The only thing missing was a capacity crowd.

Playing before only 2,950 fans due to COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, M.J. Walker competed in his final home game as a Florida State Seminole on Wednesday night, and the senior shooting guard put on a show.

Walker connected on 6 of 9 shots from 3-point range and led the No. 11 Seminoles with 18 points in a 93-64 rout of visiting Boston College.

Box Score: No. 11 FSU 93, Boston College 64

With the win, FSU improved to 15-4 overall and 11-3 in the ACC; Boston College fell to 4-14 and 2-10.

Florida State now will wrap up the regular season Saturday at noon at Notre Dame. If FSU wins that game, or if Virginia loses its finale Saturday at Louisville, the Seminoles will clinch their second consecutive ACC regular-season title and the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Walker's performance was that he hadn't practiced in about 10 days while battling slight knee and ankle injuries, and FSU's coaches weren't even sure he would be able to play until game day.

"I just had a feeling this morning," said Walker, who played with a light brace on his left knee. "I was like, 'There's no way I can go out like that ... not being able to play my last game at the Tuck.' I just toughened up and made my mind up to just roll with it -- like I always do.

"I'm glad I did," Walker said with a laugh. "I enjoyed it tonight, man. I had a great time."

The Seminoles, who were coming off a loss last Saturday at North Carolina, were dealing with other health concerns as well. Junior forward Malik Osborne missed Wednesday's game with a sore ankle, and freshman point guard Scottie Barnes had been battling a tonsillitis infection in recent days.

Hamilton said he wasn't sure whether Walker or Barnes, who started treatment with antibiotics on Tuesday, would be available until the team held its shootaround about five hours before tipoff.

"They both miraculously came around because they wanted to be a part of this night for the seniors," Hamilton said. "It speaks volumes about them."

While Walker was the top scorer, each of FSU's seniors got a chance to shine. Head coach Leonard Hamilton even started four graduate student walk-ons -- Justin Lindner, Will Miles, Travis Light and Harrison Prieto -- along with senior point guard RayQuan Evans.

Seniors Tanor Ngom and Nathanael Jack did not take part in the Senior Night festivities because they plan on returning with the Seminoles next season.

The game was never really in doubt as the Seminoles opened a double-digit lead midway through the first period. Walker connected on 4 of 5 shots from long range in the first half to lead the Seminoles to a 53-35 advantage at the break.

Because Hamilton started the four walk-ons, Walker didn't enter the contest until the 17:34 mark of the first half. Twelve seconds later, he drained his first 3-pointer.

Within his first three minutes on the court, he was 3-of-3 from long range.

"The way it felt coming out of my hand," Walker said of his first shot, "I knew I was going to be hot today."

Boston College was no match for the Seminoles, with the exception of sophomore guard Jay Heath, who led all scorers with 28 points.

When Walker checked out of the game with about five minutes remaining, he received a loud ovation from the home crowd and bent over and tapped the Seminole head logo at midcourt with both hands.

The senior from Atlanta said he didn't plan the gesture beforehand. He simply wanted to pay his respects to the FSU program and to his current and former teammates for all they have accomplished these past four seasons.

"That was just my little stamp on everything I put into this program," Walker said. "I couldn't be any more grateful [to my teammates and coaches] and proud of myself."

FSU's senior walk-ons then checked back in for the last time with 2:42 remaining and a 24-point lead, and they actually expanded the advantage by five points down the stretch.

Lindner led the group with four points, Miles scored two, and Prieto hit a 3-pointer on FSU's final shot.

Hamilton and Walker both said it was a fitting end to the home schedule.

"I'm so proud of Harry," Walker said of Prieto. "He's been a leader here for so many years. ... His dedication to the program. His heart is in the right place -- it's always been in the right place. And that shot, I was so proud of him. I lost my mind on that shot right there."
