TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida State newcomers Diego Romero and Ralph Mims combined for 35 points in a season-opening 71-62 victory Friday over Texas Southern.
Romero, a junior college transfer playing his first game in two seasons, scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Seminoles (1-0). Mims, a freshman guard, added 17 points and seven rebounds.
Two free throws by Sean Walker pulled Texas Southern to within 71-67 with 4:28 to play, before Mims finished off a 5-0 run for the Seminoles. His driving layup with 46 seconds to play for a 66-57 lead finished off the Tigers (0-1).
Romero connected on 5 of 6 shots from the floor and 7 of 11 from the free throw line, and freshman point guard Isaiah Swann added eight points for the Seminoles.
Walker led Texas Southern with 18 points.
Florida State threatened to run away with the game midway through the second half, opening up a 50-36 lead. The Tigers countered with 11 unanswered points, capped by Justin Wilson's 3-pointer, to get within 50-47, but the Tigers could never get closer.
Wilson finished with 14 points and six rebounds, while Mike Sneed had 10 points and seven rebounds.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Travis Bailey's 3-pointer with 27 seconds to play broke a 65-all tie and his two free throws with four seconds left lifted Texas A&M-Corpus Christi to a 70-67 upset of Florida State on Monday night.
Florida State guard Todd Galloway's desperation 3-pointer as the final horn sounded bounced out of the rim, sealing the victory.
Bailey, one of four senior starters for the Division I independent Islanders (2-0), scored a career-high 29 points. It was the first win over an Atlantic Coast Conference team for the six-year old program, and arguably its biggest.
The Seminoles (1-1) scored the final 11 points to close the first half for a 36-32 lead, but couldn't sustain that momentum. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi opened the second half with a 13-2 run as Florida State missed its first seven shots.
After trailing by as many as eight points, the Seminoles got back in the game behind Al Thornton's 15 points. FSU took its only lead of the second half at 61-60 with 4:22 to play on a pair of Von Wafer free throws.
A pair of free throws by Josh Ervin and Seth Engelken's 3-pointer gave the Islanders a 65-61 lead. Andrew Wilson tipped in a Thornton miss to tie the game at 65 before Bailey finished off the Seminoles.
Diego Romero, Galloway and Wafer each scored 10 points for the Seminoles, expected to be an NCAA contender in their second season under Leonard Hamilton.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Adam Waleskowski hit two free throws and a jumper to ignite a 20-4 scoring run to close the first half as Florida State pulled away from Shawnee State for an 88-65 victory on Wednesday night.
Alexander Johnson scored 14 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Waleskowski and Von Wafer added 10 points each for the Seminoles (2-1), who were coming off a Monday night loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Shawnee State (2-3), an NAIA school from Ohio, led 20-19 with 7:42 to play in the first half but couldn't keep pace. The Bears turned the ball over 20 times and were outscored 42-22 in the paint.
Adam Davenport led Shawnee State with 16 points and nine rebounds.
Florida State pushed its lead to 20 points six minutes into the second half and the Bears never got closer than 12. Nine Seminoles scored at least six points, led by the freshmen guard trio of Isaiah Swann, Ralph Mims and Jason Rich, who combined for 10 assists and 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting.
The two teams were paired in the second-round of the six-team Corpus Christi Challenge, which continues this weekend in Texas. Florida State will meet Kent State on Saturday and close the round-robin event Sunday against TCU.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - Von Wafer had 19 points and Florida State used a 16-0 run late in the second half to beat Minnesota 70-69 on Tuesday night in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge.
The Seminoles (3-3) trailed by 14 point with 7 minutes to play. Todd Galloway's 3-pointer from the corner with 2:05 to play put the Seminoles ahead 65-63, their first lead since 2-0.
Minnesota's Jeff Hagen tied the score at 65 with 1:51 to play, but Wafer hit a 3-pointer 20 seconds later to put the Seminoles back on top.
After a free throw by Vincent Grier, the Golden Gophers forced a turnover but Grier missed a long jump shot and Al Thornton hit a fastbreak layup to seal the win for Florida State.
Grier scored 23 points to lead Minnesota (2-3), while Dan Coleman added 14 and Aaron Robinson 11.
Grier, a junior forward who entered the night leading the Big Ten in scoring at 19 points per game, scored in streaks from all over the court. The Gophers fed off his energy to take control early. He scored 13 points in the first 12 minutes of the game, hitting three 3-pointers and two shots inside the paint, as Minnesota built a double-digit lead.
Grier helped the Gophers pull away in the second half, scoring seven points in 1:40 span to build a 59-47 lead with 11:30 to play.
However, the Gophers went 5 minutes without scoring.
Thornton scored 12 points for the Seminoles, while Galloway added 10.

OXFORD, MS - Mississippi had its opportunity and Jason Rich took it away.
Rich scored 12 points, including a layup on a steal in the final 12 seconds Saturday to lift Florida State to a 69-64 win over Ole Miss.
Rich, a freshman reserve, scored seven of the final eight points for Florida State (4-3), who nearly squandered a 16-point second-half lead.
"I thought the first half was the best half we've played this year. We lost our focus in the second half, but that had more to do with Mississippi and their defense, plus their shooting on the perimeter," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "This is one of the tough places in America to get a road win and we're fortunate to get one."
