Jacari White's big night leads No. 15 Virginia basketball to win at Florida State

Tallahassee, FL — Sophomore guard Jacari White caught fire from beyond the arc and sparked No. 15 Virginia to a dramatic comeback victory at Florida State on Tuesday night. White drilled five 3-pointers, personally accounting for the bulk of the Cavaliers’ long-range production and swinging momentum in a game that appeared to be slipping away.

Trailing for much of the contest on the road, Virginia leaned on White’s perimeter barrage to erase the deficit and seize control down the stretch. Each of his triples came at a critical juncture, quieting a raucous Donald L. Tucker Civic Center crowd and energizing the Cavaliers on both ends of the floor.

The win preserves Virginia’s standing in the national rankings and adds a valuable road victory to its résumé as conference play intensifies. With White leading the charge, the Cavaliers showcased resilience and clutch shot-making that should serve them well in the weeks ahead.
