Duke wasn’t No. 1 in the country this time, but you’d have never known it by the fervor of the Florida State Seminoles’ postgame celebration.

After scoring 14 points in a 75-70 victory Sunday night against the No. 5 Blue Devils, sophomore forward Anthony Richardson danced at mid-court with hundreds of jubilant FSU fans. The Seminoles, who entered the game at 1-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, celebrated their second victory against Duke in two seasons.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils were undefeated last January when they allowed Florida State to overcome a four-point deficit in the final minute to grab a 77-76 victory.

The Seminoles (11-8, 2-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference) would need no such comeback this time.

With seven players scoring at least seven points and three in double-figures, Florida State led for nearly the entire game and as many as 11 points early in the second half.

“I felt our guys played with poise and confidence, and they tried to be as strong with the ball as they could,” FSU Coach Leonard Hamilton said. “Our guys stayed focused, they were poised, and they played with confidence. As much as I’m happy with this success, I can’t understand why it took the (No. 5) team in the country to bring this out of us. When the dust settles, we’ve still won 11 games.”

Duke (14-3, 4-3) did not go down easy, as Daniel Ewing hit a three-pointer with 10.9 seconds remaining to cut the Seminoles’ lead to 71-70.

But FSU junior guard Tim Pickett, who scored a team-high 15 points, hit two free throws to extend the lead back to three points. And after the Seminoles forced a Duke turnover, sophomore center Adam Waleskowski added a breakaway dunk for the final points.

The Blue Devils struggled offensively throughout the game, hitting on 34.7 percent of their shots, while Florida State had its best shooting game of the year at 60.0 percent.

Capitalizing on the quickness of freshman point guard Todd Galloway (13 points) and Richardson, the Seminoles used a penetrating attack to score numerous baskets in the paint.

“I wanted to go with him (Galloway) because I could feel this was his type of game,” Hamilton said. “He had the potential to get to the basket every time.”

Florida State shut down Duke star Dahntay Jones, who entered the game averaging 17.6 points a game. He scored two points Sunday on 1-of-10 shooting from the field.
