How To Watch
What to Know
Clemson has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. The Clemson Tigers and the Florida State Seminoles will face off in an ACC battle at 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Donald L. Tucker Center. Clemson has been getting the ball to fall more lately as they’ve increased their point totals each of their last three games.
Clemson fought the good fight in their overtime game against Georgia Tech on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Yellow Jackets by a score of 93-90. Despite running the score up even higher than they did on Saturday (89), Clemson still had to take the loss.
Despite the loss, Clemson had strong showings from PJ Hall, who dropped a double-double on 31 points and 17 rebounds, and Ian Schieffelin, who dropped a double-double on 20 points and 15 rebounds. That’s the first time this season that Hall scored 30 or more points. The team also got some help courtesy of Chase Hunter, who scored 18 points.
Even though they lost, Clemson were smashing the offensive glass and finished the game with 22 offensive rebounds. That’s the most offensive rebounds they’ve managed all season.
Meanwhile, Florida State entered their tilt with Miami with four consecutive wins but they’ll enter their next game with five. The Seminoles walked away with an 84-75 win over the Hurricanes on Wednesday. That’s two games straight that Florida State has won by exactly nine points.
Among those leading the charge was Cameron Corhen, who scored 16 points along with three steals. Another player making a difference was Baba Miller, who scored nine points along with eight rebounds.
The Tigers have traveled a rocky road recently, as they’ve lost four of their last five matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 12-5 record this season. As for the Seminoles, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they’ve won seven of their last eight contests, which provided a massive bump to their 11-6 record this season.
Some high-performance offense is likely on the agenda as both teams are some of the highest scoring teams in the league. Clemson hasn’t had any problem running up the score this season, having averaged 80.9 points per game. However, it’s not like Florida State struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging 77.1 points per game. With both teams so easily able to put up points, the only question left is who can run the score up higher.
Everything came up roses for Clemson against Florida State in their previous matchup back in February of 2023 as the squad secured a 94-54 victory. With Clemson ahead 47-26 at the half, the match was all but over already.

Missing Florida diver found after multi-agency search
A diver who was reported missing near the Fort Pierce Inlet has been found dead, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
The U.S. Coast Guard received a mayday call around 11:30 a.m. June 27 about the missing diver. The Coast Guard then notified the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which deployed four boats to assist in the search, according to a social media post by the Sheriff’s Office. The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office marine unit also responded.
Friends of the missing diver joined the search, departing from Fort Pierce Inlet around 1 p.m.
The search, which included aerial support from the Coast Guard and FWC, focused on an area about six to seven miles north-northeast of the Fort Pierce Inlet, near Avalon State Park.
Around 4:10 p.m., the group of civilian divers entered the water and located the missing diver at the bottom of the ocean in about 55 feet of water. The diver was recovered and pronounced dead.
The body was transported to Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce. The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division is investigating the incident.

Florida is bungling its food assistance money; it could hurt 3 million
The Agrculture Department says the error rate in the SNAP food program for low-income families is high and might trigger a nearly $1 billion penalty.
Florida is not performing well when it comes to managing food assistance money.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released its fiscal year 2025 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payment error rates that measure how accurately states determine who qualifies for SNAP and how much they should receive.
Florida’s error rate for 2025 was 12.97%, which covers both overpayments and underpayments. The national payment error rate for fiscal year 2025 is 10.62%. The 12.97% is more than double the federal threshold of 6% percent that Congress says is acceptable.
The result is the state will have to pay a nearly $1 billion penalty and subsequently could impact the 3 million mostly lower-income Floridians, who rely on that program. Florida is now required to submit a corrective action plan to the USDA detailing a solution.
Florida’s rate is actually down from the 15.1% error rate the year before, it’s still above a 10% threshold that would require Florida and other states to contribute to the program’s future costs. That would come to about $984 million for Florida in the fiscal year that begins in 2028.
Change is part of President Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’
This change is part of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” that focused on finding waste, fraud and abuse in numerous federal programs.
“These payment error rates are further proof that state accountability is severely lacking in SNAP,” U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a statement.
Critics predict huge cost shift to state
The Florida Policy Institute, a nonprofit research and advocacy group, called the change a “massive cost shift” from the federal government to the state.
“Now, unless Florida lawmakers act to raise revenue to preserve SNAP and make up for the loss in federal funds, we will see a cut to SNAP program eligibility or benefits, or cuts in other areas of the state budget,” said Holly Bullard, FPI’s chief strategy and development officer.
The Legislature did approve about $4 million in the new state budget for improved methods of finding errors so the rate will go down further.
The federal bill pushed by Trump also cuts SNAP nationally by about $187 billion over 10 years. In Florida, in the first five months since the bill took effect, participation in SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) has dropped by about 10% statewide — more than 277,000 people.
