The Fast Break: XRM Goes Off As Noles' Rally Falls Short - Florida State Seminoles Official Athletic Site

 

"Xavier Rathan-Mayes scored 35 points, including a jaw-dropping 30 in the last 4:38, as FSU clawed back from an 18-point deficit before falling, 81-77, at Miami.

 

What happened: With less than five minutes on the clock, the Seminoles (15-14, 7-9 ACC) appeared to be headed for a double-digit defeat. Miami (18-10, 8-7) led 62-47 and had outscored FSU 33-22 after a close first half.

 

Rathan-Mayes then went into superhero mode.

 

It started with a 3-pointer that cut the deficit to 16.

 

Then three straight free throws.

 

Then another 3. And another.

 

In the span of a little more than four minutes, Rathan-Mayes scored 26 straight points for FSU, the last of which came after a four-point play in which he was fouled while banking a trey off the glass.

 

In the process, Miami’s lead had been cut to just three points with 20 seconds to go."

If my memory is correct this kid was the high school teammate of Andrew Wiggins.

Yes at Huntington Prep. I went and watch him play at Boyd Co.

 

Great Bio of him. Here is the part about his father.

 

PERSONAL: Born on April 29, 1994...Xavier son of Marilyn Rathan and Tharon Mayes...Tharon Mayes is considered to be one of the top players in school history and ranks 21st in school history in scoring (1,260 career points) more than 20 years after he completed his career at Florida State...played in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers (1991) and the Los Angeles Clippers (1992) and enjoyed a long professional career in Europe...averaged 16.4 points per game in 77 career games as a Seminole...Xavier has set as one of his goals to break many of his father's records at Florida State during his career...selected Florida State over UConn and Illinois
