(AP) -- When Florida State lost five of six in the middle of the ACC season, an at-large NCAA tournament bid seemed nearly out of the question.

With four wins in their last five to push into the top half of the conference, the Seminoles have set the table to complete the regular season with a substantial resume-builder: a home win Sunday against Syracuse in the schools' first meeting as ACC opponents.

"I'm more focused on getting this win because I know I want to make it to an NCAA tournament before my two years here is up," said senior Robert Gilchrist when asked about senior day. "So that's what I'm more focused on. If we get this win, we increase our chances of making the tournament."
