The Syracuse Orangemen and Florida State Seminoles first met in 1990. The Orange won the first three games in the series; the Seminoles would beat Syracuse in the first round of the 1997 NIT Tournament.

The two teams would not meet again for 17 years until the Orange joined the ACC for the 2013-2014 season.

The unranked Orange would upset #6 Florida State in January 2017. John Gillon had 21 points and 11 assists, and Tyler Lydon had a strong defensive game with 6 blocks and 11 rebounds, in leading Syracuse to victory.
