FSU beats Florida for 6th-straight Sunshine Showdown victory

One by one, the basketballs sailed through the air, launching off the fingers of UF shooters from all over the court.

And one by one, the shots bounced off the rim. Again, again and again, until one somehow fell through the net, and the cycle began anew.

Both the Florida Gators and the Florida State Seminoles put up performances they’d like to forget, but FSU managed to stagger to a 63-51 victory. Florida suffered its sixth-straight loss to FSU with the defeat.

Neither team fared well in the first half.

The Gators (1-1) and the Seminoles (1-1) both posted shot percentages below 30 percent (22 percent for UF and 25 percent for FSU).
