After a slow start missing their first 9 shots, the Blue Devils picked up the pace and were able to earn a great win in conference against Florida State. The Seminoles really needed a win in order to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive but Duke was able to hold off upset-minded FSU.
The Blue Devils played one of their best overall games on both sides of the ball excelling on offense and defense. FSU, who is normally one of the top defenses in the country, was unable to stop Duke’s offense had a balanced scoring attack with 5 players scoring in double figures.
