Miami blew a 25-point lead and lost a heartbreaker at home to Florida State 85-84 on Saturday.

Jim Larranagaā€™s team still has a lot to play for the regular season finale at home against Pittsburgh.

If Miami wins, theyā€™ll be the ACC regular season champs and have the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament.

So, while the FSU loss hurt Miami, they have an opportunity to erase the wounds quickly.
