Virginia will be hosting its final home game of the regular season on Tuesday night against the Florida State Seminoles. This game will also mark the last time Virginia will face off against longtime Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton. The Cavaliers currently have a record of 14-15 while the Seminoles carry a record of 16-13. The game will be televised on the ACC Network with Anish Shroff and Randolph Childress providing commentary.
Florida State has had a tumultuous season, starting strong but faltering in ACC play. Led by leading scorer Jamir Watkins and forward Malique Ewin, the Seminoles boast a deep roster filled with tall, long, and athletic wings. Their aggressive defense, which leads the ACC in turnovers forced, will be a challenge for Virginia’s guards. Virginia, on the other hand, will rely on their shooting and ball movement to overcome Florida State’s defensive pressure.
The matchup holds sentimental value as it will be Leonard Hamilton’s final game coaching against the Cavaliers. Virginia is facing the end of an era with this being their final home game of the season and the potential end of the remnants of Bennett Ball at John Paul Jones Arena. Both teams are tied for 10th place in the ACC standings, making this a crucial game for both teams’ hopes of securing a first-round bye in the conference tournament. This promises to be a tightly contested game with Virginia coming out on top in a close 64-60 victory.
