This is going to be a big one. Florida State had an early eight-point second half lead against Duke, then the Blue Devils went ahead. The teams jockeyed back-and-forth until the Seminoles suffered a similar fate as Wake Forest against UNC. FSU did not score in the last 3:30 of the game and lost by seven.
The No. 24 Seminoles have a tremendous opportunity against the No. 12 North Carolina Tar Heels tonight. Will they take their frustrations over their conference loss on the Heels, or will Carolina step up to the challenge?
Coach Roy Williams was very unhappy with the effort against Wake Forest last Saturday, and a tough road game against a talented team will test the resiliency and talent of this squad.
