White’s Clutch 19 Points Propel No. 15 Virginia to Thrilling Comeback Over Florida State
In a nail-biter down in Tallahassee, Jacari White lit up the scoreboard off the bench, pouring in 19 points—including a clutch dunk with just over a minute remaining—that propelled No. 15 Virginia from behind to topple Florida State 61-58. The Orlando native’s sharpshooting night—hitting five of nine from beyond the arc—sparked a fierce 11-0 finishing run that stretched the Cavaliers’ winning streak to five, showcasing his best ACC performance this season in just 21 minutes of action. Despite some cold shooting from both sides, Virginia’s bench dominance and key rebounds down the stretch made all the difference against an FSU squad led by Lajae Jones, who delivered a double-double of 21 points and 13 boards. It wasn’t pretty, but it was effective—a classic demonstration of grit and persistence on the hardwood.
