ACC Defensive Player of the Year as he scored a single-season school record 751 points this season, while leading the ACC in scoring.
Douglas is the second Seminole to earn All-American Third Team honors in the last three seasons and the third Seminole in school history to earn All-American Third Team honors. Al Thornton, who led
the Seminoles in scoring and rebounding in 2007, and George McCloud, who led the Seminoles in scoring and assists in 1989, also earned All-American Third Team honors by the Associated Press. Dave
Cowens, who led the Seminoles to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 1968, earned All-American Second Team honors by the Sporting News and Converse when he averaged a double-double of 17.8

during the 1989-90 season), steals (63 / 1.8 spg), assists (102 / 2.9 apg) and minutes played per game (36.5 mpg).
Douglas, who led the Seminoles in scoring in their final 23 games of the season, became only the fourth player in Seminole basketball history to earn All-ACC First Team honors, the second Seminole in
the last two seasons to finish as the ACC Player of the Year runner-up (Al Thornton in 2007) and the first player in school history to earn ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors. He was also named
to the ACC Tournament First Team after leading the Seminoles to the championship game for the first time in school history.
"This is a great honor and is an honor that belongs to my teammates and our coaching staff at Florida State," said Douglas. "Without my teammates I would not have been in position to become a team
leader and without our coaches we would not have been as successful as we were this season. I know that as a team we have made Florida State a winning program and that's how I want people to remember
me - as a leader and as a winner."

in 3-point field goals made (85), and third in minutes played (36.5 mpg).
Adds national honor to conference coach of the year accolade.
April 1, 2009.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Leonard Hamilton, who led the Florida State men's basketball team to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1998 and to the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship
game for the first time in school history, has been named the National Coach of the Year by Basketball Times. It marks the second time in his career that he has earned the honor - he was named the UPI
national coach of the year in 1995 when he led the University of Miami to a fifth place finish in the Big East and to the Hurricanes' first post-season appearance in 31 years. He was named the 2009
ACC Coach of the Year by the Atlantic Coast Media Association for the first time in his career.
Florida State finished the 2008-09 season with a 25-10 record, was a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, finished in fourth place in the ACC standings with a 10-6 record, played in the ACC Tournament
championship game for the first time in school history and had an All-ACC First Team pick (Toney Douglas) for the second time in three seasons. The Seminoles' 25 wins is tied for second most in school
history while their 10 conference wins is the third highest in school history. It marked the first time since the 1992-93 season that the Seminoles had won at least 10 ACC games in a single season.
Hamilton, the 21st winningest coach in ACC history, has put the Seminoles on the cusp of becoming the next great program in the nation's greatest basketball conference. Florida State is ranked as the
fourth winningest program in the ACC in the last three seasons with a cumulative record of 67-38 for a winning percentage of .638. During the last four seasons, Hamilton has elevated the Seminoles'
play in the ACC as he has guided Florida State to a 33-31 record (.516 winning percentage) - tied for the fourth highest win total in ACC Play since the start of the 2005-06 season.
Under Hamilton, the Seminoles have won at least seven ACC games in a school record four consecutive seasons including a 9-7 record and a fifth place finish during the 2005-06 season and a 10-6 record
and a fourth place finish this season. After winning just 36 percent of their ACC games under Hamilton in his first four seasons as the Seminoles' head coach, the Seminoles have won 50 percent of
their games in the last three seasons.
The Seminoles played in the ACC Tournament championship game this season to mark the first time in school history they have advanced past the semifinals of the event. Florida State is one of only
seven teams to have played in the ACC Championship game in the last five years with only Duke and North Carolina having played in the game more than once since 2005.
Including its victory over No. 1/1 North Carolina (the ACC regular season champion and 2009 Final Four participant) the Seminoles have 15 wins over nationally ranked opponents during the first seven
seasons of the Hamilton era in Tallahassee. The Seminoles have defeated two No. 1 ranked teams and five teams ranked in the nation's top five under Hamilton. The Seminoles defeated four nationally
ranked teams including North Carolina in the ACC Tournament, Florida and Clemson twice during the regular season.
In its history, Florida State has defeated three No. 1 ranked teams with two of those victories coming during Hamilton's watch a the Seminoles' head coach.
Hamilton has continued to recruit the nation's top prep talent and has been one of the top coaches in the nation in developing that talent once the players arrive on campus. He has recruited and
coached three of the four players (Tim Pickett, Al Thornton and Toney Douglas) who have earned All-ACC First Team honors in school history and two players (Thornton and Douglas) who have finished as
the ACC Player of the Year runner-up in the last three seasons.
Hamilton's current recruiting class contains two top-60 players (No. 11 Michael Snaer and No. 58 Terrence Shannon) to go along with a stable of current players who were ranked among the nation's top
75 players during their high school careers: rising sophomore Chris Singleton (No. 12), rising sophomore Xavier Gibson (No. 43), rising junior Derwin Kitchen (No. 57) and rising sophomore Luke Loucks
(No. 72). Both Snaer and Singleton were McDonald's All-Americans during their senior seasons of high school.

Seminoles Stop Gators, 57-55.
Florida State will travel to Georgia State on Saturday.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida State shot 31.4 percent and its leading scorer had one field goal. Somehow the Seminoles found a way to beat intrastate rival Florida for the third straight year Sunday.
Ryan Reid scored four of his 13 points in the final 1:20 to lead the Seminoles to the 57-55 victory over the Gators (No. 21 ESPN/USA Today, No. 23 AP).
Florida's Dan Werner missed a 3-point shot at the buzzer and the Seminoles, who were coming off their first loss of the season, had a chance to celebrate at home. Jordan DeMercy had a career-high 12 points and 7-foot-1 Solomon Alabi added 11 for the Seminoles.
"They're a very big team," said Nick Calathes, who led the Gators with 16 points. "They're probably the biggest we'll play as a team."
Werner added 10 points for Florida, which shot 39.2 percent.
"They made us earn every basket that we got," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "That was a great game for us coming off a loss."
Florida coach Billy Donovan thought it was a good game for his club as well.
"Playing a good team on the road, we didn't shoot the ball well, but we gave ourselves a chance," Donovan said.
The Gators, who trailed for much of the game, went on a 19-4 run midway through the second half to open a 49-43 lead. Alex Tyus' basket midway through the second half completed a 10-0 spurt that gave Florida its first lead, 40-39, since the opening minutes. Then it was back and forth Florida State got the lead for good at 52-51 on Reid's two free throws with 1:20 left.
"When the opportunity came, I just took it," said Reid, whose jumper gave Florida State a 54-51 lead with 38 seconds left. "Just like practice."
Florida State shot 27.6 percent in the first half but still led 26-25 at halftime.
The Seminoles built a 22-13 lead with 6:10 left in the half on a 3-pointer by Luke Loucks.

