FSU holds off UNC Greensboro, 64-54, to advance to second round of NCAA Tournament

Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton wondered how his team would respond after a tough loss to Georgia Tech in the ACC Championship Game.

With guards M.J. Walker and Scottie Barnes struggling with their shots early on, the Seminoles relied on a stifling defense down the stretch to avoid an upset bid in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

FSU forward RaiQuan Gray scored a game-high 17 points, seven of which came during a pivotal stretch in the second half and center Balsa Koprivica added 13 points to power the fourth-seeded Seminoles to a 64-54 win over No. 14 seed UNC Greensboro Saturday and into the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
