ESPN delivers prediction for FSU basketball following Florida loss

Florida State men's basketball will look to rebound from its first loss of the 2026-27 season Friday evening to Florida, and ESPN expects the Seminoles to get back in the win column. According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor , Florida State has an 89.3% chance of defeating Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at the Donald L. Tucker Center, leaving the visiting Islanders with just a 10.7% chance of pulling off the upset. The projection comes after Florida State (2-1) suffered an 81-72 defeat to No. 1 Florida on Tuesday night, a game that exposed several areas head coach Luke Loucks hopes to address. Despite keeping the contest competitive, the Seminoles struggled from beyond the arc, connecting on just 4-of-21 three-point attempts. Florida also controlled the rebounding battle 41-29, limiting FSU's ability to capitalize on defensive stops. Sebastian Rancik continued his impressive start to the season with a game-high 23 points, while Anthony Robinson II added 19 points and three assists. Friday's opponent, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (2-1), enters the matchup riding a two-game winning streak following victories over Louisiana and Dallas Christian. The Islanders recently dominated Dallas Christian 102-58, shooting 53.2% from the field while collecting 51 rebounds. Their performance on the glass could

Angela Suggs is newest VP at FAMU, President Marva Johnson says

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University’s Angela Suggs has recently been hired for a new role on campus – an appointment that’s given rise to some concern within the FAMU community. Suggs, who’s been serving as special assistant to FAMU President Marva Johnson and advisor for Intercollegiate Athletics for about a year, has been appointed vice president for Strategic Engagement. “How we tell our story, how we engage stakeholders in events and the quality of our campus experience should meet the same standard of excellence, every time, across the university,” Johnson said in a Nov. 12 letter to university faculty and staff obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat. “To that end, I have established the Office of Strategic Engagement within the Office of the President. Angela Adams Suggs will lead it as Vice President for Strategic Engagement, reporting directly to me.” The Democrat has requested records regarding Suggs' new salary. Her start date was Nov. 12, and she will also continue her current duties of advising Johnson on athletics. Her annual salary has been $250,000 in the special assistant role. "I'm grateful for President Johnson's confidence," Suggs said in a statement to the Democrat. "Florida A&M University is expanding its legacy for

Opinion: FSU Should Learn From Bill Snyder Before Bringing Back Jimbo Fisher

Even one of college football’s most successful coaching reunions illustrates the limitations and risks of trying to recapture past glory. During Jimbo Fisher’s tenure at Florida State University, I admired his consistency against in-state rivals and his ability to find optimal quarterbacks for his offensive scheme. Like Bobby Bowden, Fisher’s background as a player and coach involved several years at my alma mater, Samford University. He was the perfect fit at the perfect time, but that time has long since passed.

Florida races to preserve Black history as erasure threatens legacy

A historical marker unveiled Monday in Florida's capital city honors Lydia G. Smith, a free Black woman who arrived before the Civil War and later opened a school for Black children. But questions remain about whether other trailblazers are given their proper due. It's the 10th marker installed this year by the Tallahassee Historical Society as part of the city's bicentennial projects. Bob Holladay, president of the society, said Smith accomplished much despite the limited opportunities available to Black women at the time. "She accomplished a great deal in a time in which she had a lot of headwinds against her. Leon County was almost the very definition of what historians would call a slave society," Holladay explained. The marker stands on Park Avenue, behind the former St. James Methodist Church, which Smith and her husband helped establish. The building now houses Florida TaxWatch . The Florida Division of Historical Resources supports local partners with the projects but organizers pointed out development, neglect and other factors make it hard to make it a consistent priority. Holladay stressed Smith’s legacy is one of perseverance and change in a small corner of Florida. But as a Black woman living under segregation, even

FSU head coach hot board 2.0

The FSU Seminoles have hired Jeff Purinton as their athletic director, and they have shifted their focus to finding their next head coach. He was the final piece they needed and is set to lead the search, alongside University President Richard McCullough, Board of Trustees Chair Peter Collins, and Daniel Parker of Parker Executive Search. The work can get started in earnest, although Purinton admitted on Tuesday that most of the work will not be public, as coaches are never willing to have conversations with another school during the season. Some of that has already taken place, with one candidate signing an extension and removing his name from the race. The Seminoles will not have a ton of time to make the hire, with the early signing period set to start on Dec. 2, giving them just a few days to get someone in after they end the season against the Florida Gators on Nov. 27 and most teams ending the regular season on Nov. 28. The transfer portal, which will be key for FSU to rebuild its roster, will open on Jan.4. Here is an updated look at the top names to watch as FSU football's head coaching search