FSU Bests Georgia State, 62-57.
The Seminoles play host to Tennessee Tech on Tuesday.
ATLANTA, GA - Toney Douglas scored 23 points and Florida State withstood a furious Georgia State comeback Saturday, holding on for a 62-57 win.
Florida State (9-1) led by 19 points midway through the second half, only to lose the momentum and allow Georgia State (3-6) to fight its way back into the game. Georgia State's Leonard Mendez missed a 3-pointer with five seconds left that would have tied the game at 60.
The rebound was grabbed in traffic by the Seminoles' Derwin Kitchen, who was playing his first game since becoming eligible. Kitchen, a transfer from Iowa Western Community College, then hit two free throws to seal the victory.
The win gives Florida State its best start since 2003-04, when the Seminoles began the season 10-0.
Georgia State was led by Trae Goldston, who scored a career-high 24 points and made four 3-pointers.

Florida State Defeats Tennesse Tech, 69-59.
The Seminoles improve to 10-1.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Toney Douglas scored 28 points and Ryan Reid's three-point play broke open a tie game as Florida State held off Tennessee Tech 69-59 on Tuesday night.
Reid's three-point play with 3:59 left broke a 55-55 deadlock as the Seminoles closed the game with a 14-5 run to improve to 10-1, equaling the best start in school history.
It was not easy. The Golden Eagles (6-3) overcame a six-minute scoreless stretch and a 53-44 deficit in the second half. Consecutive 3-pointers by Kevin Murphy and Daniel Northern's putback basket keyed an 11-2 run. DJ Lindsay's runner down the lane with 4:25 remaining tied the score.
Douglas was the lone double-figure scorer for the Seminoles, who won despite committing a season-high 24 turnovers.
Northern led the Golden Eagles with 14 points and 15 rebounds, while Will Barnes and Murphy added 13 each.

Alabi's Career Night Leads Seminoles to Victory.
Solomon Alabi scored 16 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked six shots - all career highs.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Solomon Alabi scored 16 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked six shots - all career highs - as Florida State routed Charleston Southern 71-48 on Thursday night.
The Seminoles (11-1) outscored the Buccaneers 46-16 in the paint behind the dominant play of the 7-foot-1 Alabi and 6-11 fellow freshman Xavier Gibson, who finished with a career-high 11 points.
Jamarco Warren led Charleston Southern (5-5) with a game-high 21 points, but the Buccaneers managed just seven second-half field goals.
On the heels of its most lopsided victory of the season, Florida State has equaled its best 12-game start in program history heading into Sunday's home game against No. 3 Pittsburgh.
Florida State led 36-26 at halftime and quickly extended its lead by attacking the basket. The Seminoles opened the second half with a 11-3 run to seize control.

Men's Basketball Defeated By Pittsburgh, 56-48.
Toney Douglas scored 20 points to lead the Seminoles.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Sam Young kept Pittsburgh unbeaten on a night in which the Panthers weren't making many shots.
The 6-foot-6 senior forward scored 21 points, including two critical baskets in the final 1:51, and the third-ranked Panthers overcame a woeful 33 percent shooting effort in a ragged 56-48 victory at Florida State.
Young's tip-in broke a 48-48 tie and he followed with a jump shot with a minute left that gave the Panthers a 52-48 advantage.
"That kind of put their heads down," Young said.
"The guy made great plays," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "They made the plays they had to make in that minute stretch and we missed ours."
Pitt (12-0) nearly wasted a 17-0 run keyed by two 3-points shots by Jermaine Dixon that gave them a 43-34 lead with 8:53 left.
But Florida State (11-2) made one last push, tying the game at 48 on Uche Echefu's jumper with 2:23 left.
"We knew we had to get stops to win the game," said Dixon, who added a pair of layups in the final 43 seconds. "We got some steals, got some stops, got some easy layups."
Toney Douglas scored 20 points to lead the Seminoles, who shot 29.8 percent. No other Florida State player had more than two field goals.
Dixon, who played for Tallahassee Community College the last two years, finished with 11 points and DeJuan Blair added 10 points and 12 rebounds, helping Pitt to a 42-36 advantage on the boards. It was Blair's eighth double-double this season.
"This is one of those games where you're in foul trouble, didn't shoot well and our defense needed to be there throughout," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said. "Our defense was there for 40 minutes."
Florida State made only four field goals in the first half, three by Douglas, but still trailed by just a basket, 26-24, at the break. The Seminoles took their first lead two minutes into the second half on Ryan Reid's 10-foot jumper in the lane.

Seminoles Fall To No. 2 Duke, 66-58.
Derwin Kitchen finished with 16 points. Toney Douglas had 18.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Gerald Henderson scored a career-high 25 points Saturday, leading second-ranked Duke to a 66-58 victory at Florida State.
The Blue Devils (14-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) ran off the first nine points of the second half during a 41-11 run to build their largest lead of the game, 46-21 with 12:45 left.
Toney Douglas led Florida State (13-3, 0-1) with 18 points, but was just 7-of-23 from the floor as the Seminoles shot just 31 percent.
The first half was believed to be one of the lowest scoring in the ACC since the game clock went into effect.
Duke led 19-14 at the break, making just five field goals--one on a goaltending call to go along with four baskets by Henderson. Florida State scored only four points in the final 13:07 of the half, going scoreless for 7 minutes and 58 seconds at one stretch.
In the second half, the Blue Devils went 7:14 without a basket until Henderson's layup with 5:31 left gave Duke a 53-42 lead.
Derwin Kitchen scored 16 points and Uche Echefu 10 to get Florida State back into the game in the final minutes. Both players scored all of their points in the final 13 minutes as the Seminoles pulled to single digits, 51-42, with 6:03 left on a pair of Douglas free throws.
Henderson's 9-of-14 shooting helped Duke shoot 42.9 percent from the field. Kyle Singler chipped in with 15 points for Duke and Nolan Smith added a dozen.

