Seminoles upset Gators hoops 57-55

[MahxFahn]

Noticeably absent down the stretch was senior guard Walter Hodge, who sat the final two minutes. Hodge, who hit a big 3-pointer down the stretch in Florida’s win two weeks ago against Washington in Kansas City, was on the bench in favor of freshman Ray Shipman. Shipman drove the baseline and hit a layup with 26 seconds left to cut the Florida State led to 54-53, but Florida State hit three of its final four free throws to close the game out.

Same thing happened 2 years ago. The Seminoles upset the Gators in basketball on the same night it was announced we would be going to the BCS national championship.

At one point in the game we lead, but in the end we lost by only one basket.

We've beat them in football for five years straight, so why can't we beat them in roundball? Billy, you've got some work to do.

Was it just me or was the officitaing horrendous last night?

Even if the officiating was bad, the bottom line is we've lost 4 of the last 5 years to FSU.

L-B-G, even with these guys (Officials: Karl Hess, Mike Pitts, Patrick Adams) not there we would have had a hard time there especially the middle of the 2nd period.
It's still a young season and I would give up a loss to the sow for good SEC play.
