The No. 7 Virginia Cavaliers lost in stunning fashion to the No. 16 Florida State Seminoles on Monday night, 81-60, the biggest conference loss for the Hoos since 2017. Florida State’s 45 first-half points were most allowed by Virginia since giving up 48 at Tennessee back in 2013 (did you hear Joe Harris drove his truck over to Tony Bennett’s house?).
Following the loss, head coach Tony Bennett spoke to the media on what they’re taking away from this game and how they’re moving forward.
“There are physical, aggressive teams,” Bennett said, “and somehow when you play those teams, and they’re good, they’re not just physical but how do you, it’s why they are ranked and all that, how do you hang in there and battle and be tough minded.