Seminoles Edged By Miami.
Toney Douglas leads all scorers with 30 points.
CORAL GABLES, FL - Jack McClinton scored a season-high 28 points Wednesday, including three free throws in the final 25 seconds, and the Miami Hurricanes snapped a five-game losing streak in its rivalry with Florida State, 75-69.
Lance Hurdle had a season-high 16 points for the Hurricanes, who overcame a 12-point first-half deficit. Miami (14-4, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) last beat the Seminoles on Jan. 29, 2006.
Florida State (15-4, 2-2) was led by Toney Douglas, who matched a season-high with 30 points. The Seminoles shot only 39 percent.
Hurdle's 3-pointer with nine minutes left put Miami ahead 53-51 - the fourth and final lead change of the second half. Miami took an 72-67 lead with 1:18 left, then failed to score on three consecutive possessions before McClinton's free throws sealed the win.

Florida State Falls to No. 5 North Carolina.
The Seminoles now stand at 16-5, 3-3 in the ACC.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Ty Lawson's 3-pointer at the buzzer gave No. 5 North Carolina an 80-77 win over Florida State on Wednesday night.
Lawson got an inbounds pass with 3.2 seconds left and raced downcourt, swishing his shot at near full speed from the top of the circle.
The Tar Heels overcame 32 points from Florida State's Toney Douglas, who scored 24 in the second half to help the Seminoles wipe out a 52-39 deficit and give themselves a chance to win.
The Seminoles (16-5, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) couldn't get off a shot on their final possession, however, setting up Lawson's buzzer-beater.
North Carolina (18-2, 4-2) was led by Lawson's 21 points. Danny Green added 20.

Seminoles Rally For 62-58 Win Over Georgia Tech.
Toney Douglas finished with a game-high 21 points.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Scorers can't quit shooting and Toney Douglas didn't. Good thing for Florida State.
The high-scoring Seminole guard made only two of his first eight shots and had just five points at halftime, but poured in 16 more after the break Thursday, including the go-ahead jumper among his 10 points in the final 5:09 to rally Florida State to a 62-58 win over Georgia Tech.
"You've just got to keep the ball out of his hands," Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. "He's a great player."
Douglas, the Atlantic Coast Conference's leading scorer in league games, put the Seminoles ahead to stay at 48-46 with a floating jumper just inside the free-throw lane with 5:09 left.
"I could be oh for 10, but I know my shot will be coming along," Douglas said. "That's what I do every day in the gym."
Florida State (17-5, 4-3) hit seven of eight free throws, four by Uche Echefu and two by Douglas, in the final 41.5 seconds to stave off the Yellow Jackets.
Georgia Tech (10-11, 1-7) was led by Zachery Peacock's 16 points, while Gani Lawal, the ACC's leading rebounder, came up with his 14th double-double of the season with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Alide Aminu added 12 points.
Florida State shot just 30.9 percent and Georgia Tech was just a notch better at 34.4 percent. Both teams were also cold from long range with the Seminoles making 4 of 23 and Tech hitting 2 of 15.
"We are not a great offensive team - call it like it is," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "We're a team with Toney and a lot of guys who can score 6, 8, 9, 10 points a game."
Derwin Kitchen was Douglas' big helper Thursday with 13 points.
Douglas, who has scored more than 20 points in his last six ACC games and averaged 25 points a game in that span, hit two jumpers and four free throws to key the stretch run.
He also had six steals in the game, boosting his season total to 49.

Florida State Defeats No. 10 Clemson, 65-61.
The Seminoles improve to 18-5; 5-3 in the ACC.
CLEMSON, SC - The only ones rushing Littlejohn Coliseum's court after this one were the joyous Florida State Seminoles.
Two nights after No. 10 Clemson throttled Duke 74-47 and touched off a wild, orange-clad celebration, the Tigers let a 19-point second-half lead slip away in the Seminoles' 65-61 victory Saturday night.
Toney Douglas had 23 points, including 12 in Florida State's 23-4 run the final 9 minutes. When it ended, the Tigers (19-3, 5-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) and a sold-out crowd walked away in disbelief over what they watched.
"We just didn't keep our foot on the gas pedal," Clemson senior K.C. Rivers said. "Wednesday night, we kept our foot on the gas pedal. We seen (Duke) getting weak, we took advantage of it.
"Tonight, we didn't do that," Rivers added. "We seen them getting weak, we let them back in it. We gave them life."
Douglas, who came in as the ACC's third-leading scorer, looked way off his game, held to six points in the first half and knocked around by Clemson's swarming defense.
However, he kept telling his teammates they were too good to miss shots as often as they were - the Seminoles shot 30 percent in the first half - when Clemson built its lead.
Douglas preached offensive patience and defensive tenacity. "We got to score on offense eventually. We've got to score and stop, score and stop," Douglas said. "That was our gameplan."
It couldn't have worked any better as Florida State won at Clemson for the first time since 2001 after seven straight losses.
Number eight looked inevitable.
The Tigers were still flying high after the Duke win and had pushed their way to a 44-25 lead with 15 minutes to go. Florida State (18-5, 5-3) gave Clemson something the Blue Devils couldn't, though: a second-half fight.
The Tigers were still ahead 57-42 on Trevor Booker's 3-pointer with 9 minutes left when Douglas and the Seminoles got going.
Solomon Alabi had 17 points, including a turnaround jumper with 2:03 left that put the Seminoles ahead for good.
Clemson, which opened the season 16-0, could not recover. Douglas said once Florida State got the lead, the Tigers had trouble answering back.
"They were like, 'Oh my gosh, we're down one, now we're down three,"' Douglas said, smiling.
Alabi, a 7-foot-1 freshman, also had nine rebounds and five blocks.
Booker and Demontez Stitt had 11 points each to lead Clemson.
At first, the Tigers and kept the good feelings going from the Duke win.
Raymond Sykes jammed home the Tigers' first bucket to the same thunderous applause he and his teammates got on several highlight reel dunks three nights earlier.
By the time Booker added his own high-flying jam that again brought the house down, Clemson was up 23-10 with 9:24 left in the first half - and seemingly on the way to another Blue Devil-style rout.
The Tigers and Douglas foreshadowed what happened at the end in the opening half.
Clemson went the final five minutes of the period without scoring, while Douglas, who had only three points in the opening half, hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds to send Florida State into the locker room down just 30-22.
Then, with the sounds of a sold-out Littlejohn crowd ringing in their ears after Booker's 3-pointer, the Seminoles got going.
Alabi began the comeback with an inside bucket, then Douglas hit a jumper. He added a 3-pointer moments later and Florida State trailed 57-51.
Luke Loucks' 3-pointer, his only basket, cut the lead to one and Alabi hit the eventual game winner for Florida State.
Clemson had chances to respond. Terrence Oglesby missed an open 3-pointer and David Potter a driving shot in the lane. Douglas secured the win with five free throws in the final 43 seconds.
Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton wished he could spend more time savoring his team's second road win over a top-10 opponent in three seasons - Florida State won at No. 8 Duke on Feb. 4, 2007. Instead, he's already pointing to his game with Virginia on Tuesday.
"This is still a team that's growing and developing. We've got to enjoy it, but we've got to keep everything in proper perspective," he said.
The Tigers have a different perspective. Two years back, they squandered a 61-46 second half lead with nine minutes left and lost to Virginia here.
Clemson coach Oliver Purnell thought he'd seen the last of such giveaways.
"This is a very disappointing loss," he said. "On our home court, in a game we had some control of in the second half."

