TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Chris Pronger Jersey . -- A pair of seven-footers ended up having a big night for Florida State.Michael Ojo recorded the first double-double of his career -- 13 points and 10 rebounds (both career highs) -- and Christ Koumadje had a career high 14 points as Florida State defeated Winthrop 100-86 on Friday.It makes it so much easier. When Ojo and Christ play big-time like that, it opens up so much for us, said guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes, who had seven points and nine assists.Ojo, a 7-foot-1 senior center, missed last season due to a knee injury. Nine of his points came from the line, where he has struggled in the past. Ojo made only 40.2 percent of his foul shots his first three years but was 9 of 12 on Friday and is making 75 percent (12 of 16) for the season.When I came back after my rehab this is one of the things Ive been working on consistently, Ojo said. This year I feel like I have to make them to leave something behind to be remembered about.Koumadje, a 7-foot-4 sophomore who is the tallest player in Seminoles history, got the first double-digit scoring game of his career as he was 7 of 8 from the field. During a 10-0 run in the first half that allowed FSU to take a 31-19 lead, he had a pair of alley-oop dunks off assists by Rathan-Mayes and Dwayne Bacon.Christ runs the lane so well, hes the tallest guy on our team and probably one of the fastest, Rathan-Mayes said. He puts so much pressure on defenses when he plays like that, when he plays with confidence and, like I said, he just opens up the floor for us.Dwayne Bacon led the Seminoles (3-0) with 15 points while Jonathan Isaac added 14 and Braian Angola-Rodas 11. The combination of Ojo and Koumadje allowed the Seminoles to have a 50-32 points-in-the-paint advantage.Winthrop (2-1) steadily whittled down the lead and got within 58-54 five minutes into the second half on a Fisher free throw before FSU went on a 9-0 run.I thought we settled down in second half, defended a lot better and executed well. We wore them down with our depth, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said.Xavier Cooks led the Eagles (2-1) with 23 points while Bjorn Broman added 16 and Roderick Perkins 11.Winthrop coach Pat Kelsey said he thought Florida States size ended up wearing them down. By the five-minute mark of the second half the Eagles had four players in foul trouble.We were close enough to be semi dangerous in the second half. We missed some open looks and at the same time they keep coming at you, he said.BIG PICTUREWinthrop: Non-conference road games have been difficult for the Eagles. They have dropped 20 of their last 27 and 36 of their last 54 overall road games.Florida State: The Seminoles showed off their depth as 11 players played within the first 10 minutes with eight scoring. Ojo and Koumadje played a combined 12 minutes in Tuesdays 21-point win over Iona but played 30 on Friday.CENTURY MARKIt is only the fifth time in a regular-season game in Hamiltons 15 seasons that the Seminoles have scored in triple figures. The last time was a 109-62 victory over Nicholls State in last years opener.HE SAID ITIts like getting a couple root canals playing against their talent and athleticism, Kelsey on Florida State.UP NEXTWinthrop: The Eagles conclude a three-game road trip on Monday against Illinois. It is the fourth time in the past five years they are facing a Big Ten team.Florida State: The Seminoles host Detroit Mercy on Sunday. This marks the first time since 1994 that they are facing the Titans.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy John Gibson Jersey .

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was asked Monday to describe the environment at Gillette Stadium during Seattles?31-24 victory over the New England Patriots.It appears that he came away unimpressed.OK, Carroll said during the Brock and Salk show on 710 ESPN Seattle. Its not a great place. They werent nuts. Its because theyre so used to winning. There was a time when they kicked their last field goal to go ahead, and it was like a round of applause for the nice effort. Gosh, our guys would be going berserk. Were so hungry for it. Its a gorgeous setting, beautiful arena and the fans, just the whole thing. Its really classy.Carroll coached the Patriots from 1997 to 1999 before getting fired.He was asked if Sunday nights victory had any special meaning to him personally.It was pretty fun. Ive gotta admit, I havent had more fun just enjoying a win, really, Carroll said. So theres some stuff in there somewhere.. Derek Grant Jersey. . But it was a freakin blast. The game was, the way that people were yelling at me walking on and off the field.Carroll said most of the heckling had to do with the way Super Bowl XLIX ended, with Patriots cornerback?Malcolm Butlers?interception of Seahawks quarterback?Russell Wilson.There was a lot of, Thanks for throwing it. That kind of stuff, all that kind of garbage, Carroll said. They were just being themselves. It was great.

Rawls has been sidelined since Week 2 with a fibula injury.Defensive end Michael Bennett (knee) is likely still a couple of weeks away from returning, Carroll said. ' ' '
