Next up for Duke is a visit to Tallahassee to take on Florida State, a trip that has proven difficult in recent years. It’s roughly equivalent to Clemson, where the Tigers are always capable of pulling an upset.
The Donald L. Tucker Civic Center - at least for big games like Duke and UNC - is a solid homecourt.
Florida State presents another interesting challenge because Leonard Hamilton likes to collect really tall players like Chris Koumadje (7-4) to gum up the inside. He surrounds them with very athletic guys - lots of them - and runs them in and out with alacrity.
