No. 15 Florida State Women’s Basketball battles Kent State in the return trip of a home-and-home series on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Tucker Center. The Seminoles (5-2) won last year’s meeting, 80-71, on the road in Kent, Ohio.

Talented Florida State Women’s Basketball Assistant Coach and Alumna Morgan Toles spent four seasons at Kent State from 2016-20, where she trained the team’s point guards, was Kent State’s recruiting coordinator and enjoyed much success with the Golden Flashes.

Sophomore guard Ta’Niya Latson was on pace to break the FSU single-game scoring record at Kent State, finishing the game with a then-career high 34 points last year. She fouled out midway through the fourth quarter but was challenging Natasha Howard’s school-record 40 points scored at Syracuse on Feb. 13, 2014.

Florida State is averaging nearly 12 fast-break points per game (11.9), out-scoring its opponents in six of seven games this season. In a 90-52 win over Northwestern in Las Vegas, FSU out-scored the Wildcats 23-0 in transition.

Junior forward Makayla Timpson has been on a double-double stretch as of late, owning four in her last five games played.

In five of its first seven games, FSU has played Power 5 opponents including No. 11 Tennessee (W, 92-91), rival Florida (W, 79-75), Northwestern (W, 90-52), No. 4 Stanford (L, 88-100) and Arkansas (L, 58-71).

Averaging 46.71 total rebounds per game, the Seminoles rank 12th nationally in the category as well as third in the ACC.

Junior guard O’Mariah Gordon continues to take care of the basketball, ranking 28th nationally and third in the conference with a 3.12 assist/turnover ratio.

FSU’s 11.7 turnovers per game are the 11th-lowest average in the country.

The Golden Flashes (4-2) come to Tallahassee with wins this season over Xavier, Louisiana, Missouri and Coppin State.

I was hoping we would see a lineup change but Brooke is rolling out the same five. Need a win today. Kent st is a solid team that almost beat us last season.
