The Hurricanes shared the ball extremely well in the first half, totaling 10 assists on 11 made field goals. Six different Miami players recorded a bucket in the first 20 minutes, paced by Kidd who scored eight points on 4-of-4 shooting. The first half featured five ties and three lead changes with neither team shooting better than 45 percent from the field. Redshirt junior A.J. Staton-McCray sunk two free throws with 23 seconds remaining the in the half to tie the game at 31 at the halftime break. Miami and Florida State traded buckets to open the second half with neither team leading by more than four points through the first 10 minutes of the frame. Florida State's AJ Swinton connected on a 3-pointer at the 9:20 mark to spark a 10-2 run for the Seminoles and put them ahead by eight, 55-47 with eight minutes to play. Miami freshman Divine Ugochukwu cut the Seminoles' lead to five, 67-62, with 56 seconds remaining in the game, but Florida State knocked down critical free throws down the stretch to secure the 74-66 victory.
