Seminole Sunday Summary: FSU Hoops Falls to Georgia Tech in ACC Championship
Florida State basketball reached the ACC Championship yet again, but fell on Saturday night to Georgia Tech in the conference title game, 80-75.
The second-seeded Seminoles shot 56% from the field, but were plagued by 25 turnovers, which led to nearly 30 points for No. 4 seed Georgia Tech. FSU led by as many as nine in the second half, but the Yellow Jackets responded with a 13-2 run and never trailed again.
Michael Devoe finished with 20 points to lead Georgia Tech while Moses Wright and Jordan Usher each tallied 15 points in the win. Freshman Scottie Barnes led FSU with 21 points on 8-for-10 shooting. M.J. Walker added 15 points before fouling out. Balsa Koprivica tallied 11 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.
After a positive COVID-19 test within the Duke program pushed Florida State to the ACC Tournament semifinals, the Seminoles topped No. 6 seed North Carolina on Friday night to advance to the ACC Championship, 69-66. As was the case in the last meeting in Chapel Hill, FSU started strong but felt resistance in the second half. This time, FSU emerged.
Malik Osborne’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer gave FSU a 35-24 at halftime, but North Carolina opened the second half on a 29-13 run. The Tar Heels led by as many as five, but FSU scored the next six points and the contest went back and forth.
The last lead for North Carolina came with just over two minutes to play when R.J. Davis made three free throws to give the Tar Heels a 64-62 lead. Anthony Polite answered with a 3-pointer to put the Seminoles ahead for good. North Carolina managed just one field goal the rest of the way.
Koprivica paced FSU with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Barnes added 11 points, five assists and two steals. Caleb Love scored 13 points to lead North Carolina.
Following the ACC Tournament in Greensboro, FSU sits at 16-6. The Seminoles will learn their NCAA Tournament seed and opponent on Sunday.
