Unfortunately, Florida State was the opponent in the line game Stanford won out of the five. However, none of the defeats were landslides.

Junior big Brandon Angel scored a career-high 22 points in the victory over the Seminoles, including 18 in the second half. However, the match was difficult to watch for Cardinal supporters as they went 3-for-26 from outside the arc and were outshot by FSU.
