Thornton Gets Double Double As Noles Beat Wake



Al Thornton scored 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while Toney Douglas scored 10 straight points late in the second half as Florida State defeated Wake Forest 74-66 Saturday, handing the Demon Deacons their sixth straight loss.

A sophomore transfer from Auburn, Douglas' 3-pointer with 5:18 left gave Florida State a 57-56 lead. He made another for a 64-59 lead with 2:56 left.

The difference was at the free throw line where Florida State made 22 of 30 while Wake Forest was just 6 of 12. Thornton, the ACC's leading scorer in conference play, was 11 of 13.

Florida State (15-5, 3-4) also got 11 points from Isaiah Swann, who came off the bench for the first time this season.
