The Seminoles took care of business against UNC Greensboro on Saturday with a 64-54 victory, advancing FSU to the round of 32 and a date with Colorado.
Unlike the Buffs 64% three-point barrage, Florida State struggled shooting threes in its first round matchup, failing to convert on nine attempts. Despite this, the Seminoles, led by junior forward RaiQuan Gray, controlled both ends of the court and to pull away late and advance in the tournament.
