HONOLULU (AP) – Derwin Kitchen scored 19 points and Chris Singleton added 17 and 10 rebounds in Florida State’s 68-61 victory Saturday over No. 15 Baylor in the third-place game of the Diamond Head Classic.
Bernard James had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Seminoles (11-3), who recorded their first win over a ranked team this season.
It was a disappointing trip for the Bears (8-3), who dropped two straight in Hawaii and three this week after reaching No. 9, the highest ranking in school history.
Florida State’s scrappy defense and strong play in the middle kept Baylor off-balance. The Seminoles held the Bears to 33 percent shooting.
LaceDarius Dunn led Baylor with 23 points but missed two key free throws down the stretch.
