FSU sports information:
In-state rivals Florida State and Miami face off once again at the Tucker Center on Sunday at 11 a.m. The game will be broadcast on the CW.
Sunday’s game is part of FSU’s National Girls and Women in Sport Celebration, where select student-athletes from each of the Seminoles’ women’s sports teams will be in attendance and recognized throughout the game. The first 750 fans will get an FSU-themed National Girls and Women in Sport Day T-shirt.
The Noles and Canes play for the 69th time overall, with FSU holding a 49-19 series advantage. Since 2020, the two programs are tied in the series at 4-4, including a split last season where each team won on its home court.
Florida State was the last team in the ACC to have a bye game, not playing since last Sunday’s 78-67 win at Georgia Tech. Sophomore guard Ta’Niya Latson was sensational vs. the Yellow Jackets with 33 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals - breaking FSU’s career record for 30-point games with 12 already.
FSU will look to deplete a Miami bench that ranks 15th nationally with 27.4 bench points per game and has a rotation where eight of its 10 players average 17 or more minutes per game. The Seminoles continue to lead the league in conference play in scoring at 76.9 points.
Latson is playing consecutive games against “hometown” opponents. In high school she won a GEICO national title with Snoop Turnage in 2021 at Westlake High School in Atlanta and just defeated Georgia Tech. Now she plays against the rival Hurricanes, near where she spent her senior year of high school at American Heritage. Latson lived in several states growing up as part of her military family background.
Despite averaging around 77 possessions per game, FSU’s offense is sixth nationally and first in the ACC with just 11.2 turnovers per game.
In Miami’s last visit to the Tucker Center on Dec. 21, 2022, Makayla Timpson had 19 points, five rebounds and four blocked shots in the second half alone. She finished with 25 points, nine rebounds and four blocks in an FSU 92-85 win over the eventual NCAA Elite 8 participants.
The Seminoles enter Sunday’s game tied for seventh in the ACC (6-4), while Miami is ninth in the league standings.
