TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Since the start of preseason practices, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton has been selling his teams depth as their biggest advantage. On Tuesday night, the Seminoles put that on full display.Six players scored in double figures as the Seminoles cruised to a 99-78 victory over Iona. It is the first time since the 2014-15 opener against Manhattan that they have had that many players in double figures.Overall I was pleased with the direction, Hamilton said. The biggest challenge for us is to utilize the quality of the depth. Were trying to explain that we have to understand that each night it is going to be different guys that are going to step up. Were a team that is going to win by committee.Freshman Jonathan Isaac led the way with 20 points as the 2-0 Seminoles shot 58 percent from the floor (34 of 59) and were 30 of 42 when not shooting 3-pointers. Phil Cofer had 13 points and six rebounds while Terrance Mann (12), Jarquez Smith (12), Trent Forrest (10) and Dwayne Bacon (10) also scored in double figures.They also had nine players who saw 15 minutes or more of playing time as Hamilton continues to look for the best floor combinations.We just wanted to lock in and show people why we should be in the tournament. You cant decide that off two games but you just have to keep playing the way we were playing tonight, Bacon said.The Gaels led for most of the first five minutes before the Seminoles went on a 14-2 run for a 24-13 lead with 10:36 remaining. They would lead by as many as 18 in the first half and had a 47-32 advantage at halftime.FSU led by as many as 26 points midway in the second half as it extended its win streak in nonconference home games to 12.UConn transfer Sam Cassell Jr., who is the son of former NBA and Florida State standout Sam Cassell Sr., led Iona (0-1) with 28 points. Jordan Washington added 16 and Jon Severe 12.The Gaels, who scored 37.3 percent of their points on 3-pointers last season, were 9 of 31 from beyond the arc.They have a lot more size than we have and when Jordan got in foul trouble it hurts our team, Iona coach Tim Cluess said. They did a good job of reversing and driving the ball on us along with really challenging us at the rim and getting us into foul trouble.BIG PICTUREIona: The Gaels lost six players from last years team that made the NCAA Tournament. With two sophomores in the starting lineup, they could struggle early in the season as coach Tim Cluess tries to work in six newcomers into the rotation.Florida State: Coach Leonard Hamilton was eager to see how his team would do against a quality mid-major opponent. The Seminoles struggled early, especially in their transition game, but freshmen Isaac and Forrest looked more relaxed in their second game, combining for 30 points.STAT OF THE NIGHTFlorida State is usually a good team from the free-throw line but it started out by missing seven of its first 10. The Seminoles though would end the night by making 24 of their last 30.HE SAID ITIt felt good getting on the court and playing down here. Its my fathers team. I wanted to beat him so I could talk trash to him but it is what it is. Cassell Jr.UP NEXTIona: The Gaels travel out west for a game against Nevada on Sunday. Ionas first six games are on the road and it doesnt have its first home game until Dec. 4 against Niagara.Florida State: The Seminoles host Winthrop on Friday as part of the NIT Season Tip-Off.---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 Custom Blues Jerseys .

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Robby Anderson is a low-key, soft-spoken guy who would rather make noise with his play than his mouth.Well, the rookie wide receiver has been pretty loud on the field lately.Anderson set career highs with six catches for 99 yards in the Jets 23-17 overtime win at San Francisco last Sunday. In the last four games, he leads New York with 263 yards receiving on 15 catches while becoming a key part of the Jets offense.I mean, winning was the most fun part, Anderson said after practice Tuesday. But its been a lot more fun being involved in the offense more.Hes fourth on the team with 34 catches and ranks eighth among rookie wide receivers in team history with 464 yards receiving, with names such as Al Toon, Rob Moore, Wayne Chrebet, Wesley Walker and Keyshawn Johnson ahead of him on the list.Not bad for an undrafted free agent out of Temple who came to training camp as a long shot to make the Jets roster.Anderson is hardly the most imposing guy in the locker room, standing at a gangly 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds. But hes making big plays down the stretch for New York, including a leaping 26-yard catch on a pass from Bryce Petty that helped set up the winning score against San Francisco.I love that, Anderson said. Since I first got my opportunity, I wanted to help the team in any way possible.With Petty starting the final four games of the season, Anderson likely will get plenty more chances at making plays.Hes kind of one of those, as we like to call him in our QB room, a QB-friendly guy, Petty said. When youre running and escaping, he just finds where you are.The two worked together a lot during the preseason, when Anderson led the NFL with 264 yards receiving on 13 catches.The film speaks, Anderson said. Me and him have been connecting and making some big plays. I love being out there with him and playing and contributing.Fellow rookie Juston Burris has been staying patient all season while hoping to get opportunities in the Jets secondary.The fourth-round cornerback out of North Carolina State has just five tackles on defense, but had two of them and a pass defensed against the 49ers while seeing his first real extended playing time in the secondary.I felt comfortable and just trying to get better every day, Burris said. I think thats what Ive been doing in practice. Obviouusly, I havent been playing as much in the games.ddddddddddddHe has played in every game this season, but mainly only special teams, where he ranks second on the Jets with six tackles.Against San Francisco, Burris played a season-high 50 of 57 defensive snaps, second among Jets cornerbacks to Darrelle Revis after playing no defensive snaps against Indianapolis the previous game.They gave me an opportunity on Sunday, Burris said, and I just took it and ran with it.Burris played the snaps that backup Darryl Roberts has usually been getting this season.I wanted to take a look at Burris, coach Todd Bowles said. Wed like to see him a little bit more.Buster Skrine is in the concussion protocol and is uncertain to play, especially with a short week. So Burris could be in for lots of action Saturday night against Miami -- a welcome possibility for a guy who played many snaps in training camp and the preseason.I understand whats going on, Burris said. Weve got a lot of guys in front of me, a lot of guys who have experience. I know my role. My role then was special teams. I was just trying to embrace my role and do the best I could on that, and now, my job is to try to help this defense win.Burris says he picks Revis brain on a daily basis, trying to get pointers to improve his game.Hes a guy whos played this position and played it the way I want to play the position, Burris said. Hes been dominant, and thats the way I want to be.New Yorks leaky secondary has been a big issue throughout the season, with the Jets ranking 22nd in passing defense. Revis and Skrine have struggled, and Roberts and Marcus Williams have had their issues at times, too.With Revis no lock to be back next season, Burris -- like Anderson -- could be giving the Jets a glimpse at their future during the final few games.Weve got a lot of depth and a lot of young guys who are hungry and ready to play, Burris said. Obviously, weve got a veteran team and a lot of older guys up on the depth charts, but weve got a lot of guys ready to play and biding their time. We just have to continue to progress and get better in practice.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
