No. 15/19 FSU Plays at Boston College on Thursday at 7 p.m.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 15/19 Florida State women's basketball team is set to travel to snowy Massachusetts for an Atlantic Coast Conference showdown with Boston College (16-5, 5-2 ACC) Thursday at 7 p.m.

The Seminoles (18-5, 6-1 ACC) are looking to get back to their winning ways after losing to No. 8/11 Maryland, 72-71, on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of regulation. Prior to the loss to the Terrapins, FSU had rattled off nine-straight victories and was the only unblemished team in league play.

Thursday's game could feature some history being made as senior guard Mara Freshour could become the 23rd player in program history to reach 1,000 career points. The Nashville, Ind. native and team captain is 14 points away from reaching the milestone. In addition to Freshour, junior forward Jacinta Monroe could get close to setting a new school record for most blocks in a career. With 204 career blocks, Monroe is just five shy of tying former Seminole Brooke Wycoff's all-time career record of 209 swats.

The FSU-Boston College game is not televised so those Seminole fans that are interested in following all the action can go to Seminoles.com where play-by-play radio announcer Ryan Pensy and Sports Information Director Brandon Mellor will be sitting courtside detailing everything that takes place inside the Silvio O. Conte Forum. Fans will have access to live updating information as well as the ability to ask questions and share their thoughts about the game.

Friends Stand United

Friends Stand United (FSU) or Forever Stand United was initially a crew of Boston hardcore fans that formed in the late 80's/ early 90's.

FSU has grown since then, with chapters in Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Upstate NY, and several other locations.

Since the release of the video Boston Beatdown II, FSU has gained negative publicity throughout the Northeastern United States. FSU T-shirts are banned from many venues. FSU members have been accused of starting riots and fights at Boston concerts, and were even blamed for an assault on Moby.

Many blame FSU members for ruining the hardcore and punk scene through excessive fighting. They are known for picking fights in numbers. One FSU member was shot after injuring another concert attendee at a hardcore show in Arizona. They are also generally blamed (along with traveling fans who loitered outside the show, but never actually saw the bands) for the violence which erupted at the Pointless Fest held in Philadelphia in 2006.
