GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) – Mike Tobey scored 11 points and No. 3 Virginia held on to beat Florida State 58-44 on Thursday in an Atlantic Coast Conference quarterfinal.

Evan Nolte added 11 points while Malcolm Brodgon scored all 10 of his in the second half for the top-seeded and defending tournament champion Cavaliers (29-2).

They never trailed, led by 17 and shot 47.5 percent in earning a return trip to the semifinals.

They also welcomed back key guard Justin Anderson from injury. Anderson had missed eight games after breaking his finger and then undergoing an appendectomy.

Xavier Rathan-Mayes had 13 points to lead the ninth-seeded Seminoles (17-16). They hit just one field goal during the final 7 minutes and were denied their third semifinal appearance since 2009.
