Duke vs. Florida State Full Game Replay | 2023-24 ACC Men’s Basketball



Duke vs. Florida State Full Game Replay | 2023-24 ACC Men’s Basketball

So we’re just about set to go they’re expecting a sellout today it’s a late arriving crowd here at the tuck but about to get it going we just watching a little bit of the Virginia Victory early a low-scoring game they won at 4947 over Wake Forest and the

Blue Devils now trying to stay ahead of Virginia they got to second with their loss for Virginia earlier this week trying to stay in that second place one win behind Carolina try to feed downstairs to Baba Miller nice feed there by Deontay green but you see the Florida state picking up full Corp

Applying that pressure 94 ft and this is where you can miss Ty Tyrese Proctor the starting point guard for the Blue Devils but Kayla fost are handling it very well in the first possession fosted a freshman in there along with another freshman McCain pass will be tipped and collected

By FSU and jir Watkins watch him today if he has a big day FSU is going to be in it all the way and he will lay that one in and Obi that is Florida State basketball that we’ve known to grow in love when you think about turning

Defense into offense they lead the ACC with over nine steals per game and turn a steel into a bucket on that possession so a quick start for the nolles out in front for zip up top Mitchell Bowski with a touch McCain will launch and swish it in knockdown shooter

Welcome to the tuck here in Tallahassee Florida it’s the seven OLS off to a quick start as Darren Green Jr who makes 38% from three-point land knocks that one back and it’s 63 Florida state has the lead on Duke Duke coming in the number nine team of the country looking

For their 20th win FSU looking for the upset Mitchell went airborne and that one rolled off the iron great job by Deontay green to be able to contest that even though it was a lob that should have been finished off jir Watkins with a misfire there the

Big news coming in today Tyrese Proctor averaging 10 points a game the 65 sophomore guard for the Duke Blue Devils did not make the trip because of a concussion suffered on Monday in the game against Wake Forest they’re going to need a lot of that today from Mark

Mitchell who’s really playing some great basketball and Mark Mitchell confident never even thought about once they were playing off of him just raised up knocked down the jumper foot on the line so he’ll only get two for that one but more important for Mitchell’s confidence that he made jir Watkins 26 points

Terrific against Virginia Tech and a loss this week he’s got it in the corner and that’ll rattle home he can be deadly also at 27 against circus but a great job by Jaylen warley creating an opportunity for Watkins that’s one of the things that Florida State needs is a

Shot creator for Darren Green for Watkins guys who can put the basketball in the hole Jeremy roach 45% from three ducas a team hits 37% beyond the line filipowski downstairs draw the double and he’ll be fouled right along the Baseline that was with 10 seconds on the shot

Clock now Duke looking for their 20th win of the season for Florida State it’s been a very up and down year but the conference at the very top with that Virginia win earlier today and of course North Carolina at the very top it’s getting fun to watch it absolutely is

And Duke trying to keep Pace with North Carolina stay ahead of Virginia but this has always been a tough place for the Blue Devils to have success the last time they were here they lost an overtime game and you can believe that the fans here in the tuck remember that

They’re looking for a similar outcome here today y that was 7978 Duke all time has a big lead in the series as Mitchell will draw the foul they lead 43- 11 they’ won 11 of the last 13 games as we check in with my Mecha yeah Duke and North Carolina

Obviously that was a big time match up but since then North Carolina’s been one and two Duke has won three games in a row and really had a lot of momentum and it could set up a regular season finale between those two teams where the winner

Goes home with a regular season title in the ACCC with both of those teams coming into Saturday with three League losses and myin one of the things as you mentioned that three and 0 those last three wins for the Blue Devils they all have been at home now Duke gets out on

The road for three straight so is there anything that the coach has talked to about earlier that may lead to their mentality being different through these games well they know they’ve had some trouble here in tallah assd Cory two out of the last three games Florida state

Has won and they’ve kind of had their number a little bit so they know they have to have a different attitude especially with Proctor out to get this win down here so Florida State might play 12 guys today John shy and Duke might play six maybe seven well in this

Game I believe John shire’s going to have to go a little deeper into his bench simply because Florida State picks up their pressure then without Proctor you can wear down these guards so I expect to see jayen Blakes who had 17 against Florida State the last time they

Played I expect to see him getting in Off the Bench Ro to penetrate Here Comes McCain little shove off there but he drops it down he is a tough guard that’s a guy that you may want to leave out there for 40 minutes however Jared McCain has really been Duke’s most

