TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Aaron Thomas scored a career-high 26 points as Florida State cruised to a 106-62 victory against Charlotte.

The last time Florida State scored 100 points was a 108-73 win against Campbell in Dec. 22, 2005.

Shawn Lester led the 49ers (7-3) with 16 points as Pierria Henry chipped in 13 and Willie Clayton finished with 11 points. Both Henry and Clayton were ejected in the second half; Henry for two techincals after a power dunk by Michael Ojo and Clayton for a flagrant-2 foul.

The Seminoles had six players score double-figures, including 18 points in 18 minutes by Ian Miller.

The win was the second in a row for the Seminoles after losing 3-of-4 on a road trip that included losses to Michigan, No. 16 Florida and Minnesota.

The Seminoles (7-3) play UMass in the Orange Bowl Classic in Sunrise, Fla. on Saturday as the 49ers host USC.
