Overview
- Florida State fell to 7-11 overall and 0-5 in the ACC after surrendering a late lead at home.
- Wake Forest hit the go-ahead jumper with five seconds left following Robert McCray V’s turnover, and FSU’s final shot missed.
- The Seminoles led by as many as nine in the second half but finished with 16 turnovers that yielded 18 Demon Deacons points.
- FSU dominated the glass 44-28 yet shot 38% from the field and 23% from three, continuing a volatile, perimeter-heavy offensive profile.
- The result underscores Florida State’s defensive slide under Loucks and preserves a needed win for Wake Forest as FSU visits Miami on Jan. 20.
