Three and half weeks ago the Clemson Tigers grabbed headlines by upsetting a ranked Florida State team at home. On Saturday, the Seminoles returned the favor and then some, bludgeoning the reeling Tigers in a 80-61 drubbing that was no where near as close as the final score indicates. The win, FSU’s 21st consecutive against ACC opponents in Tuck, brings the ‘Noles to 9-2 on the season and 5-1 in conference play.
The Seminoles turned it over on their first possession and quickly fell behind 2-0. However, the defense cranked it up several notches soon after and Clemson was simply unable to keep up.
