After being down 10-9 at the end of the first half, Virginia went on a 6-1 run in the second half to earn the victory.

Virginia basketball suffered its second straight home loss on a wild sequence of events, as freshman guard Matthew Cleveland hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Florida State a dramatic 64-63 victory in Charlottesville. The Cavaliers (17-12, 11-8 ACC) led by as many as 11 in the second half, but a furious comeback by the Seminoles (15-13, 8-10 ACC) negated any opportunity for Virginia to bounce back from the loss against Duke on Wednesday. Senior forward Jayden Gardner led all scorers with 21 points, but his efforts simply were not enough to pull out the win in the Cavaliers’ last home game of the season.

The University carries an indisputable level of prestige. It possesses the status of a “public Ivy” and consistently ranks in the top five among public schools in the U.S., coming in fourth for three straight years. It also boasts top ranking graduate programs, earning U.Va. a respectable reputation in all regards. This reputation led me to hear that a degree from the University would take me anywhere I wanted in life long before I even started elementary school. Ever since, I have looked forward to being able to say the coveted line — “I have worn the honors of Honor. I graduated from Virginia.” I essentially placed the University on a fixed pedestal, as many of those around me had done and continue to do. So, when looking back at my experience as a fourth year student, it may seem surprising that I am actually disenchanted with the University. I feel let down and betrayed by a school I was taught to view as an infallible institution capable of making my dreams come true.
