He joins George McCloud, who hit 10 3-pointers in a 1989 game.The Seminoles (4-1) also broke their own ACC record for 3-point attempts they set earlier in the season with 49 on Friday.Now comes a matchup with Cal State Bakersfield (3-3) on Tuesday night in Tallahassee, Fla.In both instances that program records were on the verge of being tied or broken, Loucks and the Florida State bench made the player aware of the milestone he was approaching.Loucks says personal accomplishments are not something he shies away from in the moment.”Records are hard to break. They’re records for a reason,” he said. “… When anyone on the team has a chance to break a record that’s stood (since 1989), we’re going to try to go get it. We’re going to celebrate it.”Florida State is averaging 39 attempts from 3-point range this season, nearly four more than any other Division I team.
