UVa trails FSU at the half
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.— A sloppy, yet entertaining first half of basketball here as Virginia trails Florida State 23-22.
Lots of turnovers so far.
For Virginia, it’s been the same old story. Lots of scoring from Mike Scott and not much from anybody else.
Virginia hit four of its first seven shots to start the game. Sammy Zeglinski set Scott up for two baskets—the first a jumper, the second a wide-open dunk—to give UVa an 8-6 lead.
FSU was aggressive on the glass early, scoring twice on put-back baskets by Xavier Gibson and Bernard James.
After the first television timeout, Virginia began to self-destruct. FSU, which came into the game leading the ACC in steals, forced UVa into turnovers on four straight possessions and took a 13-8 lead after Okaro White hit a 3-pointer with the shot clock winding down and then converted on a slicing layup.
Trailing 17-10, Virginia clawed back into the game via a 7-0 spurt. Joe Harris drilled a 3-pointer and then Scott connected on four straight free throws—the first two coming as a result of a flagrant foul call on Xavier Gibson.
A Malcolm Brogdon drive pulled Virginia to 23-22 at the break.