Consistent performer when you can take away the first few games of the season over the last 18 games he’s probably been their most consistent guy Jor and it rattles on we were watching him shoot earlier today and in practice nailed everything FSU was doing that in

The game now they’ve made five of their first six well Darren Green came into the game with 356 made three-point field goals so he’s a guy that has traditionally been able to knock it down from Deep yeah he had 21 against Georgia 24 against North Florida he gets rolling he can be lights

Out rolling to the basket up and in for two cam cor the the 610 sophomore last eight games he’s making 81% of his shots they’re all right about there and another nice find from jayen warley who now has two assists early in this game Mitchell on the back down no

Whistle see if they really let them play today filipowski got tangled up along the side well fsu’s got to be delighted with the way they’re shooting it out of the gates absolutely Darren Green Jr from Beyond The Arc filipowski too far back to be able to affect that and then jayen

Warley dropping the dime cam corn with the easy Two the simol here and then we talked about the overtime matchup the last time Florida state was able to beat Duke on this floor coach ham of course has seen his fair share of exciting games as we mentioned 14 consecutive yeah overtime wins for the S

Which is an CAA record which is a joke right I mean how does that happen how does any coach any program win 14 straight overtime games in division one college basketball road to a launch and knocked down to three that’s a confident shot for Jeremy roach over the outstretched hand of the

What would what would he call him 612 Baba Miller who does he does not want to be called a seven-footer so he go he goes by call me 612 junor giving off for Watkins he’s their top score at 15 a game and they just keep making shots that’s seven out

Of eight but too easy for Watkins to get into the painted area of course already knocked down a three ball so you got to honor him from Beyond The Arc but one the acc’s best you got to give him more resistance as we go over to Myra yeah

Leonard Hamilton was just stressing the fundamentals arms outstretch making sure you’re being active as you’re playing these passes trying to deflect passes so he’s been doing it a long time and you can see why he’s had so so much success not pleased with this start well he can’t be pleased with the

Offensive start he has to be Florida State started this game six of seven from the field with no turnovers and OB this is a team that comes in with a negative assisted turnover rate in ACC play a minus two on the season they have eight points in the paint here comes

Filipowski down the lane to draw the foul and a big sophomore who does not mind being referred to as a seven-footer will be headed to the line out of Westtown New York and freshman Jared McCain both had double doubles against wake this week yeah the third in the

Last four games for Jared McCain a a 6’2 guard rebounding the way that he has unbelievable the way he’s been able to get to the glass yeah he’s become Charles Barkley on the glass unbelievable Philip howski at the line 65% I think also one of the most underrated passers in the ACC wouldn’t

You agree absolutely absolutely and especially for a guy that gets the basketball in the post area so much to be able to drop dimes as we look at his 20 and 10 games this season six leads the ACC alongside nor cadir of Miami filipowski has had at least three

Assists in a game 18 19 times in his career and OB as Ryan Young comes in for filipowski you’re talking about a young man who had 20 and 12 against FS last year so I’m sure he was high on The Scouting Report for Florida State this

Week he doesn’t turn in many like that so that was a huge effort it’ll be a whistle here with 1403 to go in the first half Florida State having Dro their last one at blackburg despite 26 from Watkins they’ll shoot about 45% as a team 32% from Three but in reality they’re defense has not been quite up to FSU standards this year oh absolutely not I mean that’s the thing with Leonard Hamilton as he’s talked about really doesn’t have many veterans in the program to be able to teach the younger players as the way

Florida State plays and the culture that has been established here truly over the last 10 to 15 years and having veterans to show the young guys Watkins with a shot clock down to six lost the handle he turns it over to Foster Duke with an opportunity to tie it up on

A three but a foul in the paints will go against the seals seals with eight players scoring five points or more and nobody more than 15 points that’ll go against their top scorer Watkins but Watkins over 17 in the last five games he’s become their go-to guy

As he picks up the foul and one of those guys that Leonard Hamilton is had to trust this season even though he’s in his first year with the semal 610 Jaylen gainy into the game now for Leonard Hamilton young up top for McCain straight away well it’s like a lamp for

Him but that’s just a defensive Mistake by Primo Spears you got to understand Jared McCain at the top of the key even if there is a shooter on that Baseline you got to make sure you stay with the guy who’s shooting over 40% one of the best Shooters in the [Applause] ACC

