Here's your full preview.

Evan Nolte looks to continue playing a larger role in Justin Anderson's absence, as the Hoos take on Florida State in the last of a three-game homestand. If Nolte can contribute on the offensive end, Virginia should start to gain some confidence that they've found a way to carry on the banner without Anderson, for now.

Florida State has been hot from beyond the arc. Though they've only shoot 31% from the three over the course of the season, over the past four games, FSU has shot an average of 48%. The Seminoles won three of those four games, with their only loss being a three point edge to Duke. Virginia will give them the three ball if they want to take it, but it's on FSU to knock them down.