No. 25 Florida State Defeats Virginia, 68-57.
The Seminoles improve to 19-5, 6-3 in the ACC.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Virginia coach Dave Leitao has seen all he wants to of Florida State's Toney Douglas.
Douglas scored 19 points and matched a career high with seven assists Tuesday as the 25th-ranked Seminoles defeated Leitao's Cavaliers 68-57, handing Virginia its eighth consecutive loss -- including two to the Seminoles.
"Ultimately it comes down to a guy who knows he is good and understands how and when to be good," a somber Leitao said. "He's smart enough to use himself as a decoy." Douglas, the ACC's leading scorer in conference competition, scored 15 points in a decisive second half -- including successive 3-point shots just 25 seconds apart that gave Florida State a 40-35 lead.
"He took it over with big shots," Virginia coach Dave Leitao said. "He's at another level than most of the other guys."
The Seminoles (19-5, 6-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) shook off a woeful first-half shooting effort with a blistering 70.8 percent performance in the second half. Virginia (7-13, 1-8) was led by Sylven Landesberg's 14 points.
Uche Echefu added 17 points and Solomon Alabi had 13 for the Seminoles, which took the lead for good at 43-41 on Deividas Dulkys second of 3-point baskets. It was the second straight double-figures showing for Alabi, who had 17 points to accompany Douglas' 23 in Saturday's win at Clemson.
"Once my teammates start hitting shots it's impossible," Douglas said. "Nobody can guard them."
Alabi, who made 10-of-15 shots in Florida State's two wins last week and earned the ACC's rookie of the week honors, was 6-for-8 on Tuesday.
"Every day he wakes up he gets better," Leitao said. "It's going to be difficult for any team to stop him."
But the 7-foot-1 Alabi wasn't particularly happy.
"I didn't get enough rebounds. I didn't get enough blocks," said Alabi, who grabbed six rebounds and his 49th and 50th blocked shots of the season.
It was the first time in eight games Douglas failed to score 20 or more points. And he had some chances late in the game, missing a pair of late free throws.
Mike Scott's 3-pointer with 8:26 left gave Virginia its last lead at 41-40.
Jumpers by Alabi and Echefu and a breakaway layup by Douglas -- all within a minute -- gave the Seminoles a 49-43 lead with 5:30 left.
"We can't depend on Toney every night," Echefu said. "We just want to get everybody involved."
And so would Leitao.
"We continue to try and find a way to get us back on track," he said. "We're playing some of the best teams in the country and the margin of error is razor thin."
Virginia, which hasn't won since a 74-50 victory over Brown on Jan. 6, stayed in it early by dominating the boards, allowing Florida State just one offensive rebound in the first half.
The Cavaliers, however, led 22-20 at halftime despite 10 turnovers and shooting just 27.8 percent.
The Seminoles, the lowest-scoring team in the ACC, shot only 26.1 percent in the first half as Douglas managed just four points after going scoreless the first 16:06 while trying to help free his teammates for shots.
"He's trying to get as many of his teammates involved and milk the ability that they have," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "He's playing with that kind of focus."
Florida State moved into The Associated Press' weekly rankings Monday for the first time in more than 11 years on the strength of wins last week over Georgia Tech and Clemson.
Douglas seemed unsure about the additional attention.
"Now that we're ranked, a lot of teams are going to be trying to come at us more than they used to," he said. "We've got to stay on point."

