Final Thoughts:
Well it was a war of attrition in the Sunshine State. But the Hurricanes got some bench play from Chris Lykes. Lykes scored 18 points. And the Hurricanes were the better shooting team tonight. But the Seminoles, couldn't hang their head. They were able to only lose this game by 6 points, with only 37.1% shooting, and 20.8% from the 3-point line. 

The Seminoles will play Louisville in Tallahassee on Wednesday. Miami will face Clemson on Saturday, in South Carolina.
