FSU comes up Aces in opener.
Florida State regains its midseason form just in time for the NCAA Tournament, sending Evansville home in the process.

By Steve Ellis

ORLANDO, FL - Say hello to the old Florida State and goodbye to a quick Seminole exit from the NCAA Southeast Regional.

By relocating its shooting touch, reviving a comatose Rodney Dobard, and playing superb half-court defense, FSU eliminated 14th-seeded Evansville 82-70 on Thursday at Orlando Arena.

The third-seeded Seminoles (23-9) next face their old Metro Conference rival, Tulane, on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. for a chance to repeat last season's Sweet 16 appearance. It was the third straight season FSU has won its NCAA opener.

"This looks like the club that moved through the (NCAA) Tournament a little last year," FSU coach Pat Kennedy said. "All the little things coming into this game that we were concerned about we got squared away. The guys got their confidence back, we made the 3s and played good defense."

Evansville, despite 11 rebounds and a game-high 20 points from a better-than-advertised 7-foot-1 center Sasha Hapmann, trailed by double figures most of the second half.

The Seminoles, losers of three of their last four games, shot 53.7 percent, their best shooting since Feb. 10. Among starters, only Bob Sura did not reach double figures in FSU's half-court, motion offense which placed a rare premium on unselfishness. Sura took just nine shots and had 7 points to go with seven rebounds.

Sam Cassell led FSU with 18 points and Doug Edwards, who despite getting double-team treatment, finished with 14 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. Dobard contributed 13 points and six blocked shots. Point guard Charlie Ward looked in mid-season form with 15 points, five assists and four steals.

FSU also hit a season-high 53.7 percent (7 of 13) from 3-point range after making just 12 of its last 64 attempts.

Evansville's strategy was to double team inside, pressure FSU's best shooters, and dare Ward to shoot from the outside backfired. Ward made three of four field-goal attempts and sparked FSU's decisive 18-point run in the first half.

"We had great ball movement," Kennedy said, "our best all year."

"But it wasn't just offense. We made defensive pressure the key to winning today. We were really getting after it. Another key was getting Rodney going."

It didn't begin as Dobard's game, as he left Hupmann unguarded three times to help defend on the perimeter. Hupmann scored each time before FSU tightened its defense.

By the time Dobard, as well as Byron Wells, figured there was no place like home, FSU was in an 18-18 fight with 10:05 left in the first half.

Then FSU scored 18 straight points over the next four minutes for a 36-18 lead that ultimately decided the game. Two steals, some great passing from Sura, 3-pointers from Ward and Derrick Carroll sparked the run.

"We did a lot of good things during that run," Ward said. "We passed the ball around well and played great defense like we did all game. We had a run of 13-14 wins earlier this season and if we do like we did then, we'll have a great opportunity to go a long way."

FSU blows into Sweet 16.
Seminoles think big after routing Tulane.

By Steve Ellis.

ORLANDO, FL - Florida State shelved its playground philosophy for passes with a purpose, and Sam Cassell shot his way to a higher ground.

That combination on offense, plus a relentless man-to-man defense overwhelmed Tulane 94-63 in the NCAA Southeast Regional Saturday.

Those elements also launched FSU to their second straight appearance in the Sweet 16 and this time as a team to respect, maybe even fear.

The No. 3 seed Seminoles (24-9) will play No. 7 Western Kentucky (26-5) Thursday in third-round action at Charlotte.

"We're right up there with the best," FSU forward Doug Edwards said. "It's going to take a great team to knock us out of the tournament."

"They have all the ingredients to make the Final Four," Tulane coach Perry Clark said.

Maybe even the ingredients to win it all when you consider:

"The way we were playing, sooner or later, we knew we were going to have some spurts," FSU assistant coach Kennedy Williamson said. "If we could put together a run with them not shooting well, we knew it would be difficult to come back down 10 or 20 points."

The Seminoles' first run was nearly too much. Despite making only four of 13 layups in the first half, Tulane was in it 31-29 after Anthony Reed's layup, of all things, with 2 minutes left.

Cassell answered with a 3-pointer, two layups, a steal and no talk. Just like that, FSU was ahead 39-29.

"That run set up the second half for us," Cassell said. "We came out and played aggressively. Doug and Rodney killed them inside and the shot was there for me."

