The Florida State Seminoles men's basketball team represents Florida State University in the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference in NCAA Division I. They have experienced considerable success throughout their history. The current head men's basketball coach is Leonard Hamilton.

History

After spotting America’s major college basketball programs a 50-year head start, Florida State would be struggling just to catch up. Not so. In just over 50 years, the Seminoles have matched and surpassed many of their older brethren in victories, in 20-win seasons, in NCAA Tournament games and in the individual honors picked up by Florida State players. While many teams have celebrated over 100 years in college basketball, the Seminole program remains a virtual baby in years playing the game. But not in years of excellence.

The Men's Seminole team has enjoyed some NCAA Success. Since their first appearance in the NCAA’s big dance in 1968, the Seminoles have played for the title in the NCAA Championship game, fought their way into the Elite 8 and Sweet 16 and become tournament regulars.

NBA Success

Florida State is one of only two ACC schools that have had at least one player selected in each of the last four NBA Drafts. Hearing their names called on recent draft days were Tim Pickett by the New Orleans Hornets in 2004, Von Wafer by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2005, Alexander Johnson by the Indiana Pacers in 2006 and Al Thornton by the Los Angeles Clippers in 2007 giving Seminole head coach Leonard Hamilton four NBA draft choices in his first four years at Florida State. A total of 35 Seminoles have been selected in the NBA Draft including seven first round picks. Among those first round selections are Dave Cowens, one of the greatest centers in NBA history, and George McCloud, the first lottery selection in school history. Today, five Seminoles are on NBA rosters and 16 have played in the league in the last 17 years..cite web|url=http://graphics.fansonly.com/schools/fsu/graphics/mediaguides/06-mbb/2006-07universitysection.pdf |publisher=Seminoles.com |title=Profile: Men's Basketball|accessdate=2007-09-24]
