Action on day one of the inaugural Jamaica Classic NCAA men’s college basketball pre-season tournament saw Florida State easing to a 67-43 win over Fordham at the Montego Bay Convention Centre.

The Seminoles, who improved to 2-0 in pre-season, were led by freshman Mflondu Kabengele who compiled 15 points and 9 rebounds.

He was assisted by junior Terrence Mann who went 7 of 9 from the field to end with 14 points.

Kabengele and Mann were the only two players in double figure scoring as the Seminoles utilized a suffocating defense that limited the Rams to 12 made field goals and a .231 field goal shooting percentage while blocking nine shots and recording 12 steals.

Action in another game saw Cameron Reynolds scoring a game high 25 points as Tulane hammered Colorado State 80-53 to register the day’s biggest win while Miami (Ohio) carved out a 78-74 win over LIU Brooklyn.
