The Last Time Out
In thrilling fashion, the Seminoles defeated No. 20 Georgia Tech in Atlanta, 73-70 to earn the second win over a ranked team this season.
Sydney Bowles led the offense with 32 points to become the fourth Seminole to register a 30-point game this season. FSU and Oklahoma State are the only two teams in the country to boast four 30-point scorers this season.
Timpson contributed her 45th double-double and 14th of the season behind 19 points and 16 rebounds. She added three blocks and a steal.
Florida State extended its lead to 13 points in the fourth quarter, but Georgia Tech fought back to tie. With a tight game tied with two minutes remaining and the teams alternating scoring, Bowles hit a turnaround jumper, but Tech answered to tied 68-68. On the next possession, Timpson shot a jumper in the paint to regain the lead. After defense made a stop with Timpson coming up with the rebound, Georgia Tech was forced to foul with 18 seconds remaining.
Bowles hit three free throws down the stretch, but after a miss from Timpson at the line, the Yellow Jackets drove on the final possession and missed the three, as the Noles finished the game 73-70.
