There were some too-close-for-comfort moments in the second half. But in the end, Florida State picked up its first road win of the season with an emphatic finish at Miami.

Malique Ewin scored 20 points and pulled down 10 rebounds, while Taylor Bol Bowen had 16 points and six rebounds in FSU’s 80-65 win on Wednesday in Coral Gables.

FSU has won 15 of the last 16 games in the series vs. Miami. The Seminoles have won each game at Coral Gables since Jan. 2019.

Ewin shot 10 of 14 from the floor, dazzling with an array of post moves and delivering thunderous dunks. It was his third double-double of the season, but it was his first in an ACC game.

Bowen shot 6 of 6 from the floor, drilling all four of his 3-pointers. He added three assists.

Daquan Davis had nine points and 10 assists. The Seminoles had a season-best 26 assists.

The Seminoles were stingy on the defensive end of the court. Justin Thomas had three of FSU’s eight steals. Chandler Jackson had three of FSU’s seven blocks.

“I thought everybody contributed,” FSU coach Leonard Hamilton said. “There wasn’t anybody that came into the game that didn’t have an affect.”

The Seminoles (11-4, 2-2 ACC) have won back-to-back league games going into a matchup on Saturday at Clemson — which is 4-0 in conference games.

Former FSU guard Matthew Cleveland struggled in the first half, scoring three points. But he finished with 16 points on 6 of 12 shooting for Miami (4-11, 0-4).

FSU shot 32 of 64 (50 percent) from the floor and 10 of 24 (41.7 percent) from 3-point range.

ATLANTA – Atlanta’s Inspector General warns legislation introduced this week will gut her office and turn the clock back on attempts to weed out corruption, fraud and misconduct at City Hall.

The independent watchdog agency has come under fire by city employees for alleged tactics and procedures. 

Even Mayor Andre Dickens’s office has found itself at odds with the IG.

The legislation is sponsored by longtime Council member Howard Shook and six of his colleagues.

The IG says if it passes, it will rip the teeth out of her office.

“We have had delays. We’ve had obstruction. We’ve had disclosure of our requests,” said Atlanta Inspector General Shannon Manigault. 

She is disappointed in legislation introduced Monday by Shook to limit the authority of the independent office in its effort to hold city employees and officials accountable.

Currently, stakeholder organizations nominate board members to oversee the IG, but Shook’s legislation would change the charter.

“It takes the additional step of creating a mayoral board, so right now the board of the inspector general and the language in the charter says the board is there to ensure the independence of the office. That model, which is a great one, and one that had been lauded by other cities,” Shannon Manigault affirmed.

That could soon go away. The IG believes all Atlantans should be alarmed by this.

Another new aspect, the new board would appoint an inspector general, which could leave Manigault searching for a new job.

“Always what is important is what’s best for the institution. It’s not about Shannon Manigault. It’s about the citizens of Atlanta having trust in this office that’s supposed to build trust in city government,” the IG said.

Manigault says the proposed legislation also does away with the IG getting immediate access to employee documents.

“Rather than have immediate access of records, we need to root out fraud, waste, and corruption in the city. We have to go to employees, and it’s voluntary as to whether those employees are gonna provide city records and city property. That’s unheard of,” the top attorney explained.

The legislation was introduced Monday.

There will be an opportunity to make changes to it next week during the finance committee meeting.
