The Virginia Cavaliers are off to a brilliant 12-3 start to the 2022-23 NCAA Basketball season, third in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and are on a two-game winning streak. They are coming off a win against the North Carolina Tar Heels (63-58) in their previous outing where Ben Vander Plas and Isaac Mckeenly came off the bench to score 17 and 11 points respectively.
They will now take on the Florida State Seminoles, who are on a disappointing 5-12 start to the season, tenth in the same conference, and faced defeat against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (90-75) in their last outing. Matthew Cleveland and Caleb Mills scored 19 points each but it wasn't enough to seal a win for their team.
The Seminoles will now host this game at the Donald L. Tucker Center, where they will look to end their losing start.