Ole Miss (2-4) had an opportunity to tie the game on the final possession, but Rich forced the turnover and quickly converted the layup that sealed it.
"He's a gifted player," Hamilton said.
"What he did in the final eight minutes doesn't surprise me because that's the type of player he is. Obviously, he made the big play when we needed it."
Alexander Johnson also had 12 points for the Seminoles. Anthony Richardson added 10 points for Florida State, all coming in the first half.
Londrick Nolen and Justin Johnson had 14 points apiece, while Tommie Eddie added 13 and a game-high nine rebounds for Ole Miss.
The Rebels rallied from a 47-31 deficit with 17:46 remaining, but failed on four possessions with an opportunity to tie or take the lead in the final seven minutes.
"We're close. We've lost two close games (Arkansas State and Florida State) when we've come from behind with a chance to win it," Mississippi coach Rod Barnes said. "It's tough, but it's clear that we're still getting better. There were opportunities in the first half to fold the tent and we didn't. But we had a chance to win the game and we didn't."
Florida State led 44-28 at halftime as Todd Galloway and Richardson had eight points apiece. Galloway hit three consecutive shots, including a pair of 3-pointers as the Seminoles snapped an early 4-4 tie with a 10-0 run that gave them a lead they never surrendered.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Jayce Lewis' 3-pointer with 1:51 to play gave Florida International the lead and Ismael N'Diaye sank five free throws in the final 30 seconds in a 65-60 upset of Florida State.
N'Diaye, playing with a stress fracture in his right foot, scored a career-high 22 points to lead the Golden Panthers (5-3) to their first victory over the Seminoles in eight attempts. It was also FIU's first victory over an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent.
Florida State (4-4) rallied from a 40-25 second-half deficit to take a 52-51 lead on a pair of Alexander Johnson free throws with 6:10 to play.
FIU regained the lead on three free throws from Junior Matias, but Andrew Wilson countered with a 3-pointer and Isaiah Swann's 15-foot jumper gave the Seminoles a 57-54 lead.
The Golden Panthers closed out the game by outscoring the Seminoles 11-2, aided by a commanding 41-31 rebound advantage.
Matias contributed 15 points for FIU. Johnson led the Seminoles with 11 points and Anthony Richardson added 10.
Leading 24-22 at the half, FIU opened the second half with a 16-3 run, fueled by 10 points from N'Diaye. A pair of Matias free throws gave the Golden Panthers their largest lead with 14:08 to play as the Seminoles didn't score their first field goal of the second half until Johnson's tip-in with 13:48 to play.
Florida State came into the game shooting 49 percent from the floor, but missed 32 of 49 shots (34.7 percent) against FIU's relentless man-to-man defense.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Reserve senior forward Adam Waleskowski scored a career-high 24 points as Florida State pulled away from South Alabama in the second half Thursday for its most lopsided victory of the season, 83-52.
The Seminoles (5-4) opened a 45-33 lead with 15:05 to play on a Waleskowski three-point play and followed with a 9-0 run.
South Alabama (3-5) came into the game allowing just 61 points on average, but trailed 62-38 with 8:54 left in the game. The Seminoles connected on 30 of 55 shot attempts - 19 of 31 in the second half - and out-rebounded the Jaguars 48-25.
Al Thornton contributed 12 points off the bench as the Florida State reserves accounted for 53 points in all. Starters Jason Rich and Alexander Johnson had 11 and 10, respectively, for the Seminoles.
Carlos Smith led the Jaguars with 13 points and Richard Law added 11. Their leading scorer, Mario Jointer, managed just eight points on 2 of 13 shooting.
South Alabama led 18-17 with 6:41 to play in the first half following a Jointer 3-pointer, but the Seminoles used a 15-5 run to close the half for a 32-23 lead. The Jaguars managed just one field goal in the first after Jointer's go-ahead basket.
The Seminoles out-rebounded the Jaguars 22-11 at the half and outscored the visitors 12-4 in the paint. South Alabama missed 18 of 25 before the break.
Florida State held a decided 19-10 advantage in bench scoring, led by 11 from Waleskowski.

COLLEGE PARK, MD - John Gilchrist made two free throws with 6.6 seconds left in overtime to cap a 21-point, 13-rebound performance, and No. 23 Maryland opened defense of its Atlantic Coast Conference title by squeezing past Florida State 90-88 Sunday night.
Gilchrist's two free throws snapped a tie, and the Terrapins (6-2) held on after having blown a 13-point lead. Six Maryland players scored in double figures, including D.J. Strawberry, who had five of his 11 points in overtime.
Adam Waleskowski led the Seminoles (5-5) with 23 points, a worthy encore to his career-high 24-point performance against South Alabama on Thursday. But Florida State committed 25 turnovers in losing its 25th consecutive ACC road game.
Maryland opened its league schedule last season by losing at Florida State and went 7-9 in the conference before winning the ACC tournament for the first time since 1984. For a while, it appeared as if the Terrapins would again drop their league opener.
The Seminoles score the first two baskets in overtime, but Strawberry answered with three free throws in six attempts, then scored off a steal to put Maryland up 85-84.
