The Florida State basketball team finished their five-game road trip on Sunday with a neutral-site non-conference game against the Virginia Commenwealth Rams at Phillips Arena in Atlanta, denying the late comeback by VCU to survive with a 76-71 win. Here are some observations from the Seminoles' win over the Rams.
1. FSU can win despite down games from Bacon and Beasley
In each of Florida State's first six games, they were led in scoring by a freshman (Dwayne Bacon four times and Malik Beasley twice). In the win over the Rams, Beasley and Bacon were both held in check, finishing with 10 points each, just the second time where neither has reached 20+ points.
