It wasn’t always pretty, but FSU clawed its way to a 74-68 victory over Virginia Tech in the ACC quarterfinals Thursday. The Seminoles dominated the glass and played well defensively but shot 40 percent from the floor and a terrible 3-for-16 from beyond the arc. Jonathan Isaac’s play against Colson will be vital for FSU, as the freshman had 23 points and 10 rebounds when the Seminoles beat the Irish this season compared with just four points and six rebounds when they were defeated by Notre Dame.
