Leonard Hamilton’s teams have been quite successful on Senior Day over the years and today was no exception. Senior Darin Green, Jr. tied his career high with 8 made threes and Jamir Watkins put up a double-double to lead Florida State (16-15, 10-10) to an 83-75 win over their rivals from south Florida.
First Half:
Coach Hamilton chose to start rotation players Jaylan Gainey and Josh Nickelberry, along with walk-on Isaac Spainhour in honor of Senior Day, but it was redshirt junior Jamir Watkins who got things started with a steal and dunk on the game’s opening possession.
