Freshman M.J. Walker scored 22 points and junior Terance Mann added 20 to lead Florida State to a 90-73 victory over Colorado State in the championship game at the inaugural Jamaica Classic at the Montego Bay Convention Centre. 

Walker made five 3-point shots and was a perfect three-of-three from the free throw line as Florida State ran its record to 3-0 on the season.

Colorado State, which trailed by a 47-36 margin at the break, outscored the Seminoles by a 14-1 score to open the second half.  The early blitz by Colorado State gave the Rams a 50-48 lead with 15:11 remaining.

The Seminoles would then outscore the Rams by a 42-23 margin in the final 15:11 of the game to gain the win.

“I was pleased that these games (at the Jamaica Classic) gave us things that we can learn about ourselves,” FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said.  “This team (Colorado State) showed us a Virginia-type defense where you really have to think and I think that challenged our inexperience.”

Sunday’s result followed their opening day 67-43 win over Fordham.