Seminoles Fall To Wake Forest, 86-63.
Toney Douglas scored 22 points to lead Florida State.
WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Wake Forest again looked like the deep and athletic team capable of making a deep run in March. The Demon Deacons apparently just needed a ranked opponent to bring it back out of them.
Al-Farouq Aminu scored 17 points to help the seventh-ranked Demon Deacons beat No. 25 Florida State 86-63 on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run against ranked teams while bouncing back from a frustrating stretch that followed their appearance at No. 1.
Jeff Teague added 15 points for the Demon Deacons (19-4, 6-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who led the entire way and spent much of the game shooting better than 50 percent. Wake Forest used a 13-0 run in the second half to take control, turning a 12-point halftime lead into a 30-point margin late in the game to end the Seminoles' three-game winning streak.
Wake Forest also hit 32 of 38 free throws, far better than its 70 percent average.
The performance fit perfectly into the way the Demon Deacons have been playing for the past month. They had lost four of six since reaching No. 1, including Wednesday's loss at unranked North Carolina State in which it trailed by 20 points in the second half. Along the way, there was a loss at Georgia Tech for the Yellow Jackets' lone league win, a 27-point loss at Miami last week and the home loss to Virginia Tech when the Demon Deacons were 16-0 and ranked first.
But this is also the same team that beat North Carolina, Duke and Clemson - all currently ranked 12th or higher - in a span of five games.
It's left coach Dino Gaudio to surmise that his team has occasional bouts with overconfidence, particularly when the facing a team from the bottom half of the league.
"They're learning you've got to play everybody," he said. "But when you put a challenge in front of them, they meet it."
In that sense, Florida State (19-6, 6-4) was the perfect opponent to get Wake Forest moving again. The Seminoles were celebrating their first appearance in the national rankings in 11 years and entered the day tied for third in the ACC with Clemson. Their only loss in the past five games had come against the Tar Heels on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
But the Demon Deacons controlled this one from the start, scoring the first six points and taking a 42-30 lead at the break before turning the game into a rout.
"We seem to play to our potential when we play tougher competition," said Chas McFarland, who had seven points during the decisive 13-0 run. "Not to degrade anybody else, but when we play somebody at the bottom of the ACC, we tend to kind of slack off and play lackadaisical. We just came out ready to play because we knew if we didn't play, then they were going to beat us. We need to take that mentality game in and game out."
The Wake Forest coaches did their best to instill that attitude with some tough practices in the days that followed the N.C. State loss. The work included drills on defense and fundamentals, the kind of work that Gaudio said was more befitting the preseason than the final weeks of the regular season.
"This group has terrific character," he said. "They're hard-nosed guys. We went hard on Thursday. They went hard yesterday. It's just that they're learning. They're growing. We all want them to be 16-0, No. 1 in the country and perfect, but that's not reality."
Wake Forest played tough defense, holding the Seminoles scoreless for the opening 5 minutes of the game. Florida State shot just 38 percent, including 4-for-22 from 3-point range, and committed 18 turnovers.
Toney Douglas led FSU with 22 points, but he got little help from his teammates when the game was within reach late in the first half.
"I guess we kind of ran into a buzzsaw," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "They were extremely ready to play. I thought they were much more aggressive than we were. For whatever reason, we were somewhat tentative on the offensive end. We were somehow reluctant to attack and they took advantage of our tentativeness...This wasn't one of our better games."
In fact, it seemed Wake Forest was keeping Florida State in the game by constantly fouling. The Demon Deacons committed 24 personal fouls, including 14 in the first half that helped the Seminoles get to the foul line and bolster their struggling offense. Florida State hit 11 of 15 foul shots in the first half, but got to the line just six times after halftime.
The game also got chippy when Solomon Alabi was ejected for elbowing McFarland in the face when the two got tangled while running up the court with 14:07 to play.

Seminoles Roll Past Miami, 80-67.
Toney Douglas finished with 24 points.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Toney Douglas scored 24 points and Uche Echefu added 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Florida State to an 80-67 victory over Miami on Wednesday night.
The Seminoles (20-6, 7-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) made 31 of 35 free throws and put the clamps on Miami scoring machine Jack McClinton for most of the game, limiting him to 13 points. McClinton, who had scored 101 points in the last three games, had just five at halftime and went nearly 25 1/2 minutes without scoring through the middle of the game.
James Dews led Miami (15-10, 4-8) with a season-high 19 points.
Douglas, who spent much of his time in the first half helping defend McClinton, scored 17 of his points in the second half.

The Seminoles improve to 21-6; 8-4 in the ACC.
BLACKSBURG, VA - Toney Douglas scored 22 points, including a tie-breaking runner with 6 seconds remaining, and Florida State beat Virginia Tech 67-65 on Saturday night.
Derwin Kitchen added a career-high 19 points and Uche Echefu had 12 for the Seminoles (21-6, 8-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), who won for the fifth time in six games. They also moved out of a four-way tie and into sole possession of second place in the conference.
The Hokies (16-10, 6-6) got 25 points from Malcolm Delaney and 15 from A.D. Vassallo, but Vassallo missed an open 3-pointer from the top of the key just as the buzzer sounded.
Virginia Tech lost for the fifth time in seven games, further damaging its hopes for securing an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament, and with four tough games left. Besides a rematch with the Seminoles, the Hokies still play North Carolina, Duke and at Clemson.

Seminoles Come Up Short Against Eagles, 72-67.
Toney Douglas led the Seminoles (21-7, 8-5) with 19 points.
BOSTON, MA - Boston College certainly has made a statement against some of the Atlantic Coast Conference's elite.
Tyrese Rice hit a key 3-pointer with 20.5 seconds to play and Joe Trapani scored 19 points to lead Boston College to a 72-67 upset of No. 23 Florida State on Tuesday night.
It was the Eagles (20-9, 8-6 ACC) third win this season against one of the conference's top teams and added to their possible NCAA tournament resume. They handed then-No. 1 North Carolina its first loss on Jan. 4 in Chapel Hill and beat No. 7 Duke at home nine days ago.
"Knocking off three of the upper-tier teams definitely speaks for itself," Rice said. "We've got two games left and we've got it in our own hands."
Rice, who finished with just 11 points, was scoreless in the first half, but hit his 3 as the Eagles were clinging to a one-point lead.
Trapani, who sat out last season after transferring from Vermont, hit three 3-pointers in the closing 13:32 and made two free throws that gave BC a 68-65 with 2:54 left.
Rakim Sanders added 16 points and nine rebounds for Boston College, which went 7-for-11 on 3-pointers in the second half.
Toney Douglas led the Seminoles (21-7, 8-5) with 19 points. Soloman Alabi had 16 points and seven rebounds.
Florida State, which entered the day in a three-way tie for second place behind North Carolina, lost for just second time in seven games.
"We knew with guys like Rice and Trapani on the team they would make big shots, and at the end of the day that's what they did," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "Rice put the dagger in with the 3-pointer there at the end like he always does when you give him a chance when the games going down the wire."
BC led 57-54 with just under seven minutes left before scoring seven straight points. Trapani started the spree with a 3-pointer from the top. Biko Paris then scored on a drive and was fouled. He missed the free throw, but connected on a left-handed scoop shot in the lane 19 seconds later, making it 64-54 with 5:57 to play.
The Seminoles, who trailed by nine earlier in the second half, came back again, scoring the next eight points to close it to two on Douglas' 3 from the left wing.
Florida State came within one twice in the final 3:09--both times when Alabi hit two free throws--the second made it 68-67.
Rice then nailed his key three after Albai missed a turnaround on the other end.
"We kept cutting the lead, but at the end of the day I didn't feel we did the little things that you have to do on the road against a team of this caliber to pull off a victory," Hamilton said.

