10/7/2025 3:40:00 PM | Men's Basketball

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Head Coach Luke Loucks along with seniors Kobe MaGee and Chauncey Wiggins will represent the Florida State men's basketball program at the annual ACC Tipoff Media event at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown in Charlotte, N.C. on October 8. All three Seminoles will represent the program at the longest running college basketball media outing which began in  1969.

The Seminoles will meet the radio, print, and electronic media, while appearing on the ACC Network with their media sessions beginning at 1:00 p.m.  Florida State will appear in their rotation with Miami, NC State, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Wake Forest.

Watch the Seminoles on the ACC Network at 3:15 (Coach Loucks) and at 4:15 (MaGee and Wiggins) on October 8.

Loucks begins his first season as the Seminoles' head coach as one of four new head coaches in the ACC. He most recently served as an assistant coach with the Sacramento Kings after spending time on staff with the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns.

Loucks' time in the NBA included working with perennial All-Stars Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine. During Loucks' time in Golden State, Durant was twice named NBA Finals MVP and was also a first-team All-NBA selection. Curry earned first-team All-NBA honors three times with Loucks on staff, and Green was named NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2017.

Luke Loucks Fun Fact: Coach Loucks totaled a program record 13 assists in Florida State's victory over North Carolina in the 2012 ACC Tournament Championship – the highest number of assists in an ACC Tournament game by a Seminole player. The Seminoles defeated the Tar Heels, 85-82, in that game to win the first ACC Championship in school history.

MaGee and Wiggins, both newcomers to the Seminoles' roster, will make their first appearances at ACC Media Day.

MaGee was the first commitment of the Luke Loucks' era at Florida State after playing the first three seasons of his collegiate career at Drexel University. He earned Third Team All-Coastal Athletic Association honors during his junior season and is considered to be an outstanding shooter. MaGee shot .481 from the field, .399 from the 3-point line, and .815 from the free throw line during his three seasons at Drexel.

Kobe MaGee Fun Fact: "When I was born in 2003, Kobe Bryant was really popular. My parents heard his name a ton and liked it so they named me Kobe."

Wiggins, who played the first three seasons of his career at Clemson in the ACC, is the most experienced Seminole who has played in 97 career games – including 58 ACC games, five NCAA Tournament games, and one NIT game. He is a proven shooter who has made 85 3-point shots and shot better than 36 percent from beyond the 3-point arc during his 3-year career at Clemson. Wiggins shot a career-high .806 from the free throw line during his third season at Clemson.

Chauncey Wiggins Fun Fact: His mom is in the Hall of Fame at Missouri State University. She was named the Bears' Basketball Player of the Decade (1982-92) for the first 10 seasons Missouri State played as a Division I team. His dad played forward at Wichita State from 1990-93. He earned playing time in 74 games and averaged 8.1 points and 5.4 rebounds. The Shockers were one of the top teams in the Missouri Valley Conference during his collegiate career.

Florida State begins its exhibition season in Birmingham, Ala., at the Ballin in Boutwell event against Alabama on October 16 and will play host to FAMU in a second exhibition game on October 26.

The Seminoles open their regular season against Alcorn State on November 4, 2025 at the Donald L. Tucker Center in Tallahassee.

Season tickets for all 17 Florida State home games, starting at $150 per seat, are available now and can be purchased HERE. Single-game ticket sale dates will be available in October.
