EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) -- Delvon Arrington and Adrian Crawford scored 12 points each and Florida State shot 50 percent in a 60-46 win over Northwestern on Wednesday night in the final game of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.

Damous Anderson added 11 points for Florida State (3-2), which hit 25 of 50 shots and outrebounded Northwestern 35-25.

Steve Lepore scored 18 points to lead Northwestern (1-4).

The Seminoles led 31-17 at halftime and pushed the lead to 17 before Lepore hit a 3-pointer with 16:32 left to end a Northwestern field-goal drought that lasted more than 14 minutes. Lepore sank three more 3-point shots over the next 3½ minutes, and his third cut the Florida State lead to 41-32 with 13:03 remaining.

Winston Blake converted a three-point play with 9:56 left to cut the lead to eight at 45-37. But Justin Mott scored inside with 9:19 left and Arrington hit a 3-point shot a minute later to restore Florida State's double-digit lead.

The Seminoles hit their first six shots and raced to a 13-2 lead in the opening 4:26 of the game. But David Newman capped a 10-4 Northwestern run with a jumper from the free-throw line with 10:48 remaining to pull the Wildcats within five.

Newman's jumper was the last field goal of the half for the Wildcats, and Mott scored inside with 2:03 left to give Florida State its biggest lead of the first half at 31-15.