Watkins kicks for the corner b Bowen in and out he’s a 610 freshman and B Bowen now three of 21 from Beyond the arc on the season oh and speaking of freshman that can shoot it this young man may be the best in the league when you consider

The confidence that he’s playing with right now the Blue Devils on an 80 run M Kane with another one Duke four for their last five from three-point land in the corner Spears Watkins trying to wle free dumps it downstairs blocked by Mitchell in transition here come the

Blue Devils roach oh look away pass for young that’s going to be blocked by Watkins so these two teams attacking each other defensively the officials taking a look and it’ll go the other way 16 jir Watkins not conceding the easy layup goes up top ooh I believe he got

Away with one on that one OB from that angle it looked like it hit the glass first and it does hit the glass first so jir Watkins fortunate that wasn’t a go as Ryan young looks at the officials wondering why he did not get a bucket on that possession well traditionally Florida

State is among the best or the very best shot blocking teams in the country it’s not been true this year he L steals yeah coach ham talked to us about that earlier today with each you know they don’t play with the same size we’re used to playing seeing Florida State play

With either McCain again uh oh yes uhoh another three for the outstanding freshman Jared McCain who is on fire and he’s the biggest reason they have pulled off an 11 nothing run and he’s really the biggest reason for the Resurgence of the Blue Devils they struggled to start ACC play this year

Jared McCain has been the guy that’s grown up right in front of our eyes bo b with a pullup pop got it to go he was actually born in a refugee camp in Egypt and adopted by a family in Vermont a son of parents who fled the second sunin Civil

War 2218 Duke well McCain just wants it and why not when you’re this hot filipowski powering his way and a travel now Jared McCain the story early Jared McCain has grown to love the State of Florida not one not two but three three-point field goals for McCain in a

Row have to be able to handle the pressure and Duke does a great job on this possession as you see when Ryan young catches the basketball under the basket out of the Trap Primo Spears is stuck in between two players at that point you have to recognize who is the better shooter you

Have to take away Jared McCain make him make that extra pass to the corner to Caleb fer who hasn’t shot to basketball as well as McCain has they maybe saves you three points but that’s a layup for Jared McCain at the top of the key McCain 14 points four for four from

Three five for five overall sizzling to begin the game here at Tallahassee for Duke Duke is five out of six beyond the three and look at this OB Duke now in a Zone defensively that’s the lack of respect they have for Florida State shooting they’re going to make someone

Have to make threes because it’s been difficult to get to keep them out of the paint so Watkins has it spin out man it was in the cylinder and Watkins Was Made a three already but this Florida State team shooting only 32% on the year only Darren Green and Tom house shoot over

33% so you’ll give those shots Road slithering inside they it up well short in transition Primo Spears Watkins won’t wait and a foul on the play with 1029 to go and it’s difficult to draw a charge in today’s game however Jaylen Blakes sets up camp in there and just waits for

Jir Watkins to run him over that’s a play where Watkins Watkins has to either pull up or find a way to go around jayen Blakes that was a great call by Roger a often times is difficult to even get that call today’s game so Duke basketball Jaylen Blakes at 6-2 the

Junior if you mention he scored 17 points against Florida State on December the nth of 22 that was in Durham we also talked about Ryan young getting 20 and 12 and a wild one and a 19point Duke Victory which is actually at Cameron indor but both of those reserves have had some

Some of the best moments of their career yeah against FSU both those guys had a big game against Florida State last year and now without Tyrese Proctor they’re going to be called on even more so throughout this game help also Sean Stewart Florida native from the Orlando area now getting

Into the mix I’m sure his dad Yogi’s in stands as the Blue Devils turn it off FS with the pick he’ll go up against the blue shirts and lay it in and he Takes a Tumble into the photo that’s a great finish by Primo Spears getting to the

Basket this a young man who wasn’t available for Florida State early didn’t get eligible until December the 16th but it’s been a double digit score for them since his debut roach to operate finds the lane just too quick Obie when you play against Florida State you have to have guys that can

Just win that individual matchup off the bounce because they’re going to switch everything defensive Jeremy Rose taking advantage of his quickness against Baba Miller on the last possession nickel brury looking inside 65 senior Miller trying to make a move he’ll draw the whistle now back to Roach a moment ago

Asking the 612 Baba Miller to go out and defend Jeremy roach that far from the basket is a tough task but what Florida State normally does with their bigs even when you beat them they’re able to go block that shot that time Rose does a great job getting it high on the glass