Von Wafer scored on a tip-in for FSU before Mike Jones hit a 3-pointer for Maryland, his only points of the game.
After Jason Rich hit a jumper to tie it, Gilchrist made two free throws. But the victory wasn't ensured until a 3-point attempt by Wafer bounced off the rim.
The Terrapins led by seven at halftime and 59-46 with 14:28 left, but Florida State used a 12-3 run to take its first lead, 79-78 with 1:38 left. The game went into overtime tied at 80 after Maryland's Nik Caner-Medley missed badly on a baseline jumper at the end of regulation.
Gilchrist, a junior guard, recorded his second career double-double and led the Terrapins with eight assists.
FSU trailed by nine points before Waleskowski made a 3-pointer, two free throws and a layup in a 7-1 run that made it 66-63. Chris McCray then made two foul shots and Caner-Medley added a three-point play to ignite a 9-4 spurt that put Maryland up 75-67 with 5:28 left.
But the lead wouldn't last, in part because the Terrapins failed to make a field goal over the final 3:22 of regulation.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Von Wafer scored a career-high 22 points and Anthony Richardson added 16 points and 10 rebounds as Florida State beat Stetson 71-61 on Thursday night.
Struggling to find a rhythm against Stetson's zone defense, the Seminoles (7-5) managed to get their third win in four games.
The Hatters (2-5) stayed close behind on the shooting of Anthony Register. Register scored all of his team-high 17 points in the second half, including nine of the Hatters final 15 points.
Wafer, 6-of-12 on 3-point attempts, gave the Seminoles a 65-51 lead with a pair of free throws and 2:41 to play. Register followed with a 3-pointer and two free throws, and E.J. Gordon's layup got Stetson within 65-58 with 1:50 to go.
Adam Waleskowski added 13 points for the Seminoles. E.J. Gordon scored 15 points for the Hatters and Borislav Djordjic added 10 for Stetson, which has lost four of its last five games.
Stetson led 22-21 with 5:20 to play in the first half following a pair of Will Holloman free throws before Florida State went on a 15-5 run to close the half for a 36-27 lead.
The Seminoles regained the lead on a Wafer layup and he added a 3-pointer to lead the surge. Guard Todd Galloway provided a big lift, feeding Antonio Griffin for a dunk, drawing a charge which led to Wafer's 3-pointer. Galloway followed up with a 3-pointer as the Seminoles pushed their lead to 32-24.

NEW ORLEANS, LA - Tack Minor scored a career-high 23 points and dished out 9 assists to help LSU beat Florida State 67-50 Thursday night in the Sugar Bowl Classic.
The Tigers (6-3) were coming off two straight losses and trying to avoid the first three-game December losing streak since Dale Brown's final season as coach in 1996.
Florida State (7-6) had won three of its last four games outrebounding its opponents and outscoring them by an average of 20.8 points per game.
The Seminoles came nowhere near those marks against the Tigers, shooting 41 percent from the field and being outrebounded by LSU 42-30. Florida State also had 16 turnovers.
It was the sixth time this season that Minor has scored in double figures. Antonio Hudson scored 18 for LSU.
Florida State was led by Jason Rich with 10 points.
While LSU's up-tempo offense has put the Tigers at the top of the Southeastern Conference in scoring, the defense has given up at least 79 points in each of the last three games.
Against the Seminoles they were more effective, especially in the second half when they held Florida State to 9-of-26 from the field.
Both teams were cold to start the second half. The first basket of the half came almost three minutes in when Von Wafer scored to cut LSU's lead to 35-29. Five minutes into the half the Tigers led 41-33 as LSU shot 25 percent and the Seminoles 20 percent.
Florida State pulled to within five - 47-42 - on a basket by Jason Rich with 7:52 left. But the Tigers used a 10-2 run to go up 58-44.
The Tigers streaked ahead taking a 33-18 lead with 3:54 left in the first half. But Florida State rallied with a 9-2 run to cut the lead to 35-27 at halftime.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Von Wafer hit six of his first seven 3-point attempts and finished with 20 points Sunday to lead Florida State to an 82-69 upset over Florida.

Florida State (8-6) led 45-32 at halftime with a 10-0 run over the final 47 seconds, sparked by Thornton.
Thornton and Alexander Johnson each had nine rebounds and Waleskowski grabbed eight as the Seminoles finished with a 44-20 advantage on the boards, 16-5 on the offensive end.

The Gators did close within 69-60 on a layup by Anthony Roberson, who had 22 points. Lee Humphrey added 15 for the Gators.
Florida State shot 51 percent for the game, including 60 percent from 3-point range, while Florida hit 46 percent, including 41.7 percent from beyond the arc.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Adam Waleskowski sparked a 15-2 run late in the game and Von Wafer finished with 21 points as Florida State beat Virginia Tech 77-70 on Saturday.
Waleskowski's 3-pointer tied the game at 64-64 with 5:30 left and a pair of free throws by Andrew Wilson with 1:12 remaining gave the Seminoles a 76-66 lead.
During the run, Waleskowski also sank four straight free throws, made a steal and grabbed a key rebound that led directly to another score.
Waleskowski finished with 13 points and a team-high six rebounds while Wilson was in double figures for the first time this season with 10 points.
