They still take too many threes for my liking, but it\u2019ll likely cost them against a better team when they don\u2019t shoot it well. However, they performed well at the charity stripe, making 23 of 29 and generating 40 points off 28 forced turnovers.<\/p>\n 3\u20e3\u203c\ufe0f#Connected<\/a> | @jhimartin<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RMLquYsobq<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Florida State Men\u2019s Basketball (@FSUHoops) November 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n FSU shot 21 of 33 (63.6 percent) from inside the three-point line. Maybe, just maybe, they don\u2019t need to take 30+ three-pointers in every single game? I like what Loucks is doing overall, but I\u2019d like a bit more diversity in the offense in the event they have an off shooting night.<\/p>\n FSU had 17 turnovers, which is uncharacteristic, and were only +1 overall on the boards. FSU\u2019s defense was the difference in the game, as Cal State shot 39 percent from the field and were only 1 of 10 from the three-point line. They were 16 of 26 from the charity stripe, which we mentioned they didn\u2019t shoot well in the game preview<\/a>. <\/p>\n FSU will host the Texas A&M Aggies on Friday evening at 5 p.m. in the Tucker Center. The game will air on ESPN2.<\/p>\n
