FSU men’s hoops to play in Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off in 2024-25 season
WATCH: FSU men’s basketball head coach Leonard Hamilton on loss to No. 3 North Carolina
Florida State men’s basketball head coach Leonard Hamilton speaks to media following the Seminoles 75-68 loss to North Carolina on Jan. 27, 2024.
Florida State will play Temple (Nov. 22, 5 p.m.) and UMass (Nov. 24, p.m.) in the 2024 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Ct., as Head Coach Leonard Hamilton and his staff continue to assemble the Seminoles’ 2024-25 schedule.
The round-robin tournament with predetermined opponents also includes Vermont, Delaware, Yale and Fairfield along with the Seminoles, the Owls, and the Minutemen.
The Seminoles begin play in the event against Temple from the American Athletic Conference in a series that began in 1992.
The Seminoles won the series’ first game in a game played in the Milk Challenge in Orlando and most recently faced the Owls in the 2016 NIT Tip-Off at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Florida State concludes play in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic against UMass and head coach Frank Martin, renewing a series that began in 1992.
The Seminoles and the Minutemen are tied 4-4 in the all-time series. The most recent game between the teams took place at the 2014 Naismith Hall of Fame Classic at Mohegan Sun.
Florida State has won three of the last four games against UMass, including a 73-63 win on Feb. 12, 2006, at the Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee.
“We are very excited to play in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic against two well-coached teams who will challenge all of our offensive and defensive principles,” Hamilton said. “Both Temple (by Adam Fisher) and Massachusetts (by Coach Martin) are always well-coached and well-prepared for every opponent.
“We also know that both teams are going to play hard. These are two really good games for us in November that will help prepare us for ACC play, which will be right around the corner after the tournament at the Mohegan Sun.”
Tickets for the 2024 Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off and Showcase will go on sale Friday, Sept. 6, via Ticketmaster and on sale at the Mohegan Sun Arena Box Office starting Saturday, Sept. 7.
Further details surrounding the game times, broadcast information, and credentials will be announced at a later date. For more information, please visit hoophall.com.
