Biggest game of the season to date. It's got two game swing in the ACC implications and truthfully, if we want to stay in contention for the ACC, it's not a must win, but close.
I've truly been impressed when watching the Cavs play this year. It might be Coach Bennett's best coaching job to date. Kyle Guy is the closest thing they have to a true super-star - which I don't think I would label him that. They are just as solid of a "team" as there is. Couple that with arguably the best defensive coach and team in college basketball, Virginia has an outstanding basketball team this season. They can absolutely suffocate you into submission on the defensive end (just ask Clemson).
That's what makes this such an interesting matchup to me. Although FSU isn't the defensive team that Virginia is, that matchup was still dubbed as a great offense against a great defense - and we put up 100 in the win. Tomorrow will be equally as interesting, probably more so.
We come in as a -4.5 favorite and are undefeated at home this year. I think we keep it up at home and hand Virginia its first conference loss of the season which will also allow us to continue climbing the national rankings and hopefully put both of our bad road losses to bed (yes, I'm still angry at both of them lol).
Today's game is slated for a 2pm est tip and will be a nationally televised game on CBS.
