TALLAHASSEE - It's a crucial seven-game stretch for Florida State Women's Basketball to finish up the regular season, starting with a road game at Pittsburgh on Thursday night at 7 p.m.

Thursday's game will air on ACC Network Extra.

The Seminoles (16-7, 7-4) are 10-0 all-time against the Panthers (7-16, 1-9), with every matchup being since 2014 when Pitt joined the ACC starting in the 2013-14 academic year.

FSU secured a Top 40 NET win on Sunday at home when they defeated rival Miami, 75-68. The Noles got back to their fourth-quarter dominance, outscoring the Hurricanes 19-11. They held Miami to just two points over the game's last 5 1/2 minutes, getting stops on each of its last eight defensive possessions to end the game.

Junior forward Makayla Timpson completed her 10th double-double of the season against Miami, leading the Noles with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Timpson becomes the sixth Seminole to record multiple seasons with 10 or more double-doubles, joining Natasha Howard, Kiah Gillespie, Cherry Rivers, Brenda Cliette and Chantelle Dishman.

Florida State had four players reach double figures in their win over the Hurricanes on Sunday, including Timpson (22), O'Mariah Gordon (16), Ta'Niya Latson (15) and Sara Bejedi (11). It marked FSU's fifth time having four or more players reach double figures in ACC play.

For the second straight year, FSU is going after its program record for 3-point field goals made. Last season in the team's first year of the pace and space offense, the Seminoles set a new record with 232 made 3's. This season with seven regular-season games left and more counting, the Noles have 177 made 3-point field goals. Last year through 23 games, FSU totaled 176 made 3's.

Florida State owns four NET Top 50 wins on its season resume, all at home vs. No. 18 Virginia Tech (89-81), No. 29 UNC (70-62), No. 36 Miami (75-68) and No. 49 Tennessee (92-91). Against teams ranked 26-50, the Seminoles are 3-1.

FSU has already matched last year's total with three AP Top 25 wins over No. 11 Tennessee, No. 20 UNC and No. 11 Virginia Tech.
