Florida State started hitting some timely threes to keep Hofstra at arm's length, and they'd go on to win 79-61 behind Jamir Watkins' 17 points, Taylor Bol Bowen's 10, and Malique Ewin's 13. This was a good win over a good Hofstra team,

Florida State basketball (4-1) picked up a bounce-back victory over Hofstra (4-1), 79-61 on Tuesday at the Donald L. Tucker Center. The Seminoles gave Hofstra its first loss on the season, but the Pride made them earn every basket and proved why they were undefeated prior to Tuesday's matchup.

And while Hofstra got within two points early in the second, FSU quickly extended it back to double-digits and set it on cruise control for the 79-61 victory. Given Hofstra’s 4-0 start, this might have been FSU’s best performance of the season.

Many FSU Basketball fans will remember Hofstra's upset win over the Seminoles in the 2015 Paradise Jam, as the Pride beat a team with Dwayne Bacon, Malik Beasley, and more. It's an upset that has stuck with me for years,
