Florida State vs Virginia Prediction

Florida State has lost seven of its last 10 games and has been getting beat over the head defensively. FSU has allowed has allowed an average of 95 points during its three-game losing streak. Florida State could also be down Ewin, who is one of the few Seminoles who can put the ball in the hoop. Virginia has issues of its own, but nine of its 14 wins have come at home this season. It’s also senior night for Taine Murray and Bryce Walker, so I’m sure the guys will want to send them off with a victory. This is also a chance for Virginia to jump a seed or two in the standings for the ACC Tournament. We’re not being asked to lay much. Give me Virginia at home for a big conference win.
