Florida State University men\u2019s basketball team (4-4) suffered a blowout 88-72 loss to South Florida (3-4) on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It’s been three weeks since FSU\u2019s basketball team celebrated a victory, but head coach Leonard Hamilton pointed to the Orange Blossom Classic as an opportunity for a fresh start. The Noles traveled to Sunrise, Florida to face a USF club that before the weekend, had only won two games. But the Bulls used that as motivation, as they tumbled the Noles.<\/p>\n

\"South<\/p>\n

Florida State trailed the entire game, making just 18 of its 35 free throws. The Noles\u2019 leading scorer Jamir Watkins<\/a>scored 15 points, but, Coach Hamilton confirmed the team\u2019s 6-7 forward Cam\u2019Ron Fletcher<\/a> will be out for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. Fletcher averaged 6 points and five rebounds and was a key part of why the team got off to a 4-1 start earlier in the season.<\/p>\n
