The Florida State Seminoles easily subdued the young but powerful Florida Gators, breaking the No. 25 team's 15-game win streak with a 65-51 beating.  The more experienced Seminoles raced to an early lead to score 36 points in the paint and 15 on fast breaks, the AP reports. Other upsets of Top-25 teams last night included:

  • No. 6 Louisville fell just short of Brigham Young, 78-76, in the Cougars' biggest upset since 1965. BYU now faces UNC in the finals of the Las Vegas Invitational.
  • Alan Voskuil's 28 points and five steals sparked Texas Tech's 73-63 win over No. 14 Gonzaga in the semifinals of the Great Alaska Shootout
