The Virginia Cavaliers Men’s basketball team is back in action with a Saturday night matchup in Tallahassee against the Florida State Seminoles. The Seminoles (13-9, 7-4) have been one of the bigger surprises in the ACC this year, playing much better than their preseason expectations. But Virginia (18-5, 9-3) is the hottest team in the conference, winners of seven straight games including three straight on the road.
In 22 head-to-head matchups over the last 14 seasons, Tony Bennett and Leonard Hamilton are dead even against each other with 11 wins each. The winner of this game will be one step closer towards the coveted double-bye in the ACC Tournament, and Florida State desperately needs to keep winning to have any chance of hearing their name called on Selection Sunday.