Zabian Dowdell led the Hokies with 18 points, Coleman Collins added 16 and Carlos Dixon 15.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Olu Babalola hit a go-ahead jumper with just over two minutes remaining and Clemson's defense made up for a poor shooting night to help the Tigers to a 56-54 win over Florida State on Wednesday night.
The Tigers (10-5, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a 12-game conference road losing streak, which extended back to a 73-64 victory against Virginia in February 2003. Clemson shot just 35 percent from the field, but took advantage of 22 FSU turnovers.
The Seminoles (9-7, 1-2) failed to hit another field goal following Von Wafer's 3-pointer with 4:26 to play, getting only two free throws from Alexander Johnson the rest of the way. Florida State committed two costly turnovers in the game's final 1:49.
The Seminoles' leading scorer, Wafer, had been FSU's best long range shooter, but the Clemson defense held him to just 5 points and one 3-pointer on 2-of-8 shooting.
Cliff Hammonds led Clemson with 12 points while Sharrod Ford added 11 points and 12 rebounds and Shawan Robinson finished with 10 points.
Johnson was the only Florida State player to score in double-figures with a career-high 20 points, but he was limited in the closing stretch after picking up his fourth foul with 6:58 to go.
Clemson led 27-26 at halftime, despite shooting a dismal 28.6 percent from the field. The Seminoles held Clemson without a basket until Vernon Hamilton's 3-pointer nearly eight minutes into the game.

CORAL GABLES, FL - When Guillermo Diaz hit a 3-pointer for the Miami Hurricanes, he pounded his chest and screamed taunts in an opponent's face.
Later, with the game on the line, Diaz backed up his brash behavior. The talented guard made an 8-footer with 8 seconds left to cap a comeback by surprising Atlantic Coast Conference newcomer Miami, which won its third consecutive league game Saturday, beating Florida State 64-63.
"I don't feel any pressure," Diaz said. "I know I can make plays at the end."
The Seminoles led for most of the game and were up by four points with 90 seconds left, but endured their 26th straight conference road loss.
After Miami forced a turnover on an inbounds pass with 34 seconds to go, Diaz made a slashing, spinning move in the lane to beat four defenders, then made the game-winner.
"Diaz is one of those once-in-a-lifetime-type players most coaches would love to have," Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton said.
Florida State's Anthony Richardson tried a 15-footer that fell short with 2 seconds left, and Anthony Harris rebounded for Miami to clinch the win.
The Hurricanes (12-3, 3-1) won for the 11th time in 12 games. Picked for last place in the league before the season, they're instead in the thick of the race heading into a showdown at home Wednesday against No. 5 Duke.
"We know we're a good team and can play with anybody in the country," guard Robert Hite said.
The Seminoles (9-8, 1-3) remained winless in road league games since March 2001. They lost despite a career-high 25 points by Von Wafer.
"This team does have a chance to develop into a pretty good team," Hamilton said. "The future is bright, but the ACC is an unforgiving league. We're going to really have to step it up a notch if we're going to dig out of this little hole we're in."
Diaz led Miami with 19 points and plenty of emotion. He sank a 3-pointer over Wafer early in the second half, then pounded his chest and screamed in Wafer's face while retreating upcourt.
"Friendly talking," Diaz said. "We do that just for fun to make the game more exciting."
Wafer also talked trash to Diaz, and both players were admonished by the officials.
"I tried to get in his head a little bit," Wafer said. "That didn't work. ... He's mentally tough. He let his game speak. My game wasn't strong enough. So he won that battle."
Hite scored 18 points for the Hurricanes, and William Frisby had 12 rebounds to help give them a 41-31 edge on the boards.
"This team is growing up right before our eyes," coach Frank Haith said.
The Seminoles scored nine straight points, five by Wafer, for a 55-52 lead with 5 minutes left. Wafer's 3-pointer made it 61-57, but Hite answered with a 3 to cut the lead to one.
Adam Waleskowski made two free throws for Florida State with 51 seconds left for a 63-60 lead. Harris had a chance to tie the game with 37 seconds remaining but made only two of three free throws.
Then came the costly turnover by the Seminoles. Waleskowski's pass from under the Miami basket led teammate Isaiah Swann too much, and the ball rolled out of bounds next to the Hurricanes bench, prompting a roar from the crowd of 6,323.
Diaz then made his move to give Miami the victory.
"Everybody knew he was going to take it," the Seminoles' Andrew Wilson said. "He just made a great play."

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Todd Galloway scored nine straight points in overtime and finished with a career-high 21 to help Florida State snap No. 3 Wake Forest's 10-game winning streak with a 91-83 victory Tuesday night.
Wake Forest (15-2, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) had a chance for a miraculous win at the end of regulation when Taron Downey was fouled while making a desperation 3-pointer that tied it at 76. But Downey missed the free throw, the Demon Deacons' first miss from the line after hitting an NCAA-record 50 straight.
Wake Forest made 32 straight in Saturday in a 95-82 win over North Carolina and its first 18 Tuesday night before Downey's miss.
Von Wafer scored 25 of his career-high 30 points in the first half as Florida State (10-8, 2-3) twice opened 19-point leads on its way to a 46-32 lead at halftime.
