Sophomore Deividas Dulkys posted a team-high 17 points and hit 5-of-9 3-pointers, while Chris Singleton added another 13 points and seven rebounds for FSU.
"We had to, Coach said, just throw the first punch," said Dulkys, who led the 'Noles in scoring for the second straight game. "Coach was preaching about the Texas game…that Texas wasn't ready. So we tried to come out and execute and run and hit the first punch, and we did it…I don't think they were expecting that."
Tuesday's game marked the end of a three-game stretch in which the Seminoles faced the likes of Tennessee-Martin and Alabama A&M, and won all three games by an average of 38 points.
Now, with warm-ups officially over, FSU begins a period of 15-straight conference games to close out the regular season. The Seminoles will travel to Maryland on Sunday before playing North Carolina State, Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech at home.
"I'm not sure that you can prepare yourself for that atmosphere that we're going to face when we go to Maryland," Hamilton said. "That's not something that we can simulate in practice."
Talk about it on the Tribal Council or the Hoops Message Board.
