2026-27 Florida State Men's Basketball Preview

ACC Digital Network host Wes Bryant spoke with Florida State head coach Luke Loucks, guard Anthony Robinson II and forward Sebastian Rancik at the 2026 ACC Basketball Tip-Off about their offseason on and off the court and what FSU fans should expect from the Seminoles this season. Entering his second year at the helm after an 18-15 campaign, Loucks faces a major roster overhaul with only two players returning, including AJ Swinton as he recovers from an ACL tear. Robinson brings defensive tenacity and high-level court vision to the backcourt, while Rancik adds length and floor-spacing ability to the frontcourt as a dynamic stretch big. With an influx of transfers and freshmen, Florida State has the potential to make a significant jump in the ACC standings, but building chemistry will be critical. The Seminoles open the season November 2 against Florida A&M in Tampa before hosting Troy on November 6 and facing in-state rival Florida on November 10 at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center.SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/Oqg3iE The ACC Digital Network (theACCDN) is a project of Raycom Sports, a long-time television producer and partner of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