No. 23 Seminoles Upset No. 12 Clemson.
Seminoles take another step toward the first NCAA tournament bid in 11 years.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Toney Douglas is 6-foot-1 and doesn't have a lot of veteran help at No. 23 Florida State. That hasn't kept him from being nearly unstoppable, especially at crunch time.
Douglas scored 23 points and Florida State held off a late Clemson rally, defeating the 12th-ranked Tigers 73-66 on Saturday to get closer to their first NCAA tournament bid in 11 years.
"I'd say we're in, but we have more games too," Douglas said afterward. "I know if we'd lost after having an 18-point lead, I'd have cried afterward."
He has now scored 20 or more points in 11 of Florida State's last 13 Atlantic Coast Conference games and had 19 the other two times.
"He's certainly a player of the year candidate," Clemson coach Oliver Purnell said. "He almost opens up the inside by himself."
Whether it's slashing to the basket, scoring a 3-pointer or making a steal, Douglas is arguably the single most disruptive force in the talent-laden Atlantic Coast Conference.
"I don't think there's any other player in our league faced with that type of scenario," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "The unique and special thing Toney is giving us is tremendous leadership."
But Douglas is quick to share credit with his younger teammates.
"They come in with tremendous energy and intensity," Douglas said. "And they've got good basketball IQ."
The Seminoles (22-7, 9-5) led 39-27 at halftime and opened their largest advantage at 51-33 early in the second half, but Clemson closed to within 63-60 on five points by Raymond Sykes in a span of just 12 seconds.
But then it was Douglas, hitting a half dozen straight free throws to ice the game.
"We got back in it, but it's like being on a high wire," Purnell said, lamenting Clemson's 23 turnovers.
Clemson (22-6, 8-6) was led by K.C. Rivers 17 points. Trevor Booker was held to eight points, but had 13 rebounds.
Derwin Kitchen and freshman Chris Singleton each had 10 points for the Seminoles, who swept Clemson for the first time since the 2000-2001 season.
Terrence Oglesby added 12 points for Clemson on 4-of-10 shooting from 3-point distance while Sykes finished with 10 points and four blocked shots.
Douglas, the ACC's top scorer in conference play, hit six straight free throws in the final 2:48, including four in a row in the final 50 seconds to stop Clemson's comeback.
"He has our back," said Singleton, who got all of his points in the second half. "He steps up his game when we need him and leads by example."
Booker, the Tigers leading scorer on the season, went scoreless until there was just 1:50 left in the half when he hit a close-range scoop shot.
Florida State, which rallied from a 19-point deficit with under 15 minutes left in the game three weeks ago at Clemson to win 65-61, clinched just its second winning ACC record in the past 16 years.
The Seminoles capitalized on a 25-7 run to build a 14-point lead in the first half.
At halftime, Florida State retired the jersey No. 33 worn by Ron King, who led the Seminoles to the 1972 national title game and still holds the school's single-game scoring record of 46 points.
Florida State visits Duke on Tuesday and closes its regular season at home next Sunday against Virginia Tech.

FSU Falls Short Against Duke, 84-81.
The Seminoles will wrap-up their regular season hosting Virginia Tech on Sunday.
DURHAM, NC - Gerald Henderson scored nine of his 21 points in the final 2 minutes to help No. 7 Duke beat No. 24 Florida State 84-81 on Tuesday night.
Kyle Singler scored 20 points, Jon Scheyer added 17 and Henderson had 10 rebounds for the Blue Devils (25-5, 11-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).
They won their fifth straight, matched the NCAA record for most wins in a decade with 286 and moved a half-game behind No. 2 North Carolina in the league standings.
Toney Douglas scored 27 points for the Seminoles (22-8, 9-6), and his 3-pointer from the right wing gave Florida State a 76-74 lead with 2:25 remaining.
That's when Henderson took over.
He countered with a 3 from the right corner with 1:39 remaining to put Duke up 77-76. After the Blue Devils forced a stop on Douglas, he knocked down two free throws to make it a three-point game with 57.3 seconds left.
Douglas had two defenders in his face as he missed a 3 with about 45 seconds remaining, and the rebound made its way to Henderson - who hustled downcourt, sidestepped one defender and drew contact from Solomon Alabi as he hit a layup.
Henderson hit the free throw that followed to make it 82-76 and sent Duke on the way to its 16th victory at Cameron Indoor Stadium. During the past two seasons, the Blue Devils' only defeats there have come against rival North Carolina.
He also helped Duke's elder players walk off Coach K Court with a victory on Senior Night - something that hasn't happened since 2005.
Uche Echefu matched a season high with 18 points - 14 in the first half - and added 11 rebounds while Alabi added 12 points and 11 boards for the Seminoles.
They were denied their first consecutive victories over ranked teams since 2003-04. The Seminoles were coming off a 76-63 victory over then-No. 12 Clemson.
Florida State, which won its previous visit to Cameron in 2007, has a final chance to reach double figures in ACC victories for the first time since 2003-04 when the Seminoles conclude the regular season Sunday against Virginia Tech.
Elliot Williams added 14 points for Duke, which twice fell behind by eight points before tightening up early in the second half with a 21-9 run in which the jump-shooting Blue Devils' 3-pointers finally began to fall.
After missing 16 of their first 20 attempts from beyond the arc, they knocked down 3-of-4 during the run - including Scheyer's from the key that put Duke up 55-52 with 11:51 left.
That cold shooting created an opportunity for the Seminoles to take charge early, and they led for most of the first half. They went up 28-20 lead on Deividas Dulkys' jumper from the corner and led 40-34 at the break. The Seminoles matched their largest lead on Derwin Kitchen's jumper 30 seconds into the second half.

