Florida State will be on the road this year for the ACC/SEC Challenge
Florida State now knows its opponent for the second annual ACC/SEC challenge, as the Seminoles will be traveling to Baton Rouge to take on the LSU Tigers on December 3rd. Both teams are looking to pick up their first win in this challenge after it replaced the ACC/Big 10 challenge.From a distance, these teams are pretty similar. Both teams are coming off 17-16 seasons and missed the NCAA Tournament.
Meanwhile, FSU's roster has undergone major transformations this offseason. They'll be returning Jamir Watkins, who removed his name from the NBA Draft and transfer portal, but lost their next five leading scorers and are replacing that with mostly unknown talent, with three freshmen, a JUCO transfer, and two low major D1 transfers. Taylor Bol Bowen, Waka Mbatch, and Chandler Jackson are the only other holdovers from last season.
FSU assistant coach Kevin Nickelberry spent time at LSU, including as the interim coach following the dismissal of Will Wade in the 2022 season after Wade's paying players scandal. Nickelberry then went on to Georgetown for one season before joining Leonard Hamilton's staff in Tallahassee.
