Caleb Mills scored 13 points and Florida State held off cold-shooting Tulane 59-54 in a nonconference game Wednesday night in Tallahassee, Fla.

Cam'Ron Fletcher added 11 points for the Seminoles (2-1), who bounced back from a 71-55 loss at Florida on Sunday that knocked them out of the AP Top 25.

Jalen Cook scored 21 points and Jaylen Forbes added 15 to lead the Green Wave (1-2), who shot just 29.1 percent from the floor.

Tulane went scoreless for nearly the first six minutes of the second half, but FSU scored just three points during the stretch and held a 40-32 lead.

Cook's layup ended the Green Wave drought, and he added a 3-pointer that pulled Tulane within 42-37.

The Green Wave pulled within three points on three occasions before Fletcher converted a three-point play and Osborne and Fletcher had consecutive dunks that produced a 56-46 lead with 3:46 left.

Cook's 3-poimter pulled Tulane within 57-54 with 1:56 left, but Anthony Polite answered with a put-back and the Green Wave didn't score again.

Both teams were sloppy on offense throughout, but 3-point shooting provided much of the first-half scoring.

Forbes made two 3-pointers and converted a three-point play and Jadan Coleman added a 3-pointer as Tulane took a 17-10 lead.

FSU used 3-pointers to make a run of its own. Fletcher and Mills each made a 3-pointer as the Seminoles took an 18-17 lead.

Tylan Pope's 3-pointer put the Green Wave back on top. Mills made another 3-pointer and Cook answered with another to tie the score at 25.

Fletcher and Wyatt Wilkes each made a 3-pointer as the Seminoles took a 35-29 lead.

Forbes responded with a 3-pointer before Matthew Cleveland's dunk gave FSU a 37-32 lead at the half.

Forbes (14 points) and Cook (10) combined to score three-quarters of Tulane's first-half points.

The Green Wave made more 3-pointers (six) than 2-pointers (five) in the half. The Seminoles made six from beyond the arc and seven from inside the arc.
