Duke survives at Florida State

In a scary game for the Duke Blue Devils, they were able to come out with a win against a fiesty Florida State team.  Duke had 20+ tournovers in a sloppy game, but down tehe stretch Greg Paulus made some key shots to secure the 70-57 victory for the Blue Devils.

Jon Scheyer once again came off the bench to have a great game for the Blue Devils.  Scheyer had most of the offense for the team and scored 21 points.  The next closest scorer was Gerald Henderson with 12 points, and then Kyle Singler with 10 points.

DeMarcus Nelson had his worst game of the season as he only scored seven points.  There were others to pick up the slack however, and that is what this Duke team is going to have to do through out the year if they want to make a long run in March.

Duke will next play on Saturday night when they will have another tough ACC game against Clemson.  Both teams will be ranked in the top 25, so it is really going to be a battle!  Hopefully the Blue Devils come out to play, and get another ACC Win!  GO BLUE DEVILS!
