With a 'winner's mentality,' Ta'Niya Latson quick to close on 1,000 points

[Bob Ferrante]

Talked with Ta'Niya Latson and Brooke Wyckoff this afternoon. Some good thoughts from Wyckoff on what makes Latson so special - the sophomore guard is 25 points from the 1,000-point mark going into Thursday night's game:

TheOsceola - With a 'winner's mentality,' Ta'Niya Latson quick to close on 1,000 points

Ta'Niya Latson has 975 points and could become the fastest in FSU women's hoops history to hit the 1,000-point mark.

Great read! Glad she’s a Nole and hope she can get to 1,000 vs UNC tomorrow.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

FSU opens up an 8-2 lead. 3s from Gordon and Turnage

No points for Latson yet

Latson drives, gets a bucket in the lane

10-4 FSU

 

[Bob Ferrante]

FSU leads 13-8 at the first TV timeout, 3:50 left in 1Q

 

[semispear]

Gordon for 3 to end the quarter!

 

[Bob Ferrante]

 

[semispear]

We got good Bejedi today!

 

[semispear]

What happened to Tuckers shot?

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Quite surprised FSU is taking so many 3s but FSU is ahead 41-26 at the half

 

[semispear]

Not a bad first half considered Latson only scored 2 but had 5 assists. Defense has been solid.

 

[Bob Ferrante]

What a night for Bejedi. Give her 20 points with that drive, making the tough contested shot at the rim

FSU up 53-34 at TV timeout, 3:50 left in 3Q

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Latson up to 8 points on 3 of 10 shooting, 2 of 3 FTs

 

[semispear]

Getting close to “I need a drink” territory. Got the lead up to 20 before UNC goes on a run

 

[Bob Ferrante]

FSU is 4 of 15 in the 3Q from the floor

 

[semispear]

Please get tucker out of the game

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Big 3 there from Bejedi

63-55 FSU

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Timpson up to 10 rebounds

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Deja Kelly up to 23 points

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Deja Kelly just fouled out with 5:05 to go

FSU leads 63-57

 

[semispear]

Gotta get Timpson a look inside the paint instead of settling for the 3

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Latson drives to the basket and is down on the court for some time but now leaves the court and is putting weight on both feet

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Big bucket and FT by Timpson

70-62 FSU

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Final: FSU knocks off UNC

 

[semispear]

Much needed win. Glad to see Latson walk back out during the handshake line. Hope she is good to go for Sunday.

Man still can’t we blew a 21 point lead but a win is a win. Gotta keep feeding Timpson in the post.

Any word on how long Bonner is out?
