The Seminoles shot a season-high 61.7 percent from the floor to win their fourth ACC game in their last five and giving them a shot of momentum going into Sunday's showdown at Duke.
A 96-79 victory over Maryland on Tuesday improved FSU to 16-6 overall and 4-4 in the conference with eight games remaining. Al Thornton was unstoppable yet again with 27 points and eight rebounds for the Seminoles, who shot 61.7 percent from the field and received a career-best 24 points from Rich on 10-of-12 shooting. Toney Douglas (16) and Swann (15) also scored in double figures in the run-and-gun show.
Florida State senior forward Al Thornton, who has helped the Seminoles to a 16-6 record heading into Sunday's nationally televised game against Duke, has been named to the John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top-30 list as announced by the Wooden Award Committee. Thornton is now one of the 30 finalists across the nation in college basketball who will compete for one of 10 spots on the 10-member Wooden All-American team and Wooden Award Player of the Year honors.
