Tallahassee, FL- Florida State basketball narrowly escaped an upset by Boston University with an 81-80 overtime win. FSU blew a late lead to force overtime, but Matthew Cleveland’s put-back bucket with two seconds remaining in OT gave FSU the win. It was FSU’s third win in the last four days. Cleveland and Caleb Mills each had 17 points. FSU has won four straight games and is now 5-1 heading into next week’s matchup versus the top-five Purdue Boilermakers.
The win was much tougher than it needed to be, but FSU pulled out the win without two rotation pieces (including a starter) and while playing their third game in the last four days.
