Facing a must-win situation, Florida State (13-8, 4-6) opened the game like a team that looked like they wanted to be anywhere else but playing basketball. And while they battled back for a good chunk of the second half, atrocious first half performance was too much to overcome, resulting in a 76-66 home loss to the Virginia Tech Hokies (9-12, 4-6). The loss was the third in a row for FSU, while this snapped a three-game skid for the visitors from Blacksburg.
First Half:
Florida State, fresh off an 0-2 west coast road trip, opened the game about as poorly as a basketball team can.
