FSU basketball sees double-digit lead slip away, loses ACC opener to UNC

Florida State Seminoles basketball, facing off against the North Carolina Tar Heels in Chapel Hill on Saturday, had the chance to pull off the team’s second upset of a Top 25 team this season.

Early in the second half, the Seminoles led the No. 18 Tar Heels by as much as 14 points, but 22-0 run by North Carolina saw FSU’s 56-48 lead with 10:28 left in the game turn into a 70-56 deficit.

FSU managed to cut it to 78-70 at the end with a three-point shot by Darin Green Jr., getting the small win of covering the spread.
