Men's Basketball Falls To Stetson, 83-74.
by Taylor Caradonna
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Luke Brown scored 27 points on seven made 3-point shots to lead Stetson to an 83-74 win over Florida State at the Donald L. Tucker Center in the season opener for both teams. Brown totaled 20 points in the first half as the visiting Hatters led by 18 before halftime and held a 44-37 lead at the intermission. The Seminoles fought valiantly, and trailed by only three with 4:40 remaining, but Stetson outscored Florida State 15-9 to close the game.
Sophomore Matthew Cleveland led three Seminoles in double figures with 16 points. Junior Cam'Ron Fletcher led Florida State with nine rebounds.
The Seminoles mounted an impressive comeback after trailing by 18 in the first half. After a 3-point shot Cyncier Harrison put Stetson up by a 34-16 margin with 7:13 remaining before intermission, the Seminoles went on a 21-10 run to close the half to pull within 44-27 at halftime.
Freshman guard Tom House led the Seminoles with nine points and four rebounds in the first half. House enjoyed a perfect half in his Seminole debut, shooting two for two from the paint, three for three from the 3-point line, and three for three on free throws.
Freshman forward Cameron Corhen began his collegiate career as he scored 10 points in 20 minutes of playing time. He made four of his five field goal attempts in his debut.
"We had some moments where I thought we showed some light," said Head Coach Leonard Hamilton. "I think it was the fact that you don't ever want to say inexperienced, but this is probably the most inexperienced team we've had. Defensively on rebounds, I thought we had a lot of game slippage. Offensively, we aren't that well-oiled machine that I had hoped we would be this early in the season."
Caleb Mills enjoyed a strong start his junior season as he scored 12 points and pulled down three rebounds. He shot five for 11 from the floor and made two of four free throws.
"I didn't see anything that was not fixable," said Hamilton. "Hopefully, we will learn that every team that we play will be giving it their very best. This will be an adjustment for a lot of our players. Our players are standing on the shoulders of guys who have established some solid play, a legacy, a system of executing, offensively and defensively, they can grow into and learn to appreciate."
Hamilton remained hopeful in his final words to the press: "You've got to be hopeful that the lack of things that we did not execute tonight, that we will learn this from and be much better prepared when we go down to Central Florida on Friday night."

by Taylor Caradonna
ORLANDO, Fla. - Jayhlon Young scored 17 points to lead three UCF players in double figures, and the Knights defeated Florida State, 68-54, at the Addition Financial Arena. Young, Taylor Hendricks (15 points) and Ithiel Horton (14 points) were all in double figure scoring as UCF won its first game of the season.
Florida State guard Darin Green Jr., who played the first three seasons on his career at UCF, scored a team-high 17 points against his former team. Green made seven of 14 field goal attempts, including a game-high three 3-point shots in his second game as a Seminole.
Freshman Camron Corhen scored a career-high 12 points for the Seminoles and Cam'ron Fletcher led the team for the second game in a row with six rebounds, along with scoring 11 points of his own.
Young and Hendricks combined for a 32 point total against the Seminoles, with Young scoring 15 of those points in the first half alone. Hendricks contributed 12 rebounds for the Knights, along with a six for 13 (.461) shooting percentage from the field.
Although the Knights led 29-39 at halftime, the Seminoles had an impressive .460 (12-26) shooting percentage from the field, compared to UCF's .380 (13-34). Free throws accounted for a major part of UCF's win against the Seminoles, shooting .800 (8-10) from the free throw line, accompanied by a .450 (5-11) three-point field goal percentage.
Corhen led the Seminoles in points in the second half, shooting three for four (.750) in the paint and two for three (.667) from beyond the arc. Sophomore guard Jalen Warley contributed to Florida State with four assists and Darin Green, Jr. added his own seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3FG) to the halftime score.
The Seminoles struggled to score with only three-minutes remaining in the game. While Florida State made only one of their last nine field goals to end Friday night's game, UCF managed to make four of their last five.