Wafer was 6-of-8 from 3-point range and 9-of-13 overall in the first half. He was one of three Seminoles who had career highs in the game.
Al Thornton and Galloway took up the slack after Wafer cooled.
Galloway scored nine points in just over 2 minutes to give the Seminoles an 89-80 lead with 37 seconds left.
Thornton scored 20 of his 26 points after halftime, including Florida State's first four of the overtime, and finished with a game-high 10 rebounds.
Paul scored 29 points, just one shy of his career high, Downey added 21 and Eric Williams had 18 for Wake Forest.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - J.J. Redick scored a season-high 31 points and No. 4 Duke remained unbeaten with an 88-56 victory over Florida State on Saturday.
The Blue Devils (15-0, 5-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) were never in trouble, jumping to an 18-8 lead and steadily building it to as many as 33 late in the game.
Redick waved bye-bye at Florida State's student section after his fifth 3-point basket of the first half ripped through the net at buzzer. He scored 19 as the Blue Devils took a 44-26 halftime lead.
The 6-foot-4 sharpshooter was 9 of 18 from the floor, including 8 of 11 from 3-point distance and perfect in five tries at the line.
Isiah Swann came off the bench to lead Florida State with 13 points and Von Wafer added 10, eight in the second half.
Wafer, Al Thornton and Todd Galloway, who combined for 77 points in Tuesday's upset victory over Wake Forest, totaled just five in the first half on 2-for-12 shooting.
Daniel Ewing added 14 points, and Shelden Williams contributed 11 points and 13 rebounds to help Duke to a 37-28 advantage on the boards. Shavlik Randolph was 5-for-5 from the field and finished with 10 points.
Florida State (10-9, 2-4) started cold, hitting just four of its first 20 field goal tries as Duke bolted to a 31-14 lead.
Duke shot 55.4 percent for the game to Florida State's 33.3 percent.

RALEIGH, NC - Von Wafer scored 23 points Wednesday and Florida State earned its first conference road win in nearly four years by beating North Carolina State 70-64.
Al Thornton scored 12 points for the Seminoles (11-9, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had lost 26 straight road games in the league. Alexander Johnson added 11 to give Florida State its first ACC road win since beating Clemson 75-63 on March 3, 2001.
Julius Hodge scored 14 points for the Wolfpack (12-7, 2-4), which continued its up-and-down ways in conference play. The Wolfpack has beaten Georgia Tech and won at Maryland, but lost to league newcomers Virginia Tech and Miami.
Florida State shot 49 percent for the game and went 8-for-16 from 3-point range. The Seminoles also hit 18 of 22 free throws.
The Seminoles trailed by eight with about 6 minutes left in the first half, but used a 20-4 run before the break to take a 33-25 lead at halftime. Wafer then scored eight quick points, hitting two 3-pointers and throwing down a slam off a turnover to push that lead to 45-31 with 17:03 left.
The Wolfpack kept fighting, inching closer to the Seminoles as the clock wound down into the final minutes. Trailing 65-57, Jordan Collins hit his only 3-pointer of the game, and Engin Atsur scored off a feed from Gavin Grant on consecutive possessions to close the gap to three.
But the Wolfpack got no closer. Trailing 66-63 in the final seconds, Collins airballed a 3 from the right wing, and Adam Waleskowski hit two free throws to essentially seal it with 8.7 seconds left.
N.C. State didn't help itself from the free-throw line. The Wolfpack hit 13 of 23 free throws, while Grant, Collins and Hodge combined to go 2-for-6 in the final 1:44.
Florida State controlled the first half, shooting 54 percent and holding the Wolfpack to 8-for-26 shooting. Wafer scored 11 on 4-for-5 shooting, and Waleskowski hit a long 3 just before the buzzer for the eight-point lead at the break.
N.C. State shot 54 percent in the second half, but couldn't overcome that deficit.

ATLANTA, GA - Even though the winning play was set up for Jarrett Jack, Will Bynum was an option and he made it count.
Bynum made up for a poor first half by hitting a 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left to give No. 25 Georgia Tech a 64-61 victory over Florida State on Wednesday night.
"It was up to Jarrett whether he was to pass or not. It was a pick-and-roll. He decided to give it to me," said Bynum, who had the go-ahead basket in three NCAA tournament wins last season, when the Yellow Jackets lost in the final to Connecticut.
"I had no hesitation. There are times when you're in the gym when you're growing up, that's what brings you there," the senior guard said.
Bynum, who shot 1-of-8 in the opening half, hit the game-winner after Florida State made up a 12-point deficit by going on a 19-7 run to tie it at 61 on a 3-pointer by Von Wafer with 1:29 remaining.
Georgia Tech (13-6, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), which only last month was ranked No. 8, needed the win badly after losing four of its last five games.
"I put the ball in Jarrett's hands and he came off the screen and he had options," Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. "Obviously, Will was one of the top three options. Jarrett made a great decision, and Will made the shot."
The Seminoles (11-10, 3-5) had a chance to go ahead with 35.5 seconds left, but Diego Romero missed a pair of free throws. Georgia Tech called timeout with 16.3 seconds remaining to set up Bynum's winning basket.
"Almost isn't good enough," Florida State guard Todd Galloway said. "It doesn't mean anything if you don't pull it off."
