By: Gavin Oliver February 14, 2026

A Clemson transfer enjoyed a big game Saturday for one of the Tigers’ upcoming ACC opponents.

Chauncey Wiggins poured in 19 points for Florida State on Saturday afternoon in its 92-69 victory at Virginia Tech, which was coming off a 76-66 win at Clemson on Wednesday.

Against Virginia Tech, Wiggins made seven of his eight shots from the field, including three of his four 3-point attempts. The former Tiger added four rebounds and one assist for the Seminoles.

Wiggins’ 19 points Saturday are four shy of his career high. He scored 23 points in FSU’s win over Stanford on Jan. 31. The 6-foot-10 senior forward entered Saturday’s game against the Hokies averaging 12.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game this season while shooting 43.6 percent from the field across 23 games (21 starts).

After hosting Boston College on Tuesday, Wiggins and the Seminoles will travel to play Clemson at Littlejohn Coliseum on Saturday, Feb. 21 (12 p.m., The CW).

The 20th-ranked Tigers (20-6, 10-3 ACC) — who are coming off a 67-54 loss at No. 4 Duke on Saturday — will play at Wake Forest on Wednesday prior to the matchup against the Seminoles (12-13, 5-7 ACC), who have won four of their last five games.

Before transferring to Florida State, Wiggins played three seasons at Clemson. As a junior for the Tigers last season, Wiggins averaged 8.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He played in all 34 games (26 starts) and averaged 23.6 minutes per contest while shooting 43.8 percent from the field and 36.5 percent from 3-point range.

In 2023-24, Wiggins appeared in all 36 games for Clemson (18 starts) en route to the Elite Eight, averaging 17.7 minutes, 5.4 points and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 44.2 percent from the floor and 34.9 percent from 3.

As a freshman the season prior, the Georgia native played in 27 games and averaged 8.9 minutes per game with 2.4 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.4 assists per contest.
