The No. 12 Virginia Cavaliers resume their gauntlet schedule as they return to John Paul Jones Arena to face No. 20 Florida State in the Hoos’ ACC home opener. The Seminoles are riding a nine-game winning streak, which includes a win over then-No. 21 Florida, but it hasn’t necessarily been easy.
Down by as many as eight points less than six minutes into the game, Florida State played a too-close-for-comfort game in its last outing, against Wake Forest. Down five points with nine minutes to play in the game, the Seminoles used a 17-0 run to finally break away from the 9-4 Deacons.
