Stadium: Donald L. Tucker Center
The Donald L. Tucker Center, formerly the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center, serves as home to Seminole basketball. The center is a multi-purpose facility for Tallahassee and the Big Bend. The facility was so impressive that it served as host of the first round of the 1995 Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament.

Season Preview:
Somebody finally solved the riddle of how to neutralize Florida State's Al Thornton.
Mississippi State forced him to the bench with early foul trouble, then shouldered its way into the NIT semifinals with a frenetic 86-71 win over Florida State on Tuesday night.
"We went at him, forced him to guard us and got some calls," Mississippi State coach Rich Stansbury said.
He made it sound simple, but few have contained Thornton this season like the Bulldogs (21-13) did. The North Region's top seed limited one of college basketball's most dynamic players to 22 minutes and 16 points for the second-seeded Seminoles (22-13).
Thornton drew two personal fouls in the first 4 minutes of the game, then two more in the first 5 minutes of the second half. Without their star, the Seminoles wilted under Mississippi State's ball-hawking man-to-man defense.
