No. 13 Florida State (4-0) started the AdvoCare Invitational with a convincing 81-63 over UAB. Terance Mann led four Seminoles in double-digits with 17. Trent Forrest led the team in rebounds with a career-high 11, but he uncharacteristically turned the ball over six times (more than his first three games combined).
The ’Noles now face No. 19 Louisiana State (5-0), who advanced in the winner’s bracket with a slim 67-55 victory over Charleston. In fact, the Tigers have won their last four by 12 or fewer.
LSU is really solid offensively (19th nationally in efficiency), making 62% of its 2’s.
