TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)–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 — including 20 in the second half — to pick up their 20th win of the season and improve to 11-4 at home.