Avoiding the rim protector roads tops in the ACC and assist to turnover ratio rarely kicks it over and this will be picked off by Blakes up ahead of the field goes up strong and draws the foul he’ll be at the line for a three-point Play Obie when you have a big game

Against a team you remember it and you play with confidence when you see them again Jaylen Blakes already starting the game with that type of confidence 17 points the last time these two teams got together and he’s a young man that is awesome on the defensive end of the

Floor turning his defense into offense two points and an opportunity for three at the line and he’ll knock down the three-point play 10 out of 11 at the line this season John sire loves Jaylen Blake’s toughness he says he’s the one guy that he knows is going to compete every

Possession when you put him on the floor Miller curling in boy that’s a tough shot off the window yeah especially for a guy that’s 612 you’re talking about being able to move in the mobility for someone that size McCain in the lane and has it stripped and FSU comes away with

It that is part of their defensive DNA lots of steals for the nolles Corin trying to get free and it’s batted away 836 to go in the half and du on top by five Duke averaging about 81 points a game leading the ACC and shooting percentage at

48% green Jr two strong Miller went over the top and commits the foul as he went for the rebound so8 and a half to go and coming up next on ESPN are featured games roll on number six Kansas squaring off against number 25 Oklahoma then it’s number 22 Kentucky and number 13 Auburn

And a Sonic Blockbuster we’ve got a timeout Duke on top 2722 at FSU the nolles looking for an upset today you really can’t overstate the gecko’s influence on culture he’s got cartoons breakfast cereals the best advice goo can help protect your home and what’s it in when I see him helping

People I’m full of Pride and Joy he influenced an entire generation but the shoes the shoes are iconic I’m getting married in these he’s touched So Many Lives I mean just look at us from Cars to home to jewelry it’s easy to Geo [Applause] and back no timeout called there Duke

Opens up a 2922 Advantage at the line FSU with the basketball Primo Spears nibur will line up a long one in and out certainly not a forte of the nolles as Cory mentioned just 32% beyond the three and that’s been a struggle for them this year but more importantly they

Haven’t had guys that really created opportunities and easy shots for others Blakes back to filipowski he’ll attack lost it fast break opportunity Spears getting it for Corin inside and will lay it in great recognition by kin seeing that Mark Mitchell was going to be coming in for the block behind him

Maneuver around and able to get it on the glass quick hands of Florida State causing some problems for Duke Duke has turned it over six times that’s going to be a traveling violation no basket there 7 and 1 half left in the half well Duke got it going offensively Florida State

Trying to fight back with their defense turning it into offense cam corn running the floor getting the good look under the rack opened up a lot of doors for the next generation of African-American coaches throughout college basketball fellas Leonard making history first black assistant coach at the University of

Kentucky he’s about 75 now and we’re chatting with him today and I can’t believe it I mean he’s in such great shape and asked him how do you do that is he still looks like a million bucks as Jackson knocks it to and he said basically clean living for many many

Years he said I’ve always eaten the right things I atat a lot of vegetables I don’t eat a lot of red meat he’s way in front of people you know back in the 70s on that uh he’s a man of great faith as well absolutely that’s you know under

Hamilton so back to my story as Jared McCain oh that’s going to go knocks down his fifth three which is a career high for Jared McCain five three-point field goals in a game has that already with still 6 and 1/2 minutes left to go in the first half but to my story Leonard

Hamilton actually didn’t when he went to be a chemical salesman he didn’t even call into work and tell him he wasn’t going to be there that day he got on the plane flew to Kentucky to meet with Joby Hall and forgot to tell the people he

Only worked one day Obie he went to work on Monday was not there on Tuesday around it out Duke leading at 3226 we talk about Coach ham and his great faith also the owner of a Christian record label jar McCain is on fire here and Tallahassee I believe the

Weather in the State of Florida suits him of course a California Native he must love the climate here he cannot miss Duke 35 UE [Applause] 26 Spears to the Lane with a fall away yes Obie you and I were here two seasons ago when we watched Hunter Couture hit nine threes on this floor Jared McCain already with six and believe me this young man he is looking for another one he will not stop

Shooting well here he’ll take a two off the window and a pretty scoop shot and he has something to say to the crowd who I’m sure has been talking to him about his painted fingernails and one of Jared’s favorite lines I’ve heard him say it time and time again is y’all

