The many faces of Jon Scheyer, as he scored 21 points and four teammates combined to make eight straight free throws in the final 1:34 to beat Florida State 70-57 and snap the unlikely two-game losing streak to the Seminoles.
"For awhile there it looked like there's no way we're going to win it and [then] our kids got tough," Krzyzewski said. "After they had been the weakest they got to be the toughest. I don't know how that works, but it worked tonight."
Duke (14-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) nearly blew a 17-point lead it built in the first half on a 16-0 run led by Scheyer, who had 10 points on a variety of shots in a span of just 1:35.
"We've struggled here in the past, but this is a new team," Scheyer said. "Last year they beat us at home so we had something to prove."
"We got beat by a team that executed and maintained their poise for longer periods than we did," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "They have so many weapons."
Gerald Henderson added 11 points and Singler had 10 for Duke. Henderson's eight rebounds helped the Blue Devils to a 44-32 advantage on the boards.
Duke managed to get the road win despite shooting 43.9 percent and committing 20 turnovers. Florida State shot 35.5 percent.
Interesting side note:
Fla State's Ryan Reid lost his cool with 30 ticks to go and throws a right cross at Paulus who is on the floor hugging the ball and receives a Technical foul, no ejection, no reprimands.. Great officiating! What happens at FSU, stays at FSU..
