Florida State Seminoles vs Virginia Tech Hokies Analysis
Florida State Seminoles are coming to the end of a season they would rather forget. While they still have time to make a run in the ACC Tournament, that seems unlikely at 9-21 overall and 7-12 in the conference. A trip to any post season tournaments seems unlikely at this point either. Coming into this game with 8 losses in 10 matches, FSU comes into this one as point favorites to upset 16th ranked Miami 85-84 at home. On Monday night, however, they returned to form as an underdogs against North Carolina and lost 77-67. Shooting just 3 of 15 from three point range – their usual strength (which ranks 42nd nationally) – wasn’t enough as North Carolina pulled away for a victory that seemed lost in the making. Overall, it was an unimpressive performance from the Seminoles.
Virginia Tech Hokies share the same conference record as Florida State at 7-12, but boast a far superior overall record at 17-13. In their last 11 games, they’ve won 6 out of 11, including victories over league heavyweights Duke, Virginia, Pittsburgh and Miami; although they lost to Miami 76-70, Virginia Tech played well nonetheless. On Tuesday they came off an impressive 71-54 victory against league doormat Louisville that covered the spread as 10.5 point favorites despite shooting just 37% from the floor while making 10 threes while turning over 12 times while only committing 5 turnovers themselves. They also had 16 assists.

Florida State Seminoles vs Virginia Tech Hokies Free Pick
Florida State has had a difficult season, especially down the stretch. Yet they managed to pull off an amazing upset against Miami and then make a run against UNC before falling short – showing they can be dangerous when given a chance. With nothing else at stake other than pride, Virginia Tech does have something to play for: an NCAA Tournament berth looks unlikely but they still have a shot at making the postseason so this game should be won at home as expected by the best college basketball betting sites.
