Malik Osborne tallied 18 points, his career high in a Florida State uniform, leading the No. 20 Seminoles to a 105-70 rout of Penn on Wednesday night in both teams' opener at Tallahassee, Fla.

In his third season with the Seminoles after transferring from Rice, Osborne also had a career-high-tying 13 rebounds.
