TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Jared McCain set a Duke freshman record with eight 3-pointers and matched a school freshman mark with 35 points as the No. 9 Blue Devils defeated Florida State 76-67 on Saturday.
McCain hit seven 3-pointers in the first half and shot 60% overall (12 for 20), including 8 for 11 from long distance in his seventh game scoring 20 or more points. His point total tied Zion Williamson's 35-point performance against Syracuse in 2019.
"It seems as though every team will have a player, or several players, that are capable of going off for big numbers, against you," Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton said.
