Douglas takes over for FSU

His 28 points help the 'Noles top Miami for the fourth straight time.

CORAL GABLES - Toney Douglas scored 28 to lead Florida State past Miami 62-55 on Wednesday night, the Seminoles' fourth straight win in the series.

Jason Rich added 14 points and Uche Echefu 10 for the Seminoles (14-10, 3-6 ACC), who used an 11-0 second-half run to take the lead for good.

Jack McClinton scored 16 for Miami (15-7, 2-6), which has lost seven of its past 10.

Both teams had early shooting woes. The score was 2-2 during the first 5:35, and Miami didn't manage a field goal until Brian Asbury connected 6:25 after tipoff.

Douglas gave FSU a spark.

He scored 11 in the final 4:51 of the first half, including his third 3-pointer with one second left to give the Seminoles a 30-25 edge at halftime.

And Douglas keyed the second-half spurt by the Seminoles, who trailed 37-34 before their big run that was capped by his fifth 3-pointer with 9:44 left.

Lance Hurdle's 3-pointer with 34.1 seconds left got Miami within 58-55, but the Hurricanes, who shot 31 percent, got no closer.

The Seminoles played the second half without guard Isaiah Swann, who injured his left leg. The severity was not known.
