Points in the paint and turnovers, two areas that are supposed to be strengths under coach Larry Eustachy, were instead weaknesses for his Colorado State Rams.
As a result, CSU's upset bid of Florida State came up well short Sunday afternoon in a 90-73 loss in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
The Rams (2-2) competed much better than they did two days ago when they lost to Tulane by 27. They overcame a 12-point first-half deficit thanks to some hot perimeter shooting by Lorenzo Jenkins and even took the lead briefly in the second half.
But an 11-0 FSU (3-0) run midway through the second half reestablished control for the Seminoles, who outscored the Rams 44-24 in the paint and scored 23 points off 22 CSU turnovers.
