Florida State basketball, for the second straight game, was outgunned and outmatched by an in-state opponent, this time falling to the UCF Knights 68-54 on the road in Orlando.
It’s the first time Florida State is 0-2 since the 2000-2001 season.
The Seminoles, as the case in the season-opening loss to the Stetson Hatters, had to play from behind early. FSU’s largest lead came early in the first half, an 8-4 margin, and then never led again after the Knights overcame it.
UCF began to separate itself in the game late in the first half, taking a 39-29 lead into the half.
