Florida State (9-3, 0-1) took control midway through the first half and then cruised through a sloppy second half for an 82-64 victory. This was the 8th double-digit margin out of nine non-conference wins. Jamir Watkins, as he frequently does, led all scorers with 23.
First Half:
Our own Jordan Silversmith cautioned that the game might be a slog and it certainly played out that way for much of the first half. Taylor Bol Bowen, back after a one game absence for illness, tied up the game at 4 with a nice offensive rebound putback.
