The No. 4 Virginia Cavaliers got the 2019 ACC slate off to a hot start, dominating the No. 9 Florida State Seminoles 65-52. Virginia’s defense was smothering, limiting FSU’s leading scorer — Terance Mann — to no points on 0-for-3 shooting. The game wasn’t even as close as the score indicates as FSU pressed and scored 18 points in the final 2:30 of the game against Virginia’s back up players.
Kyle Guy picked up right where he left off from the Marshall game, going 7-for-11 from the field (5-for-6 from three) for 21 points. He set a new Virginia record with consecutive made threes, blowing the last record out of the water:
Alabama transfer Braxton Key was outstanding, setting a new career high as a Wahoo with 20 points on 7-for-11 shooting (2-for-5 from three).
