Most including me would have given the Duke Blue Devils a pass if they’d lost this game against the number 8 team in the nation on short rest. With this teams history of slow starts, it didn’t seem to bode well for the Blue Devils but, well, Duke happened. Goldwire happened, Matthew Hurt happened.
The Blue Devils jumped out to a 10 point lead with 10 minutes left in the first half but 11 Duke turnovers leading to 11 points for FSU allowed the Seminoles to trim the lead to 1 by the end of the first half.
