The Florida State Seminoles men's basketball team represents Florida State University (variously Florida State or FSU) in the intercollegiate sport of basketball. The Seminoles compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I and the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
Though they have historically played under the shadow of the football program, the Seminoles have had successes on the hardwood and they have achieved success in recent years. Florida State has made fourteen NCAA Tournament appearances: appearing in the Round of 64 on ten occasions, advancing to the Round of 32 on eight occasions, the Sweet Sixteen on four occasions, the Elite Eight on two occasions, the Final Four on one occasion, and the championship game on one occasion, finishing as runner-up. Florida State has also made ten appearances in the National Invitation Tournament.
In the sixty-nine season history of the Seminole basketball program, the Seminoles have won the regular season conference title four times and the conference tournament title three times, including one ACC championship.
Florida State has had twenty-one All-Americans, twenty-six players inducted into the Hall of Fame, and thirty-one players that went on to play in the NBA. Jeff Sagarin and ESPN listed the program 74th in the college basketball all-time rankings in the 'ESPN College Basketball Encyclopedia'.
