Florida State @ Virginia

Current Records: Florida State 14-13; Virginia 17-12

What to Know

The Florida State Seminoles' road trip will continue as they head to John Paul Jones Arena at 4 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the Virginia Cavaliers. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Seminoles received a tough blow on Monday as they fell 71-55 to the Boston College Eagles. Florida State's loss came about despite a quality game from guard Cam'Ron Fletcher, who had 16 points along with five rebounds.

Meanwhile, Virginia was close but no cigar on Wednesday as they fell 65-61 to the Duke Blue Devils. Guard Kihei Clark did his best for Virginia, finishing with 25 points (a whopping 41% of their total) and seven assists in addition to six boards.

FSU is expected to lose this next one by 9. Now might not be the best time to take FSU against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past nine consecutive games.

The losses put FSU at 14-13 and the Cavaliers at 17-12. A pair of stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Seminoles enter the matchup with 15.4 takeaways on average, good for 34th best in college basketball. But Virginia ranks 10th in college basketball when it comes to turnovers per game, with only 9.8 on average. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
