The Seminoles, with a 17-2 overall record and a 4-1 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference, are currently ranked 17th nationally, undefeated in eight home games, and all five starters are averaging double figures.

Returning to the FSU lineup is 6-foot-4 Adut Bugak, was averaging 14 points and 10 rebounds per game before she suffered a concussion in a 74-68 win over visiting Duke on January 15th. She has been her team’s leading scorer in seven games.

The Lady Cards, ranked No. 4, are 17-1 overall, 5-0 in the ACC, and are riding a nine-game win streak. UofL beat Florida State in an overtime game in Louisville last season.

“To play the No. 4 team in the country is exciting, definitely,” said junior guard Morgan Jones. “We have our confidence at a level where we think we can compete with anybody in the country right now.”

Especially at home. The game will be streamed by ESPN3.com, with tip off at 7 p.m.
