Alabama State's performance suggests they may struggle to keep up with a team of Florida State's caliber.

- No significant injuries have been reported for either team as of the latest updates.
- The game is being played at Florida State's home venue, which provides a significant advantage. The crowd support and familiarity with the court are likely to benefit Florida State. Additionally, the game is part of a doubleheader, which may affect player focus and energy levels.
- Florida State will be motivated to continue their strong start to the season and build momentum. Alabama State will be looking to bounce back from their loss to Auburn and prove they can compete with higher-level teams.
