Duke coming in to Tallahassee is always a dog fight and why wouldn’t a top 20 matchup featuring 2 of the best defenses in the ACC be any different. Florida State entered the game with an even record of 1 and 1 in the ACC and the Devils boasting a 2-0 record. Coach K teams have made a habit of losing their number 1 ranking to Leonard Hamilton teams on the road but this young Duke team was looking to change that trend.
The teams trade blows in the first half with the Blue Devils pushing to a 10 point lead before the Seminoles battled back to take a 1 point lead at the half.
