12/16/2023 8:50:00 PM | Women's Basketball
The 22nd-ranked Florida State Women's Basketball team (7-3) visits the City of Brotherly Love for the first time since 2014 when they battle Drexel (4-3) on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.
Â
The game can be live streamed for free on FloHoops' various social platforms, including their YouTube page, X account and Facebook account.
Â
Florida State last played in Philadelphia on Dec. 14, 2014, when it defeated Temple, 66-62, in what was current head coach Brooke Wyckoff's fourth season as an assistant coach at FSU.
Â
Drexel was recently added to Philadelphia's famous Big 5 schools, which also includes Villanova, Temple, LaSalle, Penn and St. Joseph's. The Seminoles are a combined 6-1 against those schools, only playing Temple (5-1) and St. Joseph's (1-0).
Â
Sunday's game between Florida State and Drexel will be the first head-to-head meeting by the two programs in any sport since FSU softball won a doubleheader against the Dragons on March 23, 1992.
Â
Sophomore Ta'Niya Latson has proven once again to be lethal against ranked competition this season. In FSU's three ranked matchups this season vs. No. 11 Tennessee, No. 4 Stanford and No. 2 UCLA, Latson is averaging 23.0 points, shooting 44.9 percent from the floor, 42.9 percent from 3-point range and averaging 2.7 steals per game.
Â
The Seminoles are averaging nearly 17 points per game (16.8) in scoring off turnovers this season.
Â
Junior forward Makayla Timpson already owns five double-doubles this season. She recorded 13 last season, tied for the second most in a season in program history and behind only WNBA All-Star Natasha Howard's 15 double-doubles in the 2013-14 year.
Â
Despite being a high-possession team that plays with pace, FSU ranks 14th nationally with just 12.0 turnovers per game and 43rd in the country in assist/turnover ratio at 1.18.
Â
FSU ranks second in the ACC and 21st in the country averaging 83.9 points per game.
Â
The Seminoles return home for a game against Alabama State right before their holiday break on Wednesday, Dec. 20, at 6 p.m.
