Behind huge performances by Dwayne Bacon and Terrance Mann, the Florida State Seminoles won a heated contest against their biggest rivals. Though FSU basketball was up by 12 with 7:06 left, they did a poor job of closing the game out. Missed FT’s and stagnant offensive possessions allowed the Gators to cut FSU’s lead down to three. And with under a minute left, Florida’s KeVaughn Allen had a good look from deep to tie the game.
He missed, Mann grabbed his biggest rebound of the night and was immediately fouled. He made both FT’s and iced the game.
