No. 15 Women's Basketball Hosts Kent State on Sunday
12/2/2023 12:02:00 PM | Women's Basketball
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
Junior forward Makayla Timpson has been on a double-double stretch as of late, owning four in her last five games played.
Â
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).
Â
Averaging 46.71 total rebounds per game, the Seminoles rank 12th nationally in the category as well as third in the ACC.
Â
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.
Â
FSU's 11.7 turnovers per game are the 11th-lowest average in the country.
Â
The Golden Flashes (4-2) come to Tallahassee with wins this season over Xavier, Louisiana, Missouri and Coppin State.