Men's Basketball Falls to Troy, 79-72.
by Taylor Caradonna
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Aamer Muhammad scored 23 points to lead three Troy players in double figures as the Trojans defeated the Seminoles, 79-72, at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Christyon Eugene scored 22 points and Zay Williams contributed 12 points of his own to the Trojans third victory of the season. Kieffer Punter added 10 points and nine rebounds to the mix as well.
Three Seminoles scored in double figures as Florida State fought to capture a win against Troy University. Junior Cam'Ron Fletcher had an impressive double-double for the night, dropping 15 points and pulling down 10 rebounds. Fletcher shot six for 10 (.600) from the field and two for five (.400) from the three-point line. This is his third game in a row that he led the Seminoles in rebounds.
Darin Green, Jr. climbed even closer to his 1,000 career point mark, scoring a game-high 24 points and shooting seven for 11 (.636) from the field. For three-pointers, Green shot .778 (seven for nine) which pushed him to 998 total points in his career.
Although the Seminoles were in a seven point deficit at halftime, with Troy leading the game 32-25, Florida State led the Trojans in every category. Florida State had a .370 (seven-19) shooting percentage in the paint, compared to Troy's .360 (13-36). From beyond the arc, the Seminoles shot three for eight (.380) while their opponent shot six for 20 (.300).
"We got a lot of room for improvement, but I think our attitude is good," said Head Coach Leonard Hamilton. "We still believe in ourselves, believe in the system. Hopefully we will get some relief in there before too long, so we aren't playing guys 35, 36 minutes. As I said last week, we try to keep our guys fresh in relation to how we would play, obviously it is a questionable challenge in practicing a certain way, and then once you get through the season, you have to extend the minutes of guys who are still trying to get experience."
Florida State's improvement came from a great night of free throw shooting. As a team, the first half comprised of a .730 (eight for 11) shooting percentage, followed by a 10 for 16 (.625) in the second half. Caleb Mills had a perfect night for the Seminoles in free throws, dropping six for six from the line, accompanied by 14 points and 4 assists.
"I'm glad to see that Darin got his confidence back, shoot what he is capable of. Matthew Cleveland, we have to find a way as a team to execute and give him that opportunity, which gives him the chance to be his best self."
The Seminoles fought hard in the second half, with Florida State enjoying two 7-0 runs against the Trojans over two-minute intervals. The Trojans ultimately made three of their last three field goals to secure the victory over Florida State. Green. made his own individual point total mount against his opponent, scoring eight of his 24 points in the last 27 seconds of the game.

Men's Basketball Falls to Florida, 76-67.
by Taylor Caradonna
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Colin Castleton led two Gators in double figures with 25 points and nine rebounds as Florida defeated the Seminoles, 76-67, at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Will Richard scored 13 points for the Gators and Trey Bonham added 11 points and 3 assists of his own as Florida achieved their third win of the season to improve their record to 3-1.
Three Seminoles scored in double figures against Florida, with Junior Caleb Mills scoring a season high 21 points and five rebounds. Mills neared his career highs for field goals made and attempted with eight field goals made out of eighteen attempted (.444) for the night. He shot a perfect four for four from the free throw line, and was the highest scoring Seminole in the second half with 12 points.
Darin Green Jr. reached the coveted 1,000 career point mark after being the first Seminole to score in the game against Florida. Green went into the game with 998 points and quickly made route to the milestone statistic. Green scored 14 points and 2 rebounds in the rivalry game.
Matthew Cleveland played well as he scored 14 points and pulled down seven rebounds. Cleveland scored more points in Friday night's game against Florida than in his last two games combined (UCF - five points, Troy - three points). Cleveland was five of 12 (.417) from the field and shot a perfect four of four from the free throw line.
Florida State dominated the entire first half against the Gators, taking a 19-point lead with less than a minute left until the intermission.
The Seminoles were 10 for 11 (.909) from the free throw line and 15 for 31 (48.4) from the paint in the first half. Cam'Ron Fletcher led the Seminoles at halftime with six rebounds and Green Jr. put up 12 points of his own to help the Seminoles lead the Gators at the intermission, 43-26. Green shot 2-2 from beyond the arc, with both three-pointers being made in the last three minutes of the half.
"I thought that we've always been able to fight pressure, and tonight I thought we gave into it," said Hamilton. "Deflections, steals, they had stolen the ball from us about four times and I think they scored on all four of them. That's their aggressiveness and our inability to handle the pressure."
Florida gained control early in the second half, outscoring the Seminoles 19-2 over a five-minute period. The Gators had a .806 shooting percentage from the free throw line, shooting 21 of their 13 free throws in the second half alone. Florida shot 16 for 31 (.516) from the field and two for five (.400) from beyond the arc after the intermission. The Gators scored 23 points off of Florida State's 16 turnovers.
"You have to give credit to Florida for just going out and doing what they had to do in the second half, putting themselves in a position to win," said Hamilton. "It's not easy going on the road, being down 17 at the half, and trying to figure out a way to win. Got to give them credit for their focus, their consistency throughout the game. We have tremendous respect for Florida's program. We've given it our best shot, we had an upper hand the last couple of years, and rivalries don't like that. We just have to adjust how we are going to perform with new additions and some guys we got back healthy and their confidence."

