Florida State lost a high-scoring affair to the North Carolina Tar Heels on Monday night, losing 96-85 at home. FSU was in it for most of the game, but an injury to one of their best players made it difficult for them to have success.

Longtime Florida State basketball coach Stan Jones shared an emotional message paying tribute to his time with Leonard Hamilton and FSU on Facebook.

North Carolina got a much-needed win against Florida State on Monday, staying alive in their race to make the NCAA Tournament. Not the best performance from the Seminoles despite shooting the ball well.

On Wednesday night, in Tallahassee, Hamilton will lead the Noles against the Miami Hurricanes for the last time. The 76-year-old coach announced recently that he will retire at the end of the season. “There comes a time with every coach when you know it’s time, and that’s the way I feel,” he explained on Monday.
