Florida State will travel to Durham, North Carolina to take on the Devils on Saturday, looking for a rare win at Cameroon Indoor Stadium, a place they have only won once in the last three decades. <\/p>\n
Date\/Time: 4:00 PM ET, Saturday, January 21, 2012 That win coming back on February 4, 2007, when the Seminoles edged out Duke, which blew a huge early lead, 68-67.<\/p>\n However, this season the No. 6 Blue Devils, who lead the ACC with an overall record of 15-2 including a 3-0 conference record, won’t be ready to hand over their perfect 8-0 record at home this season quite so easily to FSU. <\/p>\n In fact, Florida will likely have to pry it from the Devils’ clutches, something that they possess the weapons to do if they can find some ounce of consistency. <\/p>\n While the Noles’ are 12-6 overall with a 3-1 conference record, most of their wins have come against lesser teams. However, after losing to top ranked teams (13) Connecticut, (9) Michigan State and (17) Florida, they did pull off a huge 31-point win over (8) North Carolina in Tallahassee last Sunday. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The win was due thanks to 12 first half Tar Heels’ turnovers and an inability to keep up with FSU\u2019s 3-point proficiency, which has improved to nearly 35 percent in January. <\/p>\n As for Duke, they are rolling, and arrive in this one with just one loss in its last 10 and are rounding into form with their sights set on a top seed in the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n They are getting production from what seems like every player on the bench, having had a different leading scorer in each of the past four games, including 24 from sixth-man Andrew Dawkins in a 73-66 win over Clemson on Sunday. <\/p>\n That balance will be a nightmare matchup for Florida, which has been slow getting back in transition. <\/p>\n Duke has the speed to cause turnovers in the backcourt and the sharp shooters to make this a blowout. The Blue Devils are shooting an ACC-best 40.2 percent from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n