Men's Basketball Defeats Mercer, 81-72.
by Taylor Caradonna
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Cam'Ron Fletcher scored a career-high 23 points as the Seminoles gained their first victory of the season against Mercer University at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Matthew Cleveland added 18 points and Naheem McLeod pulled down a career-high nine rebounds and two assists to help Florida State defeat the Bears, 81-72.
Although the Bears came out strong in the starting minutes of the game, Florida State quickly went on a 15-3 scoring run over a seven-minute period. Led by Caleb Mills, with a 3-pointer in the last remaining minutes of the first half, two other Seminoles, Darin Green Jr. and Cam'Ron Fletcher, followed suit and each made one of their own three-pointers to increase Florida State's biggest lead of the game to 42-26.
In the first half, Florida State shot 15 for 38 (.395) from the field and six for 12 (.500) from the 3-point line. Fletcher shot a perfect three for three from beyond the arc, as well as leading the Seminoles in field goals made and field goals attempted, shooting six for eight (.750) in the paint.
It was a career-high night for Fletcher. His three 3-point field goals marked a career high for the junior guard, beating his original statistic of two three-pointers against six different teams. Fletcher's nine made field goals for the night also became a career-high, as he surpassed his seven field goals made against North Carolina in February.
Along with McLeod's career high nine rebounds and two assists, the sophomore center shot four for six (.667) from the field and added eight points to the final score. Mills totaled 12 points and Jalen Warley eight point, as both helped lead the Seminoles to their first victory of the season.
"Obviously, Naheem gave us a big lift," said Hamilton, "his energy, blocked five shots, his presence in the lane made a huge difference. I thought the players themselves made some adjustments throughout the game. They were talking more, their ideas, what they wanted to do, they suggested it."
From the free throw line, Cameron Corhen and Matthew Cleveland shot two-for-two in the first half. Mills shot five for six (.833) in free throws, clutching four-for-four of those free throws in the last minute of the game. As a team, the Seminoles finished with a .720 (18-25) free throw shooting percentage compared to Mercer's .667 mark (10-15).
"I thought that tonight, our guys played with a little more energy and consistency," said Hamilton, "I felt like I was trying to figure out what to do with our team, it was like starting all over again. Trying to work with guys who haven't played very much, aren't too experienced. I had to say I was pleasantly surprised that they were able to come in and make those contributions."
Florida State upped their game from the field in the second half, earning a .571 (12-21) shooting percentage, as Mercer struggled in both halves shooting 12 for 34 (.353) in the first half and 14 for 32 (.438) in the second. Matthew Cleveland took command after the intermission, shooting five for six (.833) from the field, one-for-one from beyond the arc, and three-for-four (.750) from the free throw line.
"We realized that we are closer to where we want to be," said Hamilton, "our guys understand that we need each other. We need to learn how to play to each other. I was glad to see us create shots for each other. They created opportunities for each other. Overall, I think we showed we have some capabilities, but we are still a long way from being as good as I think we can be."

