In a fitting end to Leonard Hamilton’s illustrious tenure in Tallahassee, Florida State (17-14, 8-12) defeated the SMU Mustangs (22-9, 13-7) in a high energy, back and forth game, 76-69. The win was the 200th ACC victory of Hamilton’s career and ensures FSU of a winning season. The Mustangs, led by former FSU assistant coach Andy Enfield, must now do some serious damage in the ACC Tournament if they hope to make the NCAA Tourney.

The Seminoles, playing without their second leading scorer, led this one for much of the final 8 minutes, but they couldn’t make enough plays down the stretch to close the deal.

Peyton Baker Coming off their stirring comeback against Wake Forest, Florida State (15-10, 6-8) saw their two game winning streak come to a screeching halt with a 72-46 defeat. Favored by just four points, the Clemson Tigers (21-5, 13-2) put this one away early, leading by 15 or more points for the final 25 minutes of the game. Florida State came out with energy, but struggled mightily to put the ball in the basket from all three levels, which eventually led to frustration and mistakes.
