FSU Basketball: Duke outlasts Noles to win ACC Tournament

No.12 FSU basketball looked to win its first ACC Tournament Title since the 2012 season Saturday night against the No. 5 Duke Blue Devils.

The Noles gave a valiant effort but too many shots missed at close range and Duke pounding the ball inside were too much to overcome.

FSU shot just 32 percent from the floor but were eight of 20 from beyond the arc to keep them in the game for the most part.

Duke shot 49 percent overall but were just two of 14 from long-range. FSU led by as many as eight points with seven minutes remaining in the first half, but the game was tied 36-36 at the half as RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson took over.
