Preview: Uva completes your home tonight and competes against Florida State

Preview: Uva completes your home tonight and competes against Florida State

Florida State (16-13, 7-11 ACC) in Virginia (14-15, 7-11 ACC)

9 p.m., Accn

After the regular season is in sight in sight, Uva ends her home, which takes place on Tuesday evening (9 p.m., Accn) from the state of Florida. The UVA officially won an ACC tournament square on Saturday, even though it has lost against Clemson and will now use the last two games of the season to fight for sowing. If the HOOS win on Tuesday, you still have the chance to avoid the first day of the ACC tournament and play in the second round, but this opportunity goes out the window with a defeat against the seminols.

Like UVA, the FSU is enclosed with the ACC tournament, but still has the opportunity to close the season strongly and improve its seeds. The seminols also want to send the retiring trainer Leonard Hamilton with a high level. Hamilton is an ACC major and is the longest coach in the league who has been in Tallahassee since 2003. He led the seminols to two conference titles and eight NCAA tournament appearances, including three sweet sixteen trips and an elite eight.

The last FSU team from Hamilton is entering 16-13 and 7-11 in the ACC game last week of the regular season. The Noles started the season 7: 1, but have been under 500 since then and lost their last three games and four of their last five on Tuesday on Tuesday. However, the brutal Stretch Run time plan of the state of Florida explains its recent fights with its four defeats since February 15 against Duke, Clemson, Louisville and UNC, probably the four best teams in the league.

The numbers

The FSU entered 90th in Kenpom, 12 places in front of UVA last week of the season. The seminols have nationally in offensive efficiency 123 and are strongly dependent on getting into the basket. The state of Florida only makes 31.9 percent of its three pointers, and only a quarter of their points are made three times. The FSU does a good job to get into the line and occupies the 28th place in free throws on a field goal attempt. The FSU achieves 52.9 percent of its two-point field destinations and are below average in the sales rate and the offensive back rash.

Defensive, the FSU is somewhat better and ranks in efficiency at the national level. The seminols are 77. In sales that are forced per property, and 17th in the block rate. While the state is based on Florida to reach the edge by basketball, the opponents have difficulties. The FSU was somewhat vulnerable on the glass and, however, took the 286th place in the offensive back -up rate. The FSU also sends the opponents a lot into the line and evaluates the 302nd place in this category.

The matchups

Jamir Watkins, guard

Despite the fact that the FSU has recently started some losses, its leading goal scorer ends the season strongly. Jamir Watkins scored 21 points in each of the last three games of the FSU, including 21 at Duke on Saturday. For the season, Watkins scored an average of 18.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per competition and was a productive goal scorer. Watkins has over 11 20 points against Rice at the beginning of the season. The 6-foot 7 watch, which started his career at VCU, scored 21 points against Virginia last season.

Malique Ewin, forward

Malique Ewin, the anchor in the FSU front court, is with the Nolen in his first year after playing Ole Miss on Juco level last year. Ewin is second in the team worth 14 points per game and achieved 7.8 rebounds per competition. Ewin, Ewin, missed the game on Saturday with Duke, but Leonard Hamilton said that he would expect Ewin back soon. If he cannot compete against UVA, it is a big blow for the chances of the FSU.

Daquan Davis, guard

Daquan Davis, a 6-foot 1 newcomer from Baltimore, immediately affected the seminols. Davis founded 19 of the 29 games of the FSU and scored 8.8 points per competition, while 2.6 templates per game were organized. Davis had his best route this season in January when he followed an 18-point game against Syracuse with a 10-assist appearance against Miami a few nights later.

The outlook

This is a difficult selection. The state of Florida had a better season than Virginia until mid -January, when they had a defeat against four games, they were together and currently have losers of three in a row. The FSU has only two road victories this season, Miami and Wake Forest. And if Ewin is unable to do the chances of UVA a little more. This game is probably decided in color. The defense of UVA, which has been almost impossible in color in recent years, to have approved 100 times in the last two games, and the FSU causes most of its damage there. If Uva can find a way to cut off the penetration and force the FSU to hit shots to win, the Hoos will probably take it. It is difficult to call between two rather similar teams, but we will go to a large extent with the hoos because they are at home.

The choice

Uva 69
