A back-and-forth first half saw Virginia Tech ahead 42-39 at halftime, but FSU erupted for a 13-0 run early in the second to take control. They tacked on runs of 10-0 and 11-0 to lead by as many as 26 points down the stretch, outscoring Virginia Tech 53-27 in the second half.
Robert McCray V and Lajae Jones chipped in with 17 points each. Jones grabbed a team-high seven rebounds as the ‘Noles won the battle on the glass, 28-26.
