Robert McCray V set a new school record with 17 assists, while Chauncey Wiggins scored a career-high 22 points in their Florida State debuts, leading the Seminoles to a 108-76 victory over Alcorn State in Luke Loucks' coaching debut Tuesday night in Tallahassee, Fla.
McCray had never reached double-digit assists in his prior stops at Wake Forest and Jacksonville. He accounted for 70.8% of the Seminoles' assists, adding 12 points and committing just two turnovers. The record-breaking assist came with 20 seconds left on a kick-out pass to Jalen Crawford for a 3-pointer.
Wiggins, a Clemson transfer, put forth a balanced scoring effort with 10+ points in each half, hitting three 3-pointers and making all five of his free-throw attempts.
Lajae Jones added 18 points and a game-high seven rebounds. Alex Steen scored 12 points while Cam Miles tallied 10.
Nick Woodard led Alcorn State with 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting, while Tycen McDaniels added 14 and six boards.
The Seminoles did a lot of things quite well in their debut. They had 24 assists to eight turnovers, forced 21 turnovers and shot 55.7% from the floor and 43.3% from 3-point range.
The Braves kept the game from getting totally out of hand by shooting 51% from the floor and 8-for-16 from 3-point range.
After a back-and-forth start, the Seminoles took control with a 16-0 run to take a 30-15 lead with 10:53 left in the first half.
Florida State maintained at least an 11-point lead the rest of the half to take a 58-44 advantage into the break. McCray had eight points and nine assists in 13 first-half minutes before picking up his third foul.
The Seminoles had 14 assists to three turnovers over the opening 20 minutes while Alcorn State was a stellar 7-of-11 3-point shooting (63.6%) in the first half.
After the Braves' opening basket of the second half, Florida State went on a 13-2 run to take a 73-48 lead.
That lead never dropped below 19 points for the rest of the game.
