The 22nd-ranked Minutemen went 1 for 15 from 3-point range and were beaten for the first time this season when Florida State scored the game's final six points to win 60-55 in the Orange Bowl Classic.
Florida State had a season-high 12 blocks. Boris Bojanovsky, a 7-foot-3 sophomore, had a career-high seven blocks in 16 minutes. Michael Ojo, a 7-1 sophomore, added two blocks, seven points and eight rebounds in 19 minutes.
Chaz Williams' driving layup put the Minutemen up 55-54 with 1:51 to go, but they failed to score on their final four possessions while committing two turnovers.
Down 3 in the final seconds, Cady Lalanne appeared to have been fouled on a dunk, but he was called for hanging on the rim and the basket was waved off.
Two free throws by Ian Miller with 1:06 left gave the Seminoles the lead for good.
