Don't look now, but the Florida State men's basketball team is back to 500, 13 and 13 on the season, 6 and 7 in the ACC and Luke Loutk's first season.

It has been a remarkable turnaround. We've been talking about it for the last few weeks, and we're going to talk about it a little bit more today on coach, excuse me, courtside with Coach J.Ride.

I am Iris Schofelmanaging editor at Wardchand.com. Of course, this is Jacob Ridenauer, long-time college basketball assistant

coach, formerly worked for Florida State for about a decade under Leonard Hamilton. Now

does a lot of TV. You see them and hear them on the ACC network, ESPN3, streaming services,

also Seminole Sports Radio Network sometimes as well. And we're going to talk about the Knowles, talk about the two big wins coming off of two more big wins for this basketball team. And then what's coming ahead where they go on probably the biggest road game of the season this weekend. But we're going to recap the wins first, and then we'll talk about that next.

basketball team. And they've kept it up. You know, and the most recent win, Boston College will get to in a second.

But that was obviously, you know, just got really ugly first half.

But they did a good job of fighting through that and getting the win.

But this past weekend, man, another very impressive win.

When we talked last week on the show, people can go back and watch last week's courts,

I would coach Jayride.

You didn't sound super optimistic about their chances of winning in Virginia Tech.

I'm not saying you predicted a loss, but you thought that was going to be a really

tough game for them going on the road to a team Virginia Tech that had just beaten Clemson

was basically 500 in the conference, a talented

basketball team. Forest 8 goes in there and it's a nip and tuck game early and you were

actually on the call at the game. So I'm curious, love to hear some of your perspectives from
