Anthony Polite - Returned to starting lineup Polite (undisclosed) started the Seminoles second preseason game against Florida College on Friday after not playing in the teams first exhibition game, Noles 247 reports.

Impact After not playing in the first exhibition game for an undisclosed reason, Polite returned to action tallying six points, eight rebounds, four assists and four steals.

Rayquan Evans - First half explosion Evans scored 14 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3PT, 3-3 FT) to go along with four rebounds, two assists and a steal in the 102-55 victory of Florida College on Friday.

Impact In an exhibition match that had blowout written all over it, Evans scored all 14 of his points in the first half of the game. Evans was coming off of a 17-point performance in the teams first preseason game. The senior averaged just 5.1 points and 2.0 rebounds last season and while his preseason performances have been very encouraging, he'll almost certainly face competition much harder moving forward in the season.
