Yes, Ryan Reid has made it to the big time. He was drafted in the second round of the 2010 NBA draft and has an article about him in the WSJ. This is a very nice read about Ryan and OKC's opinion of him. A must read for any Seminole's fan (not just Seminole's hoops fans)

Ryan Reid was drafted with the #57 pick in the NBA draft by the Indiana Pacers and then promptly traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The folks over at Welcome to Loud City, the SBNation OKC Thunder blog, contacted us to learn about Ryan. Take a look at what we had to say.

Seriously? Ryan Reid has his best season yet, but to only be picked seven picks after seriously hyped Solomon Alabi. Congrats to both of these guys and to Ryan for finishing his career at FSU. I do wonder what information was told to Solomon and what was passed along to teams that he would drop that far, especially given the fact that so many other big men were taken before him. Thoughts?

Solomon Alabi recently worked out with the Washington Wizards and 'Truth About It' put together a really nice feature piece about him that includes videos and interviews from the work out. As today is Draft Day, it's a really nice read. Where do you see Solomon going tonight? Draft coverage begins at 7pm EST.

We were recently approached by the folks at 'Welcome to Loud City,' SBNation's OKC Thunder Blog, to answer some questions about Solomon Alabi. Click on the title to see what we had to say. What's your take on Alabi heading into the draft? Will he be available at #21 for the Oklahoma City Thunder?

Congrats to Nolzfan06 on winning the second annual TNation Tournament Bracket Challenge. He had 5 of the Elite 8 correct, 2 of the Final Four correct and went with Duke to win it all. TC finished 13th and Bud finished 82nd. In other news, TC won the College Basketball Bloggers Bracket Sponsored by Ballinisahabit.net, in case you were wondering or cared. Thanks to everyone for participating. (TC has consumed with work and life in general, apologies for the absence.)

Are you up to the challenge? How far will you have the Seminoles go in the tournament? Sign up. It's free. If you win, you'll be crowned the TNation March Madness Bracket Challenge Winner. Make your SBNation ID your bracket name. The password is: seminoles

and head to Buffalo to take on the #8 seed Gonzaga Bulldogs. Duke, Maryland, Clemson, Wake Forest and Georgia Tech all join the Seminoles in the NCAA Tournament. Virginia Tech, who finished 4th in the ACC was left out.

We were invited to write a piece arguing why Florida State should be in the NCAA tournament. The data is pretty clear and it shouldn't be a question at this point. Scroll down the page to see the story

Tournament play starts Friday for the Noles. FSU will take on the winner of the Clemson vs. NC State game.

SBnation's current bracket prediction has Florida State as a ten seed playing Cornell in Milwaukee. TC would be a big fan of FSU playing in Milwaukee, not because it would be good for the Seminoles, but good for TC.
