FSU wasn't helping themselves with some poor defensive rebounding and questionable officiating, but they couldn't go downhill like they wanted. To combat that, Jerry Deng and Malique Ewin started to make some shots as FSU slowly climbed back into the game.

Florida State men's basketball (11-5, 2-3) ended its two-game road trip on a sour note, losing to Clemson, 77-57 on Saturday at the Littlejohn Coliseum. Clemson has beaten the Seminoles in six of the last seven meetings. FSU also lost six straight games at Clemson's home court.
