March Madness 2010 Florida State Seminoles Take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs

Florida State (9) says they are honored to play against Gonzaga (8) in the opening round of the 2010 NCAA tournament, and they couldn't have hoped for a better matchup, as the Zags will provide the best possible litmus test for the team.

"I told our players, I can't think of a better bracket to be in than to play against them," Hamilton said. "I know this is going to be a challenge. But that's what excites you."For Hamilton, merely being seeded ninth in the West Regional -- one spot behind Gonzaga -- was enough to feel "honored."

This is only Florida State's 3rd appearance in the tournament since 1998. A far cry from their competition, who have made 12 consecutive tournaments.

Gonzaga was supposed to be in a rebuilding year, but the Bulldogs were able to scrap together an impressive season; the Zags finished the year 26-6.