Letting a guy with painted fingernails cook y’all out here and I’m sure that’s what he’s thinking and saying to the crowd as he is getting busy here in the tuck Jared McCain knocking down the long distance three getting a home roll and then the pull up off the bounce the step

Back and adding the nice finish off the glass just for good measure anything in the zone McCain 22 points eight for eight everybody else 15 points but he is a oneman show it feels like he absolutely has been that OB I’ve known as young man for quite some time since

He won a peace Jam Championship with Russell Westbrook’s team why not out of Southern California Jackson gets hit while taking the mid-range jumper Chandler Jackson will go to the line for a three-point play and Chandler Jackson getting into the painted area able to finish through the cont

Of Mark Mitchell and a much needed bucket for Florida State as Jared McCain had gotten on quite the roll yeah averaging 13 points a game blew through that really quickly his career high and season High 24 points against queens that was back in December but OB Jared McCain embodies what John

Sire’s looking for he’s told us I want our guys to be copy on the road when you’re a dke you’re going to get every team’s best shot so you have to be as confident off the fake here he goes again that one too strong and he’s hearing it from the

Crowd here at the tuck he’s giving it back to him I tell you what that’s when you know you’ve made an impression that’s the first missed shot for Jared McCain now eight of nine from the field was a perfect eight of eight on the entry gain he can’t get it in transition

Foster again if you’re just tuning in tyres Proctor missing the game with a concussion for Duke so they’re shorthanded there coming up on four minutes to go in the first half Ro to penetrate that’s going to be blocked G got a piece of it Spears on the other end scoots in for

Two a strong response from the seol tanler Jackson getting to the mid-range and now Primo Spears attacking off the bouns being able to score in transition and just like that Florida state has made a four-point game they’re not done in the tuck they’re ready to fight back nation’s longest 23 game winning

Streak broken earlier this week Pittsburgh coming in and getting a win on that floor but Virginia back to his winning ways at home we actually have them Monday big road test for The Who in blackburg as you see Virginia now at 11 and4 Duke trying to keep Pace with with

The whoos and get a win on the road here today however Florida state with a great response after the flurry from Jared McCain early Overlook Virginia at your perel I say under four this has been the McCain show here in the first half scored more points in

The first half than any du player so far this year 22 here’s Mitchell playing the best basketball of his young career shot clocks down to Ford roach got a look at it up it goes with no and a rebound pick by the NS they have the momentum right now they

Absolutely do and they want to keep it going after a great defensive stand on the last possession you want to go to some of your best offense to see if you can get a quality look at the basket remember they doing this without jir Watkins who’s been out with the two

Foul Jackson shot clock in issue now down to six the pull up pop short pop free a scrambled for that ball still free it went right into the Duke bench and it’s going to stay on this end for the seminal now Watkins their top score 15 a

Game coming off 26 in their loss against Virginia Tech was terrific in that game he had four assists three blocks as well but in foul trouble three minutes to go so again for a to five or six minutes it looked like Duke was going to get a

Big lead but back came the seals and Duke without a point in the last 2 minutes and 16 seconds and showing a lot of maturity for the seol whenever you see someone get going the way they’ve watched Jared McCain six of seven from Beyond a three-point Arc here in this first half

Often times teams can p but the simol have had no quit in boy quick cross over there by Primo Spears battle for the rebound and it’ll be Duke ball Taylor ball ball thought he got hit on the play they are letting him roll been plenty physical here in the

First half Jaylen Blakes back into the game giving Jeremy Ro a break Jared McCain thought he was coming in for him John shy looking as h no buddy you’re not coming off the floor you stay out there this could be one where we can see Jared McCain play the entire game and

You’re that hot you definitely don’t want to go sit in that’s for sure one of the Great Performances perhap we’ve seen all season long and that’s a really difficult shot by Foster in heavy traffic yes strong take by Caleb Foster great size for a point guard is able to

Finish amongst the trees using a strong body Fu a deep bench as mentioned they’ve got 22 points out of it in the first half that’s impressive B bone tried to make a move Mitchell cut him great job defensively by Mark Mitchell keeping B bone out of the paint

Five to shoot Primo Spears that missed ugly and it’s Tapped Out by the nolles and Duke by six under two and after the flurry of scoring we saw from both teams now we’ve come to a much slower Pace each team doing a better job forcing the opponent to get later into