Bynum finished with 19 points. He quickly made up for his first-half woes by scoring 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting during a 15-7 run to give the Yellow Jackets a 42-40 lead just 4:30 into the second.
The rest of the Yellow Jackets then took over. Luke Schenscher scored six points and Mario West five during a 27-9 run for a 54-42 lead with 9:55 to go.
The Seminoles, however, weren't done, allowing only seven points in the final nine minutes until Bynum's big basket.
"We understood we were down and had to pick up our intensity," Galloway said. "We weren't going to let them get any easy baskets."
Bynum finished 7-of-18, including 3-for-8 on 3s. Schenscher and West each added 10 points.
Florida State took a 33-27 lead on a 3-pointer by Jason Rich as time ran out in the first half.
The Seminoles got off to a quick start, leading 18-10 with 9:13 gone on a 3 by leading scorer Wafer, who had eight first-half points and finished with 18.
Romero was the only other Florida State player in double figures, scoring 10.
Georgia Tech, however, went on an 11-2 run capped by a 15-foot jumper from Anthony McHenry to claim its first lead of the game at 21-20 with 7:02 left before halftime.
Florida State won two of its previous three games, including a 91-83 overtime win over then-No. 5 Wake Forest. The Seminoles snapped a 26-game ACC road losing streak in their last game, a 70-64 win at North Carolina State last Wednesday.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Rashad McCants' dunk ignited a 25-6 run down the stretch and No. 2 North Carolina beat Florida State 81-60 on Sunday.
Florida State (11-11, 3-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) clawed back from an 18-point first-half deficit to within 49-48 on Diego Romero's 3-pointer with 14:16 left.
But McCants, who led all scorers with 16 points, dunked a pass from Raymond Felton 20 seconds later. Within 9 minutes the Tar Heels were up 74-54 as Florida State went scoreless for more than 7 minutes.
A year ago North Carolina blew a 24-point lead at Florida State, losing 90-81 in overtime.
McCants capped a 16-2 run in the first half with a layup that helped North Carolina to a 38-20 lead before Florida State closed out the half with nine straight points.
Felton added 14 points while Sean May and Marvin Williams each had 13 for the Tar Heels.
North Carolina (19-2, 8-1) shot just 40 percent, but committed only nine turnovers for the second straight game while Florida State had 22.
Von Wafer led Florida State with 14 points and Adam Waleskowski added 13.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA - Devin Smith hit a 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left to give Virginia its only lead Wednesday night and the Cavaliers beat Florida State 56-55.
Virginia (12-9, 3-7 Atlantic Coast Conference), coming off a 64-62 victory at North Carolina State that was just their 11th in 53 ACC road games under Pete Gillen, badly needed the victory. The Cavaliers got it because Smith hit his last two shots, both 3-pointers, in the final 4 minutes.
The Seminoles (11-12, 3-7) led throughout after scoring the first nine points. They built their advantage as high as 14 early in the second half, then didn't make a field goal in the final 8:08 of play and didn't score after Von Wafer hit a pair of free throws with 3:54 to go.
An acrobatic layup by J.R. Reynolds got Virginia within 55-52 with 3:04 left, and Smith hit 1 of 2 free throws with 2:13 to play to make it 55-53. Several scoreless possessions later, after Wafer was called for a charge with 31.3 seconds left, the Cavaliers rebounded their own miss, found Smith on the right wing and his high-arcing swish won it.
Elton Brown led Virginia with 13 points despite not starting for the second straight game. Reynolds added 12 and Smith had 11 and, in the first half, became the 39th Virginia player to reach 1,000 points.
Wafer led the Seminoles with 16 points.
Trailing 41-27 after Florida State started the second half on a 10-4 run, the Cavaliers used an immediate 9-2 run to close within seven, cut it to five at 46-41 on Sean Singletary's 3-pointer with 9:26 left and to within 53-50 with 4:23 to play on Smith's first 3-pointer in six tries.
The Seminoles led throughout the first half after opening the game on a 9-0 run. Smith's layup 21 seconds before halftime made it 31-23 and drew cheers because it put him over the 1,000-point career mark.

WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Justin Gray scored 20 points, Eric Williams had 15 points and a career-high 14 rebounds and No. 6 Wake Forest avenged a heartbreaking loss earlier in the season by routing Florida State 87-48 on Saturday.
Sixth-man Taron Downey ran his streak of 3-pointers to six before finally missing and finished with 14 points for the Demon Deacons (21-3, 9-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who lost in overtime at Tallahassee three weeks ago. In that one, Downey missed a free throw with less than a second left in regulation that would have won it, and Wake Forest came out intent on not letting this one slip away.
Von Wafer had 16 points for the Seminoles (11-13, 3-8), who tied it at 17 midway through the first half before their troubles began. They couldn't hold on to the ball, and when they did, shots that had been going in clanged off the rim, and the Deacons got their vaunted running game going.
Trent Strickland converted a pass from Gray into a layup, the start of a 31-11 run to close the half. Florida State was 1-of-11 at one point and had 11 turnovers in the first 20 minutes, while Wake Forest got points on 11 of 12 possessions to take control.
