The student section was sold out. The house was rockin’.

Florida State started with energy but ran out of gas in the second half.

Locked in a tie game, the Seminoles came out of halftime flat as the misses from the floor and free-throw line built, and Clemson took a 78-67 win to halt FSU’s five-game ACC win streak. It was FSU’s first loss of 2024.

But they opened the second half making just 3 of their first 10 shots from the floor and 5 of 10 free-throw attempts, allowing Clemson to take a 10-point lead on Dillon Hunter’s 3-pointer with 8:14 left.

One exception to the struggles for FSU (11-7, 5-2 ACC) was Jamir Watkins, who had 13 of his 15 points in the second half. He also had five rebounds on the day, but the Tigers were more aggressive on the glass, too, outrebounding FSU 39-22.