Seminoles Fall To Siena at ESPN Events Invitational.
by Chuck Walsh
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - Andrew Platek scored a game-high 20 points on five made 3-point field goals to lead Siena to an 80-63 win over Florida State in the first round of the ESPN Events Invitational at the State Farm Field House. Platek led three Saints in double figure scoring as the Saints scored the first basket of the game and never trailed in gaining their third win of the season.
Sophomore Matthew Cleveland scored a team-high 14 points and tied for team-honors with six rebounds for the Seminoles. Also in double figures for Florida State were Cam'Ron Fletcher (13 points) and Caleb Mills (11 points). Fletcher maintained his overall team lead with six rebounds as he finished tied with Cleveland with six rebounds.
The Seminoles continued to shoot well from the free throw line as they made 19 of 25 attempts, outshooting their opponents during the game as the Saints made 17 of 20 shots from the charity stripe. The Seminoles have made an average of 17 free throws in each of their last three games.
Platek led the Saints from line range as the Saints made nine 3-point shots and shot .409 from beyond the arc. With five made 3-point shots, Platek was one of four Siena players who made at least one shot from 3-point range.
Fletcher remained hot from the 3-point line as he made two of the Seminoles' four shots from the 3-point line as she scored in double figures for the fourth time in the last five games. He was a perfect three of three from the 3-point line in Monday night's win against Mercer and is shooting better than 70 percent from the long range in the last two games (five of seven).
Cleveland scored in double figures for the third consecutive game. He totaled 14 against Florida, a season-high 18 against Mercer and 14 against Siena.
Mills was also in double figures for the third consecutive game. He scored his 11 points on four made field goals, two free throws and one 3-point shot. Mills is averaging 14.7 points in the last three games after scoring his season-high of 21 points against Florida.
The Seminoles were active defensively with a season-high 11 steals - including a career-high tying five by Fletcher. His work underneath the basket and in the passing lanes allowed Florida State to outscore the Saints by a 17-9 margin on fast break points. The Seminoles also capitalized on Siena's offensive miscues with 19 points off of 19 turnovers by the Saints.

Men's Basketball Defeats Louisville, 75-53, In Second ACC Game of Season.
by Taylor Caradonna
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Caleb Mills scored a game-high 16 points on six made field goals to lead the Seminoles in a 75-53 victory over the Louisville Cardinals at the Donald L. Tucker Center. Matthew Cleveland pulled down eight rebounds and Naheem McLeod added a career-high six blocks as the Seminoles secured their first ACC win of the season.
It was a career-high night for multiple Seminoles. McLeod blocked a career-high six shots, tied for sixth most in school history and ACC play. Cam Corhen scored a career-high 15 points one four made field goals and six made free throws.
"Naheem blocking six shots is not something that we have not gotten consistently," said Head Coach Leonard Hamilton. "The interesting thing is he didn't grow any taller, he didn't get stronger or more athletic, but his mindset was at a level that he was consistent with his effort. I thought that that shows that he's trying to give those things that he's capable of giving, which was a factor in this game when you have a guy that's blocking six shots, it creates a lot of indecision with your opponent."
Florida State's lead never wavered against Louisville. The Seminoles opened the game with a 5-0 lead, progressively widening the gap with a 13-3 scoring run that led Florida State to their largest lead of the first half (34-18).
Florida State had a .424 (14-33) shooting percentage from the field in the first half and shot four for 10 (.400) to enter the intermission with a 36-24 lead over the Cardinals, which marked their second straight halftime lead (Virginia, 22-21).
Corhen had a perfect night from the free-throw line, shooting six for six. Over the last three games, Florida State is shooting 85 percent (33 of 39) from the free throw line.
"Cam Corhen, I thought, gave us that consistency," said Hamilton. "I was a more comfortable rotating some of our more inexperienced players in; I thought they executed very well."
The Seminoles held a 24-point lead over Louisville in the second half, their biggest lead in any game of the season. Florida State scored 17 points off of Louisville's 16 turnovers and scored 15 fast break points. They scored 36 points in the paint and 26 points off the bench.
"I thought we made some progress this afternoon," said Hamilton. "Our effort was good for 40 minutes. We didn't always play as well as I think we are capable of, but our effort, our focus, our defensive effort, get deflections, steals – I thought was at our best level."
Coach Hamilton closed his press conference with a positive remark, "We are still trying to find ourselves but I was pleased that we were able to get a home victory."