Downey made it 39-20 with a 3 and an easy basket after a steal, forcing a timeout by Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton. Adam Waleskowski momentarily stopped the drought with a layup, and Chris Paul was called for a charge on the other end to give the ball back to Florida State. That was Paul's second foul of the half, and he left for good with 4:53 left.
The Deacons hardly missed their star point guard. Jamaal Levy and Gray each made two free throws, Strickland slammed home a putback and Downey swished another jumper from beyond the arc to increase the margin to 48-24. Four points just before the break by Wafer kept Florida State within 20.
It didn't matter. After Alexander Johnson started the second half with a free throw for the Seminoles, Wake Forest removed any doubt about the outcome with eight straight points, including a beautiful fast-break basket by Gray. He faked a behind-the-back pass to Levy to completely fool Wafer, then cruised in for a layup.
Strickland added 10 points and Paul finished with eight points, seven assists and seven steals.
Jason Rich scored 11 points for the Seminoles, who have lost four straight since ending a 26-game road losing streak in the ACC by beating North Carolina State. They shot only 35 percent against Wake Forest, and their struggles were epitomized by Al Thornton.
He had 26 points in the upset of the Deacons, but fouled out of the rematch with about 9 minutes left with only four points.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - B.J. Elder's two free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining lifted Georgia Tech to a 76-75 win over Florida State on Sunday, the Seminoles' sixth straight loss.
Elder, who finished with a game-high 22 points, was fouled under the basket by Florida State's Andrew Wilson and coolly made both shots, sending the Seminoles to their eighth loss by three points or fewer this season.
Florida State (11-15, 3-9 Atlantic Coast Conference) rallied from a 69-56 deficit with 8:49 remaining and took its only second-half lead with 9.7 seconds left. Al Thornton's turnaround jumper over Georgia Tech's 7-foot-4 center Luke Schenscher put the Seminoles up 75-74, but they couldn't hold on.
Schenscher had 14 points and six rebounds for Georgia Tech (15-8, 6-6 ACC), while Jarrett Jack had 10 points and a game-high six assists for the Yellow Jackets - who won despite not having any field goals in the final 3:43.
Thornton, who was 7-for-8 from the field and 6-for-8 from the foul line, had 20 points and a game-high seven rebounds for Florida State. Von Wafer had 14 points and Todd Galloway 13 for the Seminoles.
Georgia Tech won for the first time in its last three trips to Tallahassee.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Guillermo Diaz scored 19 points and Robert Hite added 17 Tuesday night to lead Miami to a 65-49 win over Florida State, handing the Seminoles their seventh straight loss.
Miami (16-9, 7-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) led 30-17 at the half, with Florida State managing only three points in the final 9:24 of the half.
Al Thornton came off the bench to lead the cold-shooting Seminoles with 12 points and eight rebounds. Isaiah Swann added 10.
The Seminoles (11-16, 3-10) shot 28.1 percent and just 16.6 percent from 3-point distance.
Florida State's starting lineup produced just 13 points, although the team's scoring leader, Von Wafer, did not start.
Wafer, who scored 25 points at Miami last month, and Thornton first entered the game with 3:23 left in the first half with the Seminoles trailing 28-16.
Anthony Harris had 13 points and William Frisby 11 for Miami while Diaz and Hite led the Hurricanes in rebounds with 8 and 7, respectively.
Miami shot 45.7 percent, but hit 8 of 16 from 3-point distance and had a 40-33 rebound advantage.
Florida State has now lost at least 10 ACC games for 12 straight seasons and the seven straight losses are the most since a similar streak in the 1998-99 season.

CLEMSON, SC - Sharrod Ford scored 21 points and pulled down 14 rebounds as Clemson climbed out of the Atlantic Coast Conference cellar with a 83-74 victory over Florida State on Sunday.
The Tigers (14-13, 4-10 ACC) led 48-36 with just over 11 minutes to go, but a 17-5 run by the Seminoles tied the game at 53 with just under six minutes to go.
The Tigers responded with a dunk by Ford and a 3-pointer by Cheyenne Moore.
Clemson would then hit 19 of 24 free throws in the final 4:16 and shot 31-of-47 from the foul line for the game. The Seminoles (11-17, 3-11) committed 32 fouls, and three Florida State players fouled out.
Moore scored 15 points, while Vernon Hamilton had 12 and Shawan Robinson added 11 for the Tigers, who need just one more win to be eligible for the NIT.
Al Thorton led Florida State with 15 points. Anthony Richardson added 13 for the Seminoles, who slipped into last place in the ACC.
Clemson outrebounded Florida State 40-25, and Ford's 14 boards were more than all five of the Seminole starters combined.
Clemson opened the game with a 16-8 lead, but Florida State scored 11 unanswered points to take a 19-18 lead with just over five minutes to go in the half.
The two teams were tied at 27 at the break before Clemson opened the second half on a 10-2 run.

CHAPEL HILL, NC - Sean May scored a career-high 32 points and had 12 rebounds Thursday night to help No. 2 North Carolina beat Florida State 91-76, giving the Tar Heels at least a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title.
Freshman Marvin Williams added 17 points, and Raymond Felton had 15 for the Tar Heels (25-3, 13-2 ACC), who have won 11 of 12 games to earn their first league title in four years.
