FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Snaer named a finalist for defensive award

2013 NIT Tournament: Not the Career-Ender That Florida State’s Michael Snaer Saw Coming
Florida State senior Michael Snaer has had quiet the up and down collegiate career. For starters, Snaer was a McDonald’s All-American out of high school, committed to the Seminoles and averaged 8.8 points per game in each of his first two seasons in Tallahassee. As a junior and senior, those numbers increased as Snaer became [...]
Florida State Seminoles Are Hot Entering the ACC Tournament
Florida State had an extremely disappointing season after starting out the year ranked in the top 25. Michael Snaer returned for his senior year after leading his team to an ACC tournament championship last year. This year, the Seminoles have zero shot of getting an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament and will need to [...]
Preparation pays off for Plumlee
You may recall that I picked Florida State’s Michael Snaer to be this season’s ACC Player of the Year. When I get it wrong, I get it wrong. But the bulk of the ACC media picked NC State’s C.J. Leslie to win that award and that’s not going to happen, either. If post-season voting were to take place now, neither would make first-team All-ACC. Plumlee is averaging 18.2 points...
FSU's Terrance Shannon could be out a while

How not to rebound
On Saturday Florida State lost a close game to North Carolina. In doing so, the Noles gave up 19 offensive rebounds. How bad is that? It was the 12th most offensive rebounds allowed (OR%) by any Division I team this year. And it was the worst OR% for Florida State since that statistic became available (1999), so it quite possibly may have been the worst rebounding game in Seminole...
Okaro White enjoying breakout year for FSU
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. The stretch lasted just six minutes and 15 seconds. But it was easily the best 6:15 of Okaro White's career.
Florida State trailed Maryland 43-42 on Wednesday night with just under nine minutes left in the game. But the junior forward then scored the Seminoles' next 15 points, giving them a six-point lead, as Florida State escaped with a 65-62 road win...

For Loucks and White, it's now or never at FSU
ATLANTA -- "We've come so far.''
Okaro White and Luke Loucks certainly have. By the time the teammates one the graduate student point guard, the other a sophomore forward found each other among a mob of reporters and camera flashes, it was raining confetti in Phillips Arena. The two owed themselves a brief moment away from the spotlight of their teams accomplishment...
