Jacksonville, FL-
The Florida State Seminoles defeated the Loyola Marymount Lions at UNF Arena on Sunday evening in Jacksonville, Florida. In a game where Leonard Hamilton prioritized playing time and development for younger ‘Noles with lots of substitutions, suffocating defense and a strong run to end the first half kept Florida State in control despite the physical play of the Lions.
FSU was sloppy with the ball at times and ice cold from midrange and three point range in the first 10 minutes of the game. Early in the contest, the ‘Noles seemed much more interested in immediately passing to the next guy rather than even sizing up the rim, and the indecision lead to several turnovers and poor shots.
