Thinkstock(TALLAHASSEE, Fla.) — Reserve Duke guard Andre Dawkins scored 22 points in Duke’s 74-66 win over Florida State on Thursday night.
Florida State (19-8) which upset Duke (24-4) over a month ago on the road, would not be so fortunate at home: Austin Rivers scored 20 points in the Blue Devils win.
“I’m not going to call it a revenge game but that’s what it is,” Rivers said. “We really just wanted to get a big win here. We’re not thinking about revenge. We’re thinking about how they are tied with us at the top, or they were, us and Carolina.”
With the win, Duke kept pace with North Carolina in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
“We think we beat a really good basketball team tonight,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “They still have a chance to win the regular season or the tournament in Atlanta. They have a chance to win. We do too.”
