FLORIDA STATE IS THE NATION'S TOP DEFENSIVE TEAM

Florida State is the only team to lead the nation in two different statistical categories and is the only team in the nation to rank in the nation's top 25 in all of the defensive categories of field goal percentage defense, scoring defense, steals and blocks per game. Florida State led the nation in field goal percentage and ranked 10th nationally in blocked shots during the 2009-10 season.
