At the time of his injury, Chris Singleton averaged nearly two blocks per game, more than two steals per game, and then there are the intangibles, which are difficult to quantify.

In the 6-9, 220 pound Singleton, Florida State relied upon a player who could guard the perimeter as well as he could the interior. Singleton's versatility often proved his best asset.

"I feel like teammates have got to provide energy," sophomore forward Terrance Shannon said. "I fed off Chris. Once he gets steals and fast breaks and stuff — it gets me pumped. It gets me going. Blocked shots.”

The Seminoles have allowed two opponents to shoot better than 50 percent over the last month.

Chris Singleton's availability for the rest of this season remains uncertain after surgery on his broken right foot.

Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said Monday's surgery was successful and the forward can begin rehabilitation immediately.

Singleton, the Seminoles leading scorer and rebounder, broke his foot on Saturday.
