After the #22 ranked Buffs (23-8, 14-6) had a comfortable win over Georgetown, and #14 ranked FSU (17-6, 11-4) defeated #13 seed UNC-Greensboro 64-54, they're scheduled to meet in a 2nd round matchup at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum(***) in Indianapolis this Monday, with tipoff scheduled for 5:45 PM MT. TV coverage is scheduled to be on TBS, with Brad Nessler, Steve Lavin and Evan Washburn on the call.
(***Was curious so checked and, per Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Farmers_Coliseum), the Coliseum, located on the Indiana State Fairgrounds, is the basketball home venue for Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), as well as a minor league (ECHL) hockey team.)
Per an FSU article I read, CU and FSU have never met before. (The Buff schedule currently links to a game (easy win) back in November 2007 as being against FSU, but when I go to the Buff record book, looks like that was actually against Florida A & M.)
Go Buffs!!!

FIRST LOOK FSU: Florida State, the No. 4 seed in the East, hung on to defeat UNC Greensboro, 64-54, in another first-round game Saturday.
Leonard Hamilton's Seminoles won despite going 0-for-9 from 3-point range, as forward RaiQuan Gray scored 17 points. FSU led by just one, 51-50, late in the game but put together a closing 13-4 run to seal the win.
Colorado fans may remember Hamilton from the old Big Eight, when he coached at Oklahoma State from 1986-90.
FSU (17-6 overall, 11-4 ACC) finished second in the ACC regular season standings, then lost to Georgia Tech, 80-75, in the ACC tourney championship game.
The 6-8, 260-pound Gray is the Seminoles' second-leading scorer (12.2 ppg) and leading rebounder (6.6 rpg). Guard M.J. Walker leads FSU in scoring (12.5 ppg) and the Seminoles have five players averaging at least nine points per game.
Florida State averaged 78.3 points per game this season while holding opponents to 69.6 per game. The Seminoles averaged nearly eight 3-pointers per game this year while shooting 38 percent from long range, and they outrebounded opponents by nearly five per game, averaging 37.4 boards per contest.
Hamilton, who has led FSU to the Elite Eight and Sweet 16 in the previous two NCAA tourneys, is nursing a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered before the tournament began.
