The Seminoles have won three of the last five games against the Tigers in a series that dates to 1957. The most recent meeting between the two teams came as a 79-76 Seminole win on November 23, 2018, in the second round of the AdvoCare Invitational at Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Florida State won the game on a last second 3-point shot by Mfiondu Kabengele to give the Seminoles the overtime time victory and advance them to the championship game of the tournament. The event was played at the Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World resort.

The series between the Seminoles and the Tigers is tied a 3-3 with each of the last three meetings coming at neutral sites. The Seminoles defeated the Tigers at the Milwaukee Classic (December 16, 1967; 130-100) and at the AdvoCare Classic in Like Buena Vista in 2018. The Tigers defeated the Seminoles at the Sugar Bowl Classic (December 30, 2004; 67-50) in a game played at the New Orleans Arena.

The Seminoles' game against LSU will mark the third time in the series the two teams will play on the Tigers' campus. The series began in 1957, and was played again in 1959, at the John M. Parker Agricultural Coliseum. The six-game series has been played in Tallahassee once and resulted in an 82-67 Seminole win at Tully Gymnasium on the Florida State campus.

It was announced last week that Florida State men's basketball will participate in the 2024 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. The Seminoles will face Temple (November 22, 5 p.m.) and UMass (November 24, 5 p.m.) at the event. For more on that scheduling, click here.

The Seminoles will also host Florida this season and their ACC schedule will include home-and-away meetings with Clemson, Louisville, and Miami, home games with Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Pitt, SMU, Syracuse, and Virginia Tech, as well as away games at Boston College, Cal, Duke, NC State, Stanford, Virginia, and Wake Forest. The Seminoles will also likely play in the Orange Bowl Classic, a regular in their time under Hamilton.
