2026 ACC Tournament game thread: FSU opens play vs. Pitt

Florida State will begin its ACC Tournament run today, facing off against the Pittsburgh Panthers in the quarterfinals (3 p.m., ACC Network).

The Seminoles, who are the No. 3 seed, swept the Panthers in the regular season. Pitt took down No. 11 Louisville on Tuesday and No. 6 Wake Forest on Wednesday to advance to the quarterfinal.

FSU (38-16) has worked its way back into the conversation for a top-eight national seed in the NCAA Tournament and is hoping to strengthen its case to earn one — and the program’s first ACC Tournament championship since 2018 — in Charlotte.

ACC Pitcher of the Year Wes Mendes will get the start on the mound for Florida State while Pitt has yet to announce a starter.
