If Virginia wins at Maryland on Sunday, Florida State will have to face Clemson in an ACC tournament play-in game with the winner meeting Duke.

Georgia Tech (22-8) avenged an 81-65 loss at Florida State on Feb. 3. In that game, Tim Pickett scored 33 points for the Seminoles.

But this time, the Seminoles' leading scorer sprained his right ankle in the first half and scored just 10 points before fouling out with 6:43 left. Florida State made just three baskets the rest of the way.
