(20) Duke Blue Devils (21-7, 10-5 ACC) defeated the (9) Florida State Seminoles (22-5, 10-4 ACC) 79-66 tonight in Durham, NC.
Pre Game
Duke was the dominant program in the ACC before Notre Dame’s entry into the league. The Blue Devils won three ACC titles from 2010-2013. However, in 2016 the program hit the rocks. The program went 20-12 and missed the NCAAs for the first time since 1994. Even worse, two starters left the program when former ACC Player of the Year Azura Stevens left for UConn and mega recruit Angela Salvadores (#5 overall in 2015) went back to Spain after only a year in Durham.