North Carolina, which played without scoring leader Rashad McCants for the third straight game because if an intestinal disorder, can clinch the top seed in next week's ACC tournament - which would mark its first outright league crown since the NCAA championship season in 1993 - with a home win against No. 6 Duke on Sunday.
Al Thornton scored 19 points to lead the Seminoles (11-18, 3-12), who have lost nine straight games.
North Carolina had all kinds of trouble early with the pesky Seminoles, who seemingly couldn't miss in the first half and led 54-52 with about 13 minutes to play. But the Tar Heels played better defensively in the second half, going ahead to stay on a 3-pointer from Melvin Scott and gradually building a double-digit margin.
May was key in that effort, going 13-for-15 and finishing with his seventh straight double-double. That included hitting all 10 of his shots in the second half, and scoring 12 points in a decisive run that put the Tar Heels ahead 81-68 with about four minutes left.
The 6-foot-9 junior reached the 1,000-point mark for his career with nine points in the first half, making him the 57th player in school history to reach the plateau. His previous career high was 28 points against Georgia Tech last season.
May led a balanced effort by the Tar Heels, who won despite missing McCants' 16 points per game. Felton had 10 assists and five rebounds, while junior reserve David Noel had a career-best eight assists.
Florida State certainly surprised the Tar Heels in the first half, shooting 60 percent and hitting eight 3-pointers to lead 44-41 at the break. Waleskowski and Thorton led that effort, combining for 24 points on 10-for-12 shooting.
And while the Tar Heels shot 53 percent in the half, that shoddy defensive performance no doubt had coach Roy Williams seething in the locker room.
In the second half, the Tar Heels held Florida State to 11-for-30 shooting, partly through better defensive intensity and partly from the Seminoles finally coming back down to earth.
After Scott's 3 gave the Tar Heels a 55-54 lead, May followed with a jumper and an alley-oop slam off a feed from Felton for a five-point edge. He later twice got loose inside off feeds from Noel, who also assisted on a 3 from Williams during that run.
May punctuated his career night with a powerful slam for a 91-76 lead with about 30 seconds left.

TALLAHASSEE, FL - Adam Waleskowski's 12 points led four players in double figures Sunday as Florida State defeated Virginia 68-63 and snapped its longest losing streak in 20 years at nine games.
Florida State (12-18, 4-12 Atlantic Coast Conference) led 32-21 at halftime and built a 20-point lead early in the second half at 47-27, but nearly frittered it away, making just two field goals in the last 12:12.
Virginia (13-14, 4-12) pulled to within 57-54 on Gary Forbes' fourth 3-pointer of the second half with 2:51 left, but Florida State's Al Thornton answered with a running jumper underneath the basket with 2:27 left.
Two free throws by Devin Smith with 1:26 left pulled Virginia to within 61-58, but Florida State hit seven free throws in the final minute to hang on.
Smith led all scorers with 22 points to go along with a game-high 10 rebounds while Forbes added 17, all in the second half.
Anthony Richardson added 11 points while Jason Rich and Al Thornton finished with 10 each.
Florida State's leading scorer on the season, Von Wafer, was scoreless for the second straight game.
Both teams will play Thursday night in opening round play at the ACC tournament in Washington.

WASHINGTON, DC - Ilian Evtimov had five 3-pointers in the first half and scored 18 points, helping North Carolina State hold off Florida State 70-54 Thursday in the opening round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
Engin Atsur added 17 for the Wolfpack (18-12), who moved on to the quarterfinals and a rematch with Wake Forest. In the teams' previous meeting earlier this week, Wake Forest point guard Chris Paul punched N.C. State's Julius Hodge in the groin, leading to a one-game suspension for Paul.
Even though Paul won't be there Friday, the matchup is sure to be emotionally charged, particularly considering how the Demon Deacons won that game. Justin Gray hit a tying 3-pointer in the final minute, then Paul drove the length of the court in the final seconds for a runner to win it.
That loss dropped the Wolfpack to 7-9 in the ACC, so even their dominating victory over the Seminoles (12-19) likely won't be enough to secure an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.
Hodge had 14 points and seven assists to help N.C State coach Herb Sendek improve to 12-8 in the ACC tournament. Point guard Tony Bethel left early in the second with an injury to his left leg, and his status for the rest of the season wasn't immediately clear.
Anthony Richardson led the Seminoles with 16, but leading scorer Von Wafer had only two, 10 below his average.
For Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton, the outcome at the MCI Center probably took him back to his days as coach of the Washington Wizards. He went 19-63 in his first season, then resigned after a long meeting with then-boss Michael Jordan.
The Seminoles scored only 19 points in the first half - two more than their previous low - and shot 31 percent. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack took control, with Evtimov leading the way.
The 6-foot-7 forward is the perfect piece for their Princeton-style offense, a deft ball handler and passer who has tremendous shooting range. He swished a 3 about a minute into the game to give N.C. State the lead for good at 3-0, and he added four more during the rest of the half to tie the school record for 3-pointers in an ACC tournament game.
The Wolfpack stretched the margin to 24 points in the second half before the Seminoles used a furious rally to get to 59-51. Al Thornton capped the comeback with a putback before N.C. State finished off their fourth straight opening-round victory at the free throw line.
