Florida State Seminoles
Road to the Final Four.............................................................................................
Overview The Seminoles reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since joining the ACC in the early 1990s. Senior forward Brooke Wyckoff is one of the nation's most versatile talents. She has good range on her jumper, and also rebounds and blocks shots. Florida State has good size up front with rebounding machine Levys Torres, and quickness on the perimeter with guard LaKesha Springle. The key might be the play of guard April Traylor. When she's under control and takes care of the ball, the 'Noles are a much better team.
Player to WatchSenior Levys Torres, a 6-foot-4 center, averages 10 rebounds a game. She ranked third in boards in ACC play. Roster NO.