FSU Victorious Against Virginia Tech, 63-53.
The Seminoles end the regular season with a 23-8 record.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Toney Douglas scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half, leading No. 24 Florida State to a 63-53 win over Virginia Tech on Sunday and giving the Seminoles their first opening-round bye in the ACC tournament.
Douglas, the top scorer in conference play at more than 23 points per game, scored a dozen points in just over four minutes after the Hokies pulled within 45-42. That gave the Seminoles a 59-49 lead, and they cruised from there.
Florida State (23-8, 10-6) led 32-25 after a ragged first half in which the two teams combined for 23 turnovers and the Hokies shot just 24 percent.
A.D. Vassallo scored 14 points to lead Virginia Tech (17-13, 7-9).
Playing his final game before home fans on Senior Day, Douglas didn't get his first field goal until 10:30 was gone in the first half, finally hitting a runner just outside the lane.
Douglas has scored 20 or more points in 13 of Florida State's last 15 Atlantic Coast Conference games, getting 19 in the other two.
The Seminoles' 23 wins are their most since the 1992-93 team that finished 25-10 before being eliminated in the NCAA's round of eight by Kentucky. No ACC team with 10 league wins has ever failed to make the NCAA tournament.
Florida State's starters went scoreless the first 7:31 before Douglas sank a pair of free throws for a 10-5 lead.
Vassallo, Virginia Tech's leading scorer, didn't get his first field goal until 2:09 was gone in the second half. He only managed a pair of free throws before the break.
Malcolm Delaney finished with 13 for the Hokies, who shot just 30.8 percent.
Florida State was up by as many as 14 points on two occasions in the first half, but several unforced errors kept the Seminoles from building a larger lead. The Seminoles swept the season series, defeating the Hokies 67-65 in Blacksburg, Va., on Feb. 21.

Seminoles Defeat Georgia Tech, 64-62.
Florida State advances to the semifinals for the first time since 1992.
ATLANTA, GA - Derwin Kitchen scored the go-ahead layup with 7.7 seconds left as No. 22 Florida State beat Georgia Tech 64-62 on Friday to deny the Yellow Jackets a second straight ACC tournament upset.
Florida State (24-8) ended a streak of 11 straight losses in the quarterfinals while advancing to the semifinals for the first time since 1992, its first year in the league. Toney Douglas had 25 points for the Seminoles, who face the Tar Heels again in Saturday's first semifinal.
Lewis Clinch scored 25 points for Georgia Tech (12-19), which beat No. 17 Clemson on Thursday.
Georgia Tech led 62-61, its first lead since 2-0, on Zach Peacock's baseline shot with 29 seconds remaining.
Florida State called a timeout with 24.9 seconds left but, with three Georgia Tech defenders surrounding Douglas, the Seminoles had to call for another timeout with 9.9 seconds left.
Kitchen immediately drove to the basket and was fouled by Alade Aminu on his reverse layup with 7.7 seconds left. After Kitchen made the free throw, Iman Shumpert's last-second attempt for Georgia Tech bounced off the rim.
Georgia Tech managed only two conference wins in the regular season and was the No. 12 seed in the tournament.
Clinch and Douglas were the stars until the final minute.
Douglas, from Jonesboro, south of Atlanta, was more accurate, making 11 of 16 shots. Clinch, from Cordele in south Georgia, made only 9 of 23 shots, including seven 3-pointers.
Gani Lawal and Shumpert each had 11 points for Georgia Tech, which had the support of many North Carolina fans in the announced Georgia Dome crowd of 26,352.
Solomon Alabi had 14 points for Florida State. Chris Singleton had five of the Seminoles' seven blocks.
Clinch, who had a career-high 32 points in Georgia Tech's win over Clemson, cut Florida State's lead to 59-56 on his seventh 3-pointer with 4:32 remaining. Aminu added a basket about 25 seconds later, leaving the Yellow Jackets only one point behind the Seminoles.
Two free throws by Zach Peacock with 1:34 remaining left Florida State with a 61-60 lead.
Clinch scored the first basket of the game, but that was Georgia Tech's only lead until the final minute. The Seminoles led 15-6 before Georgia Tech pulled even with a 9-0 run, but Florida State recovered to lead 33-27 at the break and 49-41 about 7 minutes into the second half.
The teams combined for 37 turnovers, including 19 by Florida State.

