What’s heart-stopping to one fanbase can can be downright heartbreaking to another, and that was certainly the case when FSU and Virginia Tech met in an ACC quarterfinal on Thursday afternoon. ACC 4-seed Florida State edged the 5th-seeded Hokies 65-63 in an overtime thriller that included some astounding clutch plays from several Seminoles.
The Seminoles got off to a great start in this one, as Trent Forrest, PJ Savoy, and Devin Vassell all made their first threes, while Tech started ice cold. Both squads played solid defense at the onset, but FSU hitting from outside staked the ’Noles to a 17-4 lead.