"You can't allow a letdown against a team as quick and athletic as Florida State," Clark said. "We enabled them to get a 10-point lead, then Sura hitting that 3-pointer at the start of the second half put a dagger in us. We could never recover."

FSU never put on another run in the final five minutes, but didn't need to. The Seminoles were bound for the Sweet 16 and maybe more.

Florida State 81, Western Kentucky 78
03/25/1993, OT, NCAA, Sweet 16, Charlotte, N.C.

From the Tallahassee Democrat, March 26, 1993, page 43.

FSU Climbs into Elite 8.
Seminoles need OT to shake Western Kentucky.

CHARLOTTE, NC - Florida State, surviving a missed 3-pointer at the overtime buzzer and a dreadful showing from the foul line, ended Western Kentucky's postseason ride Thursday night with an 81-78 victory in the Southeast Regional semifinals.

Senior forward Doug Edwards scored 19 points to lead third-seeded Florida State into the regional finals for the first time since the Seminoles lost to the Bill Walton-led UCLA Bruins in the 1972 national championship game.

Florida State (25-9) will meet the winner of the Kentucky-Wake Forest game Saturday for a trip to New Orleans and the Final Four.

The Seminoles took a 71-69 lead four seconds into the overtime on a layup by Edwards, and used 3-pointers by Bob Sura and Sam Cassell to stretch their lead to 78-74 with 2:13 left.

Florida State, which made only 18 of 38 free throws, did not make a field goal the rest of the way.

The Seminoles opened the door for Western Kentucky when Rodney Dobard was called for traveling with 21.1 seconds left with Florida State up just 80-78.

But Western Kentucky freshman Michael Fraliex, trying to pass to teammate Darius Hall down low, threw the ball out of bounds with 7.5 seconds remaining.

After Florida State's Derrick Carroll made one free throw with 5.6 seconds left to make it 81-78, Western Kentucky got the ball into the frontcourt and stopped the clock with four seconds to go.

When play resumed, Fraliex appeared to step over the center line, but no call was made, and he passed the ball to Cypheus Bunton in the right corner. Bunton's high-arching shot bounced high off the rim twice before falling away.

Darnell Mee scored 21 points for the seventh-seeded Western Kentucky (26-6), which had its eight-game winning streak snapped.

As expected, both teams came out running in the first half. The game's first four minutes were played at a furious pace.

Dobard, whose fractured bone near his big toe was a big concern to FSU, came out fast. By the first timeout for TV, FSU had a 16-13 lead and Dobard had 7 points. He scored on a spectacular alley-oop pass from Sura for a dunk, then tipped in a Cassell miss and slammed home Edwards' miss.

Western Kentucky countered early with the steady play of guard Mark Bell. On consecutive possessions, the 5-foot-8 senior hit 3-pointers. On the second one, he was fouled by Edwards and converted the 4-point play.

FSU forged a 7-point lead midway through the first half when Sura scored on a layup off a pass from Cassell, then turned a Dobard block at one end into a breakaway, reverse dunk at the other.

When Western Kentucky went nearly four minutes without a score, FSU extended its lead to 26-15. To conclude that run, freshman Derrick Carroll came off the bench to sink an 18-footer and a 12-foot baseline turnaround.

Those were the first two baskets the Seminoles got from the perimeter. Otherwise, they were able to either get fast-break layups or penetrate Western Kentucky's man-to-man defense with the dribble.

Just when it appeared that FSU would put this game away early, Western Kentucky went on an 11-2 run to pull within 32-30. During that run, Cassell missed his first 3-point attempt of the NCAA Tournament after making two against Evansville and a tournament-record seven straight against Tulane.

The teams played basket for basket until Western Kentucky finally tied it at 40 on two free throws by Mee. And that's how the first half ended with nothing decided.

FSU and Western Kentucky arrived in Charlotte via considerably different routes.

The Seminoles were heavily favored to defeat 11th-seeded Tulane. As expected, FSU stormed through the Orlando bracket with a 12-point decision over Evansville and a 31-point win over Tulane.

Western Kentucky entered the Southeast Region as the seventh-seed, but were actually underdogs to 10th-seeded Memphis State in the opener, then to second-seeded Seton Hall in the second round. The Hilltoppers struggled past Memphis State by 3, then stunned Seton Hall by 4.

On the surface, it appeared that Western Kentucky was this NCAA Tournament's Cinderella story. But the Hilltoppers closed out the regular season with a No. 20 national ranking, just nine spots behind FSU.

