It’s the epic battle for the rightful claim to a championship title that nobody saw coming.
Florida State Seminoles basketball, in a two-game tournament that saw its offense come alive as its defense did the darn thing, took down Loyola Marymount and Missouri to claim the inaugural Jacksonville Classic title.
The fine print though is that the Seminoles won the Duval division, while the Boston University Terriers took home the Jax division title, beating Northern Illinois (76-58) and Sam Houston State (72-59).
While the matchup (scheduled prior to each team winning their bracket) isn’t a winner-take-all situation, that doesn’t mean that it can’t be one in our hearts.
