season. he is two of two this afternoon. loucks knocks it down. his fiancee, stevie -- stevi steinhauer. >> jim: it's not over yet, stevi. >> ian: four-point lead for the seminoles. second attempt is good. >> jim: you must take a good look right here, get to the bucket if you can in a hurry. >> ian: 65-60 florida state. >> jim: they have a foul to use if they want. >> ian: conger. buries it. a three. >> jim: he liked the right side before, now he likes the left side. >> ian: 65-63 with 25.2 left. they foul dulkys in the backcourt. >> jim: if you're the bonnies, the strategy is to do just what you are doing. mark schmidt has to turn this into like a 20-minute period of

time with only that short a period of time with 25 seconds left -- the ball fake, hesitation to get it up and get some rhythm and now you stretch the clock. great use of the dribble and just the defender knows he has to stay away at that point. terrific look. >> ian: deividas culkis, the senior. 84% on the season. he has not attempted a free throw here today. it's short. knocked outside. huge play by white, and a foul called. st. bonaventure had their chance on the defensive glass and it was the high-flier, okaro white rising up. >> jim: does anybody step up? he gets a perfect bounce and terrific effort to swipe it backhand. >> ian: now it's loucks. gets the roll. three-point lead for the seminoles. st. bonaventure, no time outs

remaining. >> jim: if you're the bonnies with 22 seconds left and change, i think you get it in to one of your guards and get to the basket. still enough time to drive to the basket. you don't need the three. >> ian: one-possession game. >> jim: they do have a foul to give, florida state, right now. >> ian: 15 seconds left. kloof. foul is given with 14 by snaer. >> jim: that's fine from florida state's perspective because that takes time off the clock. >> ian: now st. bonaventure has a chance to come up with a play from their sideline. mark schmidt. >> jim: now you start thinking when do you want to foul if you're going to, if you're florida state with a three-point differential. i don't think you foul unless the bonnies decide to hold this late in the clock. maybe you do it at five seconds or less. let's see if they go into it fast, though. >> ian: conger gives it up. kloof circling. three-point game. cook. rainbow delivery. no. it's over.

florida state wins it 66-63. st. bonaventure lost track of the situation down the stretch. the seminoles rally in the second half. we got a taste of the madness here in nashville and it's florida state advancing. >> jim: here is the concept. it's a three-point game. i don't mind this because there are still seven seconds. if that shot goes down you don't have a choice. that ball has to come out. i understand the concept. you have a young player right there aggressively trying to put the ball in the basket, the clock on your mind disappears for a second. unfortunately, they couldn't kick it back out. you see the reaction by florida state. >> ian: the defensive presence of bernard james. the bones fall short.

66-63. st. bonaventure, the 14 seed gave it a shot against florida state but it's the three seed moving on to a match-up with cincinnati on sunday. captioning by captionmax www.captionmax.com >> ian: let's head to our studios in new york. >> ernie: thank you very much, ian eagle, 66-63 the final as florida state a winner over st. bonaventure. >> ian: cbs will be back with prime time tournament coverage at 7:00 p.m. eerp time with lehigh and number two duke among the games in the time window including ohio and michigan, then in our prime-time double header games you will see xavier versus notre dame on cbs. right now tournament action is
