FSU basketball parts ways with infamous piece of memorabilia
Florida State's basketball program is okay with parting ways with the rather infamous 2020 banner, where the Seminoles finished No. 4 nationally.
I don't know how to tell you this, but hold your tears, Florida State fans. The Seminoles have parted ways with one of their more infamous pieces of memorabilia. Before Luke Loucks took the reins of the FSU basketball program, Leonard Hamilton's squad in 2020 finished their season as the No.
4 team nationally. That year's conference and NCAA tournaments were cancelled due to COVID-19, meaning the Seminoles never got to compete for a title. In recognition of their accomplishments, though, FSU raised a banner in celebration.
Typically, the Seminoles have only done that for their NCAA Tournament appearances, like in 1993 when they reached the Elite Eight. Their banner read "NCAA Cancelled, #4 Final Ranking, 2020. " Now in 2026, it appears Loucks was okay with parting ways with that banner, as it's now in the possession of Barstool Sports' Big Cat, better known as Dan Katz.
Katz took to X, posting, "Another piece of memorabilia secured. Banner raising in Chicago in a couple weeks with@lukeloucks. Thank you for the incredible hospitality @FSUHoops" with a photo of the infamous banner.
