Florida State men's basketball was back at home on a Tuesday night showdown against UT Martin. The Seminoles were trying to bounce back from a tough 78-76 loss to arch-rival Florida Gators.
Florida State wasn't given much of a chance to succeed against Florida, who were the defending national champions, on the road. However, head basketball coach Luke Loucks battled until the end. Guard Robert McCray V kept them in the contest.
Against UT Martin, it was much of the same with McCray V, as he recorded 16 points with 4-of-8 from three-point range. The Seminoles cruised to an 87-73 victory and left the fans in the Tucker Center happy that Florida State got in the win column again.
