. "That's very cool. It shows the type of character guys that the coaches are recruiting. That they're not egotistical -- they're willing to humble themselves and listen to guys that don't see much of the court but know what's going on. "That says a lot about the coaching staff and their ability to scout players as people -- not just players."

Game 2 -- Florida State 69, Indiana 67

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Freshman Scottie Barnes scored the game winning basket with 1.8 seconds remaining to play in overtime to lift No. 20 Florida State to a 69-67 win over Indiana at the Donald L. Tucker Center in the 22nd Annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Barnes was stellar in his first career overtime game as he scored his first career 3-point field goal and then hit the winner to help the Seminoles earn their 10th consecutive overtime victory. Barnes totaled nine points, five assists, four rebounds, and four steals to help the Seminoles improve to 2-0. The freshman opened and closed out the game with field goals in only his second game and second start in a Florida State uniform. Barnes is a candidate for the Bob Cousy award and has earned spots on the Naismith and Wooden Award watch lists. Indiana moved to 3-2 on the season. The win was Florida State’s 67th in its last 70 games at home. The Seminoles have now won 25 consecu-tive home games and 40 straight non-conference games at home. Florida State turned up the defensive pressure in the overtime period. After surrendering an old-fashioned three-point play to Indiana’s Trayce Jackson-Davis to open the extra session, the Seminoles outscored the Hoosiers 7-2 over the final 4:38 of the extra session. The Hoosiers were unable to score from the floor and managed on two free throws in the final 4:38 of overtime.

Game 3 -- Florida State 83,Florida 71

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Highly touted freshman Scottie Barnes scored 17 points and No. 20 Florida State extended its domi-nance against the Gators with an 83-71 victory that came after Florida suddenly lost its best player. The Seminoles led by as many as 18 in the second half. They ended up extending their winning streak against Florida to seven games, tying the longest by either team in the series. They also stretched their winning streak against nonconference opponents at home to 41 and won their 26th straight at home. Barnes, Anthony Polite and M.J. Walker made this one look easy most of the day. Barnes, the top-rated recruit of Hamilton’s tenure in Tallahassee, had two thunderous dunks and was 7-of-10 shooting. It was a breakout game for the 6-foot-9 point guard many expect to be an NBA lottery pick. Florida State 83, Florida 71Donald L. Tucker Center

The redshirt junior forward scored in double figures for the sixth straight game and had his second double-double in a month for the Seminoles who were playing their first game in two weeks due to coronavirus issues. Jonah Antonio scored a career-high 23 points, drilling 7 of 8 shots from 3-point range, for Wake Forest. Antonio had the best 3-point shooting game in Wake history with a minimum of eight attempts from long range. Ian DuBose, one of three Wake players who fouled out, added 18 points on 6 of 9 shooting. Guard Carter Whitt’s nine assists were the most by a Wake Forest freshman since Bryant Crawford dished out nine against Coastal Carolina on Dec. 18, 2015. Florida State has won 23 straight home ACC games, a streak that dates to a 77-68 win over Clemson on Jan. 22, 2019. Barnes had 11 of his 13 points for Florida State in second half or overtime. M.J. Walker scored 14 points, giving him 976 for his career. Malik Osborne also added eight rebounds. Despite being without Koprivica, Florida State still outrebounded Wake 39-32.

Gray scored in double figures for the seventh straight game. Florida State has won 24 consecutive ACC home games dating to a victory over Clemson on Jan. 22, 2019. Trey Murphy III had 13 points and Kihei Clark added 12 in the second half for Virginia, which had won four in a row. Florida State has taken four of the last five meetings at home. The Seminoles shot a robust 29 of 58 (50 percent) from the floor against one of the nation’s stingiest defensive programs. Florida State jumped on the Cavaliers early. Gray and Walker had nine points apiece as the Seminoles went 6 of 10 from 3-point range on the way to a stunning 45-25 halftime lead. Murphy’s 3-pointer closed the deficit to 48-41 with 14:24 left, but the Cavaliers couldn’t cut into the lead any further. Florida State’s depth again was a big factor. Balsa Koprivica (nine points), Anthony Polite (eight), Scottie Barnes (seven) and Sardaar Calhoun (six) helped the Seminoles’ bench outscore Virginia’s reserves 37-20.