"They are not a Cinderella team," FSU coach Pat Kennedy said prior to the game. "They had wins at New Orleans and at Louisville. They're deep and use a lot of schemes, more like a Cincinnati even than a Kentucky. We developed a great deal of respect for them over the last couple days (of studying) tapes."

Wildcats are too much for Seminoles, 106-81.
Florida State provides a strong challenge but is left behind by the tournament's hottest team.

By Steve Ellis, Democrat staff writer

CHARLOTTE, NC - The Road to the Final Four ended one stop short for Florida State as the Seminoles crashed into a big Blue wall Saturday.

A 106-81 dismantling by No. 1 seed Kentucky in the NCAA Southeast Regional final ended FSU's second-most successful season on a rather dubious historical note.

The margin of defeat was the second-worst in Pat Kennedy's seven years and came despite third-seed FSU (25-10) giving Kentucky all it wanted by halftime, 54-46.

"We took the season as far as we could and we finally hit the wall," FSU assistant coach Tom Carlson said.

It ended as just another day at the office for Kentucky, which has won its seven SEC and NCAA Tournament games by an average of 31 points and is 30-3 for the season.

A 20-6 run, in which FSU scored just one field goal in nine minutes to give Kentucky an 86-66 lead with 6:12 remaining, left FSU in a total wreck.

"We just didn't have any juice left," Carlson said. "We missed our jumpers and couldn't even hit layups. It was all gone."

Kentucky ultimately wore FSU down inside - even the well-rested point guard Charlie Ward was tugging at his shorts throughout the second half.

The Wildcats outrebounded FSU 51-25 (22-8 offensively) and received 22 points and 11 rebounds out of surprise starter, 6-foot-9 forward Jared Prickett who made the most of a mismatch with 6-foot-5 Bob Sura before 6-foot-8 Derrick Carroll helped out.

FSU also gave second chances to a team too good for such generosity. Kentucky scored 29 points on second chances to FSU's 13 and, by midway through the second half, was ahead of FSU 20-5 in that category.

All that explained how Kentucky dismantled FSU despite getting just 12 points out of team-leader and NBA lottery pick Jamal Mashburn. Travis Ford added 19 points, 12 on bombs from the 3-point line, as the Wildcats made 47.9 percent (11 of 23) of their 3-pont attempts.

In contrast, FSU shot just 41 percent from the floor. Sura led the Seminoles with 17 points. Sam Cassell and Rodney Dobard each scored 16 points and Doug Edwards added 15.

"We played just seven guys and they kept throwing guys at us," Edwards said. "We just wore out. They were getting a lot of second shots and that hurt us more than anything.

"We were told to lay off Prickett because he wasn't really one of their key guys. But he just kept crashing the board."

By the time Edwards left the game with five fouls and two choice words of profanity for one of the referees - FSU had seen enough.

"You've got to give it to them," Edwards said. "In the first half, I thought we could play with them. We had a great game plan, but the just had too much."

Kentucky was prepared for Ward, FSU's starting quarterback, to test their defense with deep throws. Instead, Cassell hit Bob Sura three straight times to give FSU a 6-6 tie less than two minutes into the game.

The Wildcats, after opening with a 34-8 run in its victory over Wake Forest in the regional semifinals, never had the luxury in the first half Saturday.

"Give a lot of credit to Florida State, that was the best anybody attacked our press in a long time," Kentucky coach Rick Pitino said. "(FSU's defense forced) us to have someone other than Jamal and Travis step up."

FSU continued to find ways to break Kentucky's press, and then through great defensive effort, FSU led 27-26.

Cassell's steal led to an easy layup by Sura, then Ward took his own steal in for the FSU lead with 9:25 left.

When Kentucky immediately called a timeout, FSU players rushed to the bench awash in confidence.

"The feeling was we 'can beat them, we can beat them,'" Cassell said.

Yet with Edwards already on the bench with three fouls and Prickett beginning to have success inside, the pending reality was hard to ignore.

"Kentucky has just too much talent for us to lose Edwards to fouls," Kennedy said.

It also hurt that FSU missed some opportunities that would have made it close at the half.

"We had chances to take the lead at the end of the first half, but did not make good choices," Kennedy said.

Cassell added: "We weathered the storm in the first half, but couldn't keep it up."

Kentucky was just too good.
