NCAA Game Summary - California Vs. Florida State

POSTED: 11:14 pm PST November 29, 2008

(Sports Network) - Toney Douglas scored a game-high 28 points to lead the Florida State Seminoles to an 80-77 win over the California Golden Bears in the final round of the Global Sports Classic at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Douglas shot 10-of-11 at the free-throw line before fouling out, while reserve Uche Echefu contributed 17 points in just 22 minutes for the Seminoles (7-0) as they remained undefeated.

The Bears (5-1) were paced by Jerome Randle who posted 26 points on the strength of his 16-of-18 effort at the charity stripe, while Patrick Christopher and Theo Robertson accounted for 17 and 16 points, respectively.

Cal missed all five shots from three-point range in the first half and finished a mere 10-of-26 from the floor, en route to a 32-23 deficit at the break.

In the second half the Bears better than doubled their first-half production, but with FSU hitting 52 percent from the floor and 18-of-23 chances at the free-throw line it simply wasn't enough.

The Seminoles managed to pick up the win despite turning the ball over 18 times and collecting just five offensive rebounds on the night.

The inside presence of Jeff Adrien and Hasheem Thabeet was took much for No. 25 West Virginia to handle, as the pair of Huskies combined for 30 points and 20 rebounds in fifth-ranked Connecticut's 61-55 victory in a classic Big East tussle. Adrien posted 17 points, while Thabeet logged 13 points and 13 rebounds for UConn (13-1, 2-1 Big East), which has bounced back with back-to-back conference victories after its lone loss to Georgetown last week. Stanley Robinson's 15 boards aided the Huskies' 52-33 edge on the glass, while Jerome Dyson and Kemba Walker chipped in 11 and 10 points, respectively. De'Sean Butler battled foul trouble for most of the contest but scored 13 points for West Virginia (11-3, 1-1), which fell to 5-1 at home and had its five-game winning streak stopped. Alex Ruoff was held to 4-of-16 shooting from the field for 13 points, while Darryl Bryant had 11 points in the loss.
