Fallin's Barbeque Thomas Postgame Show - Florida State

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State defeated Thomas, 122-52, in Tuesday's exhibition in the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center. The exhibition was the first in Night Hawks' history against a Power Five conference opponent and the first of two this season against NCAA Division I foes.

"Like I told my players, it's the little things," Thomas coach Brent Crews said when asked what his team took away from the contest. "No matter what the outcome...we have to listen. We have to execute still."

Raiquan Gray and Ike Obiagu each had 12 points, as six Seminoles ended in double figures. 

Johnnel Ginnie led the Night Hawks with 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Hezekiah Goodwin chipped in nine points. Eric Johnson finished 5-of-6 from the free throw line, as Crews' squad was 13-of-19.

Jerodd Blount pulled down seven rebounds for the Green and White. Jakari Bush had three assists.

In addition to Bush, Tuesday's exhibition was a homecoming for Willie Holloway and Forrest Freeland, who saw action against Florida State. Holloway pulled down a pair of rebounds to go along with a steal. Freeland scored two points and also pulled down two boards.

"Their dream was to play in this building against Florida State," Crews said. "To see them get out there and have their families come cheer them on, I think it was a dream come true for a lot of families and players."

Thomas takes part in the Veteran's Day Classic, hosted by Faulkner (Ala.) from NAIA Division I, Nov. 10-11. The Night Hawks face the Eagles on Friday at 7 p.m. ET before matching up against Talladega (Ala.), also from NAIA Division I, on Satuday at 2 p.m.
