Florida State went nearly ten minutes without a made basket, from the 13:22 mark to the 3:36 mark. Despite that, they were able to get to the line, make nine free throws, and play fantastic defense to keep BC at arm's length. BC got it down to four with 7:17 left, but FSU could always keep it a two-score lead, for most of the second half.

FSU let the game slip away in front of the 6,083 fans in attendance at the Conte Forum. In just four seconds, the Eagles scored five points straight, including a three-pointer by Chase Kelley to steal a 77-76 victory over FSU.
