The Friars have beaten Florida State, 101-95, at the Dunk in an impressive offensive showing by both teams.

Jeff Xavier led the Friars with an outstanding shooting game as he poured home 27 points and canned 7 threes. Weyinmi Efejuku was tough as well with 25 points and Randall Hanke added 15.

PC put together an 11-2 run that broke open a tight game and made it 88-77 with 4:20 left. PC still led by 11 points with three minutes to play but Florida State made one more push and cut the lead to 96-91 with 28 seconds left but the Friars hung on to win.

PC is now 8-3 on the season. FSU falls to 10-4.
