Dwayne Bacon guides Florida State to convincing win over No. 23 Notre Dame

TALLAHASSEE — Dwayne Bacon stepped onto the court hours before Florida State's contest against Notre Dame.

He was there so early that FSU's dance team was practicing its routine for later that afternoon.

The freshman simply focused on his shooting form and forced himself to swish three consecutive shots from one area behind the 3-point line before moving to another spot around the perimeter.

So when Bacon got the ball atop the key a minute into Saturday's game, he launched a 3-pointer without any hesitation. The shot went in. With that, it became clear it was going to be that type of afternoon for Bacon as the Seminoles (17-12, 7-10 ACC) cruised to a 77-56 victory over No.
