UM v FSU

UM 84—68 FSU

The orange pieces paced quickly to their seats,

Some entered with hope, some other with bribes,

The first whistle blows; the ball the first rim hits

The minutes pass, slow score—no vibes.

The teams throw punches, tit for tat;

The numbers rise, the other counters

Defensive fury as the offense falls flat,

A slow new rhythm as the half flounders.

Canes start second as the Seminoles rise

To a second half lead; then the defense again

Gains the power; FSU can’t play nice

And foul troubles compile as the canes take the gain

An 18-0 run as the arena explodes to a twenty point lead,

To protect their home undefeated: opponents take heed.
