A short-handed Florida State basketball team was no match for the No. 2 Purdue Boilermakers on Tuesday evening as the Seminoles fell 93-65. With three players unavailable, FSU had no answers for Purdue’s high-powered offense. The Boilermakers shot 59% from the field and made 12 three-pointers. Five Boilermakers were in double-digits. Caleb Mills produced a season-high 22 points on 9-16 shooting, but it was not enough to keep the game close.
Florida State entered one of the toughest atmospheres in the country with two freshmen starting. With two starters (RayQuan Evans and Tanor Ngom) out, John Butler made his first career start and Jalen Warley made his second.
