TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) --- Isaiah Evans scored a career-high 28 points to lead
No. 6 Duke to a 91-87 victory against Florida State on Saturday.
The sophomore guard shot 6 of 14 from 3-point range, surpassing his career-best
23 points set in the opener against Texas on Nov. 4. Evans' six 3-pointers were
also a career-high.
Cameron Boozer had 17 points and season-bests in assists with nine and steals
with four for Duke (13-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Florida State (7-8, 0-2) battled from start to finish and closed the deficit to
87-85 on Kobe MaGee's 3-pointer with 23 seconds to go. The Seminoles were
forced to foul, and Evans made a pair of free throws with 12 seconds left.
MaGee missed a contested, off-balance 3-pointer with seven seconds to go and
Duke rebounded to secure the win.
Chauncey Wiggins scored 22 points, making 8 of 11 shots and matching his
career-high. The Clemson transfer also had 22 points against Alcorn State on
Nov. 4.
Robert McCray V also scored 22 and had five assists. MaGee finished with 17
points on 6-of-11 shooting.
Duke shot 28 of 53 from the floor and 12 of 27 from 3-point range.
Despite a significant height advantage in the front court, Duke out rebounded
Florida State just 31-24. Caleb Foster and Patrick Ngongba II each had six
rebounds. The Blue Devils turned 10 offensive rebounds into only 11
second-chance points.
Florida State shot 31 of 58 and 14 of 30 from 3-point range. The Seminoles were
averaging 11.4 made 3-pointers coming into Saturday's game.
