3 weeks of punishment for Edie Darby, and she’s off
FLORIDA, TALLAHASSEE (AP) – On Thursday night, No. 18 Florida State defeated No. 11 Tennessee 92-91 behind 22 points from O’Mariah Gordon and 20 from Ta’Niya Latson.
For the first time since December 2019, Florida State (2-0) defeated a non-conference opponent ranked in the top 25.
To tie the score at 91 all, Amaya Bonner drained Florida State’s 13th 3-pointer of the contest. The next possession found Tennessee forward Rickea Jackson grabbing an offensive rebound, but he missed a putback and fouled Alexis Tucker with 24.9 seconds remaining. Tucker made one of two free-throw attempts to give Florida State the lead.
Tennessee elected not to call a timeout and Jackson got into the lane, but her fadeaway jumper rolled off and the buzzer sounded before a putback attempt.