Men's Basketball Defeats Notre Dame, 84-71.
by Taylor Caradonna
NOTRE DAME, Ind. - Darin Green Jr. scored a game-high 20 points on six made field goals, four 3-pointers, and four free throws to lead Florida State to an 84-71 victory over Notre Dame at the Joyce Center. Green Jr. led five Seminoles in double figure scoring, Green, Jalen Warley (17 points), Matthew Cleveland (14 points), Caleb Mills (11 points), and Cameron Corhen (10 points) to improve Florida State's ACC record to 4-4.
Matthew Cleveland secured his eighth consecutive double double against Notre Dame with 14 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. The last Seminole to reach the prestigious milestone was Reggie Royals who finished the 1970-71 season with nine consecutive double doubles. Cleveland will have the chance to join Royals in Saturday's game at Pittsburgh.
Cleveland's 16 rebounds are tied for the second most in an ACC game by a Seminole - tied with Al Thornton against Virginia on February 7, 2007. The school record for rebounds by a Seminole in an ACC game is 17 by Michael Joiner against Wake Forest on January 9, 2001. Cleveland's 16 defensive rebounds established a school record by a Florida State player in an ACC game.
Warley scored his a career-high totaling 17 points on four made field goals and eight free throws. He surpassed his former career-high of 15 points against Duke in February of 2022, and made the most free throws of his career, shooting eight for 10 (.800) from the free throw line.
Mills shot a perfect five for five from the free throw line against the Fighting Irish, marking his 22nd straight free throw in ACC play. As a Seminole, he has made 66 of 77 (.857) attempted free throws in conference play. Mills' 11 points was his ninth consecutive game scoring in double figures.
Corhen continued to be a sharpshooter from the free throw line, shooting two for two to increase his free throw shooting percentage to .917 (11-12) in the last six games. Corhens' 10 points marked his seventh game scoring in double figures.
Due to the outstanding success by the Seminoles at the charity stripe, Florida State has now shot 78 percent or better eight times this season from the line. Against Notre Dame, the Seminoles had a .793 (23-29) shooting percentage.
Florida State shutout Notre Dame in the opening minutes of the first half, with scoring drives from Mills, Cleveland, Corhen, and Green Jr. to give the Seminoles a 13-0 lead four minutes into the half.
This momentum proved to be important as the Seminoles led by 24 points midway through the first half (32-8). The Seminoles led 39-29 lead heading into intermission.
Compared to the Seminole's first half shooting percentage from the field (.452, 14-31), the second half produced an efficient .591 (13-22) shooting percentage from Warley's four made field goals and Cleveland's three.
The real turnaround for the Seminoles was from the free throw line, shooting 16-21 (.762) in the second half compared to an equally impressive but smaller shooting percentage, .875 (7-8) in the first half.
The Seminoles scored 28 points in the paint and 12 points off the bench. Florida State optimized off their opponent's turnovers, scoring 10 points off of Notre Dame's four turnovers.

Men's Basketball Defeats Miami, 85-84, On Cleveland Buzzer Beater.
by Taylor Caradonna
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Florida State's Matthew Cleveland made a well-contested 3-point shot at the buzzer to give Florida State an 85-84 win over Miami after being down by 25 points in the first half. Cleveland's heroics came directly after a Jordan Miller 3-point shot off of an inbound play that gave the Hurricanes an 84-82 lead. Cleveland then inbounded the ball to guard Jalen Warley and got the ball back as he crossed halfcourt before launching his second career buzzer-beating 3-point game-winning shot. The sophomore also beat Virginia on a nearly-identical shot in Charlottesville during his freshman season.
The Seminoles' 25-point comeback is the largest in the history of the storied Atlantic Coast Conference. The Seminoles trailed by 25 — 50-25 — after Jordan Miller made a free throw to extend the Hurricanes' lead. From that point on, the Seminoles outscored Miami on its home court by a 60-34 margin (6-4 to close the first half and 54-30 in the second half to gain the improbable victory. The Seminoles committed one second half turnover, shot .667 percent from the field (21 of 31) and .833 from the free throw line (10 of 12) to earn their fifth consecutive win on Miami's home court.
Although the Seminoles struggled in the first half, they came out with a game-changing momentum to start the second half as they scored 13 points against the Hurricanes' one point over a span of three minutes. Florida State made each of its seven field goals in the opening minutes to come within 12 points of Miami.
The matchup took an advantageous turn for the Seminoles halfway through the second half, as Florida State went on another 11-0 scoring run over four minutes to narrow the score to 68-66, with Miami still leading by two points.
Green Jr. and Caleb Mills combined for three made free throws and a layup to give the Seminoles their first lead of the game, 71-70.
During the remaining six minutes of the game, the score switched between the two teams a total of 10 times. What looked like to be a late Miami victory turned out to be a groundbreaking win for the Seminoles as Cleveland took the final shot of the game from beyond the arc to make a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
In the second half alone, Florida State outscored the Hurricanes 54-30 with 18 of the Seminoles' points coming from Matthew Cleveland.
Florida State had a .524 (33-63) shooting percentage from the field, a .350 (7-20) shooting percentage from beyond the arc, and shot 12-14 (.857) from the free throw line. Three Seminoles shot a perfect three for three from the charity stripe; Warley, Darin Green Jr., and Matthew Cleveland.
With 10 steals against Miami, this marked the sixth time this season they have totaled 10 or more steals in a game.
Chandler Jackson tied his career high with 10 points against the Hurricanes. With Jacksons' two assists in tonight's game, he earned his ninth consecutive game totaling at least one assist. Warley also tied his career high with seven rebounds.

