It's over at the Dome. An ugly Quad 3 loss for Syracuse, falling to FSU 85-69. Judah Mintz with 28 points but SU was horrid at the 3-point line and a poor #FreeThrowsMatter performance gave FSU the opening to run SU out of the gym in the 2nd half. https://t.co/lnjHJ81UmD
FSU 76, SU 62. Seminoles have dropped the hammer here and are 3:23 away from a victory and it's one that will really sting for Syracuse as a Quad 3 loss.
14 turnovers now for Syracuse. Step slow on defense. No offensive flow (Mintz has been the offense). Yet they only trail FSU 65-60 with 7:20 remaining. Kind of feels like they are playing with fire at this point. FSU clearly has better legs.
Turnovers are really hurting Syracuse. The Orange has 14 turnovers; FSU just 7. FSU leads 65-60 with 7:20 left.
It's a wrestling match out there at times between Syracuse and Florida State. A total of 33 fouls have been called and we've got 11:13 left. SU up 54-53.

Quadir Copeland is in and out of the lineup in a flash as he picks up 2 quick fouls. SU will have to do without its emotional engine for a bit. FSU 16, SU 13. 11:00 to go in the 1st half.
Syracuse is missing jump shots and FSU is capitalizing in transition.
