A 14-0 run gave Virginia a one-point lead late, but a long three by Michael Snaer gave Florida State the cushion it needed in a 58-55 win on Saturday in Tallahassee.
#16 UVa. (18-4, 5-3 ACC) had two chances in the final minute to tie it, but Joe Harris and Sammy Zeglinski missed three-pointers. A Malcolm Brogdon three with 2.7 seconds left brought the Cavs back within three, and then Snaer missed the front end of a one-and-one.
Mike Scott rebounded the miss, but Virginia was not able to get a shot off at the end.
