Box score:
Florida State (13-11, 7-6) played their second Virginia school of the week, this time a 9 PM tip against Virginia Tech (14-10, 6-7). The game script felt oddly familiar to that of the Hokies’ in-state rivals as VT shot 11-23 from deep and smashed the Seminoles on the glass for 13 offensive rebounds. Offensively, Jamir Watkins carried the load, as usual, dropping 26 points on a hyper-efficient nine shots. However, the guard tandem of Hunter Cattoor and Sean Pedulla combined for 39 points, shooting 5-9 from three to lead Virginia Tech to victory. The game was within one point at the 12-minute mark, but the Seminoles let this one slip away, and VT finished the foul-a-thon with an 83-75 win.
