Seminoles Host Razorbacks in Women's Basketball Showdown at Donald L. Tucker Civic Center
In a competitive matchup at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center, the Florida State Seminoles faced off against the Arkansas Razorbacks in women's basketball. The Seminoles, with a rank of 15, were unable to secure victory against their unranked opponents, concluding the game with a score of 58-71.
The Florida State Seminoles started strong in the first quarter with 13 points but matched closely by the Razorbacks' 11. Both teams maintained their momentum into the second quarter, each adding another 13 points to their tallies. However, it was during the third quarter that Arkansas pulled ahead significantly, outscoring Florida State by an impressive margin and securing 24 points to just six from the home team. Despite a valiant effort in which they rallied for an additional 26 points in the fourth quarter, it wasn't enough for Florida State to close the gap.
The Seminoles showcased determination on defense with seven blocks and six steals throughout the game but struggled offensively with an overall field goal percentage of just under 29 percent and three-point completion rate of only about 24 percent. They also recorded more turnovers than assists which contributed to their difficulties in establishing a consistent offensive rhythm.
On offense for Florida State University (FSU), two-point attempts were made at roughly a similar rate as their opponents', but both teams had low success rates hovering around just over 31 percent from within this range. The Seminoles did manage to make more free throws than Arkansas – converting approximately 71 percent of attempts compared to Arkansas' nearly 73 percent – yet this was not sufficient to overcome other shortcomings.
Arkansas capitalized on FSU's turnovers scoring fourteen points off them while also dominating rebounds with fifty-one total compared to FSU's fifty-five; however, FSU did manage eleven offensive rebounds contributing slightly towards second-chance opportunities.
