The Donald L. Tucker Civic Center was alive with excitement as fans witnessed the home team, Florida State Seminoles, take control from the start. With a robust first-half performance that saw them rack up 49 points compared to Kennesaw State's 34, it was clear that they had come prepared to make a statement on their home court.

Florida State's offense was relentless and efficient; they shot an impressive 47 percent from the field and were particularly effective inside, where they made over half of their two-point attempts. Their three-point shooting also contributed significantly to their total score with an accuracy rate of 33 percent resulting in eleven successful shots beyond the arc.

Defensively, Florida State matched their offensive output by limiting Kennesaw State to just under 32 percent shooting from the field and a mere four three-pointers on twenty-five attempts (16 percent). The Seminoles' defensive pressure caused seventeen turnovers which translated into twelve points off turnovers for them.

The Seminole players showcased exceptional teamwork with twenty-three assists leading to many high-percentage shots and making it difficult for Kennesaw State defenders to predict who would take each shot. This collaborative effort was further highlighted by their rebounding; Florida State edged out Kennesaw with forty-eight rebounds including thirty-four defensive boards which helped limit second-chance opportunities for Kennesaw.

Kennesaw did put up some resistance despite being outmatched overall. They managed sixty-seven points led by strong free throw shooting where they made nineteen out of twenty-six attempts (73 percent). They also fought hard on glass securing forty-six rebounds but ultimately fell short against a more cohesive and dynamic Seminole squad.
