The Florida St. Seminoles were a game away from making the Final Four but recently lost to the Michigan Wolverines 58-54. Many who watched the end of the game are probably wondering why Florida St. decided not to foul at the end of the game. Although they were down by 4 points with about 11 seconds left and needed a lot of things to go their way to get back into the game we’ve all seen crazier things happen during this year’s March Madness. Apparently Florida St. Coach Leonard Hamilton doesn’t think that strategy would have helped his team win.

With a trip to the Final Four on the line, one would think a team would do anything possible to win. Florida St. felt the game was already decided and now we have Michigan advancing to the Final Four with a matchup against this year’s Cinderella, Loyola Chicago.
