Final Thoughts:
It is a dominate performance against Seminoles. They were shooting the ball at 50% from the field (54.2 three-point shooting). And they dominated on defense (Forced 13 Cavalier Turnovers) and on the glass (31-26 rebounds).

For the Cavaliers, it looked like the game against UMBC in the NCAA Tournament a couple of years ago. The only difference is that Seminoles are in Virigina's Conference in the ACC. 

With the win, the Seminoles have the same amount of losses as Cavaliers but 3 fewer games. 

Virginia will try and regroup and head to Durham, to play Duke on Saturday. While Florida State has another home game against a ranked conference against Virginia Tech, also on Saturday.