by Taylor Caradonna
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - North Carolina's RJ Davis scored a game-high 19 points on seven made field goals and two free throws to lead the Tar Heels to a 77-66 victory over the Seminoles at the Donald L.

Junior Caleb Mills led Florida State with 19 points and six rebounds. Sophomore Matthew Cleveland came within one rebound of his 12th double-double of the season as he totaled 12 points and nine rebounds.
The Tar Heels took an early 7-2 lead in the opening minutes of the first half. The Seminoles quickly scored back-to-back points to narrow the scoring gap to 7-6.
Although North Carolina was off to a hot start with four of five field goals made in the first six minutes, the next four minutes of the half consisted of three turnovers, along with a prolonged scoring drought for the Tar Heels. Florida State took this opportunity to tie the score 12-12 with a made 3-pointer from Chandler Jackson.
North Carolina made three field goals within a minute and a half to score nine points versus the Seminoles' zero. This gave the Tar Heels a 10-point lead with less than five minutes remaining in the first half.

The Seminoles refused to let the first half define them, scoring 41 points in the second half versus the Tar Heels' 34 points. The matchup came down to the final minutes of the game, as Florida State scored 14 points over a three-minute period to narrow North Carolina's lead to only four points.

Men's Basketball Falls to Georgia Tech In ACC Tournament, 61-60.
by Taylor Caradonna
GREENSBORO, N.C. - Georgia Tech's Ja'von Franklin made the game-winning free throw with 0.3 seconds remaining to give the Yellow Jackets a 61-60 victory over Florida State in the first round of the ACC Tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum. Franklin was fouled on a lay-up attempt and sent to the line. He made his first free throw and intentionally missed the second attempt to allow the time to expire and Georgia Tech escaped with the victory.
A desperation heave at the basket by Florida State's Cam Corhen missed as the clock hit 0:00.
The win sent the Yellow Jackets into a second round game against No. 5 seeded Pittsburgh.
Georgia Tech's Miles Kelly scored a game-high 21 points on seven made field goals and three free throws to lead the Yellow Jackets in the scoring column. Kelly led three Yellow Jackets in double-figure scoring as Ja'von Franklin and Dallan Coleman each added 10 points of their own to the final score.
The Yellow Jackets outscored the Seminoles by an 8-7 margin in the final 3:39 of the game to advance to the second round of the tournament.
Georgia Tech started off the game with a 6-2 lead over Florida State, although this lead didn't last long as the Seminoles went on an 8-0 scoring run to take the lead - a lead they held until the Jackets tied the game with 3:39 remaining in the second half.
Georgia Tech gained on the Seminoles to tie the score 60-60 with less than a minute left, and ultimately won the game on Franklin's free throws.
Corhen earned his first career double-double with 12 points and a career-high 12 rebounds that shared the team-high of points scored with Darin Green Jr. It was Corhen's second game leading the Seminoles in scoring.
Florida State had a .414 (24-58) shooting percentage from the field, a .261 (6-23) shooting percentage from beyond the arc, and shot six for 12 (.500) from the charity stripe. The Seminoles scored 32 points in the paint and 15 points off the bench.
