The Minnesota Golden Gopher men's basketball team faces a tough test Tuesday night when they host Florida State at Williams Arena as part of the annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge (8:00, 1390 The FAN).

Both Seminole losses this season came against ranked teams. Florida State dropped an 82-80 contest with #22 Michigan in overtime, and also a one point loss to #15 Florida in their last game. The Seminoles also notched an impressive 85-67 win over #10 VCU.

The Gophers started out 5-0 this season with wins against low-level opponents, then hung with #8 Syracuse until the end in a 75-67 loss in Maui. Minnesota laid a stinker against Arkansas in their second game of the Maui Invitational, posting an 87-73 loss.