No. 22 Seminoles Advance Over No. 1 North Carolina, 73-70.
Florida State (25-8) advance to its first ACC final in school history.
ATLANTA, GA - North Carolina can start focusing on a national championship. The nation's top-ranked team was denied a shot at its third straight Atlantic Coast Conference title.
Toney Douglas scored 27 points, including the go-ahead free throws, and No. 22 Florida State held on for a 73-70 victory over the Tar Heels in the ACC semifinals Saturday.
Tyler Hansbrough had 22 points and 12 rebounds, but the reigning national player of the year lost control of the ball trying to get inside for a shot with about 20 seconds remaining and North Carolina trailing 71-70. Florida State's Derwin Kitchen scooped it up, was fouled and hit two clutch free throws.
The Tar Heels (28-4) came down for a final shot - and got two of them. Wayne Ellington, who led North Carolina with 24 points, missed from beyond the arc. Danny Green chased down the rebound, stepped outside the line and fired up another 3 at the buzzer. It came up short, and the Seminoles erupted in a raucous celebration.
North Carolina played without ACC player of the year Ty Lawson, who missed his second straight game with an injured big right toe.
"We wanted to win this real bad," said Lawson, who did some shooting before the game before watching from the bench when a protective shoe on his ailing foot. "But our big goal is the national championship."
Florida State (25-8) advanced to its first ACC final in school history. The Seminoles will meet with Maryland or Duke on Sunday.
"We've come a long way," said Douglas, who grew up about 15 miles from the Georgia Dome and is the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons receiver Harry Douglas. "But we're still hungry. We're never satisfied."
Despite the loss, North Carolina is still likely to get a top seed in the NCAA tournament, especially after No. 2 Pittsburgh and No. 3 Connecticut both lost in their opening games at the Big East tournament. Tar Heels coach Roy Williams made clear his top priority when he decided to sit Lawson at the ACC tournament, trying to ensure he's as healthy as possible to make a run at a national title.
"It's not the end of the world," said Bobby Frasor, Lawson's fill-in at point guard. "We'd rather be playing (Sunday), but we played our season to be playing on the last Monday."
Still, it was a stunning defeat for the team that had won the last two ACC tournaments, eliminating Florida State each time. The Seminoles picked up their first win over North Carolina since 2004 and their first postseason victory against the Tar Heels since the 1972 Final Four.
During the regular season, Lawson hit a running 3-pointer as time expired to give the Tar Heels an 80-77 victory over Florida State. All he could this time was watch as a pair of teammates missed from long range.
Douglas sure didn't miss very often. He made 10 of 18 from the field, including three beyond the arc, despite being shadowed by Frasor and having to get loose from frequent double teams.
Green who had two miserable games in Atlanta, making only 3-of-25 shots. He did make a steal with just over 2 minutes remaining, was fouled and hit both free throws for a 69-all tie.
After both teams missed shots, Douglas was called for a loose-ball trying to come up with a steal on Frasor. The fill-in senior made only one of two free throws, putting North Carolina up 70-69 with 1:03 to go.
But Douglas, trying to dribble along the sideline in front of the Florida State bench, was tripped up by Ed Davis. The Florida State star calmly went to the line and sank two free throws with 47 seconds to go.
North Carolina tried to go to its star, but Hansbrough couldn't hang on to the ball underneath.
"I don't really know what happened," said Hansbrough, who had two big ice packs on his knees after going against Florida State's big front line. "It was just crowded under there."
The Seminoles shook off a dismal stretch of shooting early in the game, missing 16 of 17. North Carolina also struggled, but the Tar Heels looked to be pulling away late in the half when Hansbrough worked inside for his first basket of the game and a 30-21 lead.
Florida State closed the period on an 8-2 run, however. Douglas swished a 3-pointer, then hit another jumper while being fouled. He failed to convert the three-point play, but the Seminoles chased down the rebound and Kitchen scored to make it 32-29 going to the locker room.
The game was briefly halted with about 14 minutes remaining while Ellington was in the middle of shooting a pair of free throws. Banks of lighting went out at each end of the court, briefly raising the thought of another storm hitting the Georgia Dome on a rainy day in Atlanta. A tornado struck the building during last year's Southeastern Conference tournament.
It was merely a mechanical malfunction, and the game resumed as a delay of less than 5 minutes after the lights failed to come back on. Both coaches agreed to play in a slightly darkened arena.

Seminoles Eliminated By Duke 79-69.
Toney Douglas finished with 28 points.
ATLANTA, GA - The No. 9 Blue Devils defeated Florida State with a barrage of 3-pointers on the way to a 79-69 victory in the title game Sunday, giving Duke its ninth ACC crown in 12 years.
Toney Douglas led the No. 22 Seminoles (25-9) with 28 points but that wasn't nearly enough to give the school its first ACC championship. Florida State will have to be content with knocking off top-ranked North Carolina in the semifinals and earning its first NCAA bid since 1998.
Coming off a 73-70 upset of North Carolina, the Seminoles turned it over 13 times and only a late shooting blitz kept it from being a total blowout. Douglas was basically a one-man show, though Chris Singleton did chip in with 15 points.
Florida State made a brief spurt in the second half, closing the gap to 42-36 when Ryan Reid laid it in with just over 12 minutes remaining, prompting Duke to call a timeout.
But the Blue Devils, who shot more 3-pointers than any team in the ACC, turned to a familiar weapon to finish off the Seminoles. Scheyer hit a momentum-breaking 3, then got knocked to the court by Derwin Kitchen while putting up another shot beyond the arc. He sank all three free throws, stretching the lead back to 48-38.
From there, Duke pulled away. Singler came up with a steal, and Nolan Smith made a floater in the lane. After Duke snatched an offensive rebound, Henderson buried a 3 from the corner. Smith threaded a brilliant pass to Henderson for a dunk, Scheyer flipped in a no-look shot after turning his back to the basket on a drive, then Singler and Scheyer made back-to-back treys to give the Blue Devils their biggest lead, 65-43, with 6 1/2 minutes to go.
As an added bonus to winning an ACC title after North Carolina was sent packing, Duke pulled even with the Tar Heels for the most wins in ACC tournament history. Both schools have 84.

FSU Falls to Wisconsin in Overtime Heart-Breaker, 61-59.
Douglas lead all scorers with 26, but the Seminoles couldn't close out the Badgers.
BOISE, ID - After spending all night doing the dirty work on defense, Trevon Hughes got a more glamorous role at the end: Shooter of the crazy, spinning, bank shot with the game on the line.
Otherwise known as the game-winner for Wisconsin.
Hughes' twisting shot over Florida State's outstretched arms dropped with 2 seconds left to lift the Badgers to a 61-59 victory in the first round of the NCAA tournament Friday night.
Next up for 12th-seeded Wisconsin (20-12) is a meeting with Xavier in the second round of the East Regional.
It's doubtful the Badgers or Hughes will face a tougher test than what they had in Seminoles star Toney Douglas, the unheralded guard who averages 21 points and led the fifth-seeded Seminoles (25-10) to their first tournament appearance in 11 years.
Douglas finished with 26 points, not a single one of them easy, thanks to Hughes' huge defensive work.
Douglas' 3-point shot with 1:16 left gave the Seminoles a 59-56 lead but, smothered by the Wisconsin defense, he missed another one that would have put it away with less than 10 seconds to go.
That set the stage for Hughes, who had the ball all the way. He dribbled left, spun right into the lane, then flipped the game-winner over Douglas and Chris Singleton. Drew contact, too, and made the free throw to make it 61-59.
If that wasn't enough, he capped things by batting away Florida State's desperation pass at the end and the Badgers mobbed him at halfcourt to celebrate the victory.
Jason Bohannon led Wisconsin with 16 points, including a 3-pointer with the shot clock going off for 52-50 lead with 55 seconds left in regulation.