That shot clock to try to find a shot and they haven’t been quality looks for either team as of late Neu just two and five in their left seven in the ACC is McCain on the spin nice dish filipowski will get it in Great play by jar McCain

Recognizing he was going to have 10 defensive eyes on him the easy drop off to filipowski who gets the easy Bucket Jackson off for green Jr follows his own Miss they’ll get a second opportunity filipowski tipped it it’s going to be saved to B Bowen round the horn they go for green

Jr up against Mitchell to spin that won’t fall b ball big rebound cradles that three men around him and a third opportunity great job by bo b and crashing the glass John sire felt as though that ball should have been back to Duke as though they stepped on the

Baseline Primo on the move and draws the foul as he hits the deck 63 junor from Hartford Connecticut with 54 seconds to play in the half UFC 298 tonight highlighted by the featherweight title Main Event Alexander volkanovski defends his title against Ilia tooi check me on that one the main card

Begins at 10:00 Eastern 7 Pacific on pay-per-view at the prelims at 8 Eastern five Pacific on ESPN and ESPN Deportes one thing I will not be doing is checking you on I am a firm believer if the notorious do o says it I’m rolling with it and by

The way you said someone’s name was Alexander I’m rooting for him in that battle this evening so it’ll be Spears at the line at 76% is second to strong Spears as we mentioned earlier becoming eligible December the 16th immediately had a double figure game coming off the bench for Florida State

And he provides a scoring punch for them with their [Applause] reserves Foster looking for an opening can’t stick it Florida State looking to creep a little closer under 30 to go in the half and Spears will set it up first slowdown we’ve had in the first 20

Minutes these two teams have really been getting after it yeah Florida State doesn’t want to give Duke much time on the offensive end for the last possession of this game Spears tried to Dish into the lane picked off by Duke nice give here for McCain McCain stepping back throws

Another triple incredible first half for Jared McCain oh and he’s having a conversation with some to watch a basketball player in that zone like that every time down he wants the ball and he’s going to score every time and he has the mentality OB he’s not going to

Let his foot off the pedal because he had so much success in the first half he will be looking for another 25 if they give him the opportunities here in this second half Mitchell will start the second half first shot is off the glass Florida State down

10 and a long one coming is Switched in by Darren Green Jr he can do it too he’s capable of some big scoring performances he absolutely is capable and I’m sure that that’s not what John Shire wanted to see defensively from his team on the first possession because he knows Darren

Can green get back really quick philas give it a quick answer on the other end talking about Darren Green Jr comes in averaging 12 points a game Miller can’t connect green Jor as an Uncle David who’s actually a quarterback at Duke in the mid90s on cut and a big deflection

That’s the second time we’ve seen Watkins go up top and deny an opportunity for the Blue Devils rley going in strong and a blocking foul as roach hits the deck as well back to the rejection on the other end this is one Caleb Foster would love to have

Back you cannot go that nonch lot when you’ve got an athlete like Watkins on the other side he comes over and cleanly rubs that one on the glass getting Florida State out into transition and allowing J warley to get to the free throw line warley 67 JR out of

Philly and runs the point he’s seven points a game OB often times royy not enough of a scoring threat on the floor however had 23 points against Louisville and has only had 14 combined points in the three games after that so good to see him being a little more aggressive to start

The second half also at 19 in their early season upside of top 20 Colorado you think easily their best win of the Year oh absolutely but I can tell you right now they want this one this is the one they’re trying to get on their resume anytime you get du to come into

Your home you want to walk away with a [Applause] statement loster tried to get that pass off to Mitchell deflected out by warley great job by warley getting around Mark Mitchell getting the deflection unable to come away with the steel however disrupting the offensive Rhythm of the blue

D so McCain will check it in the Freshman out of Sacramento California now a kick ball resetting shot clock to 20 and roach will set it up now for John sh’s offense oh and attended for him going to say it was tipped and out of bounds off FSU I’ll tell you what fortunately because Kane came off clean on that possession and he’s the last guy

You want to see getting a wide open look for those supporting the simol here in this building Foster on the drive roach gets a look and sticks it great Poise by Jeremy roach recognizing the shot clock knowing he had more than enough time to be able to get to a spot in the

Mid-range and knock down the jumper roach with seven at the top of the broadcast we were talking about tyres Proctor the 65 sophomore for Duke and he did not make the trip because of a concussion that he suffered in their victory over Wake Forest on Monday at Cameron

Indorf so the Blue Devils playing short Bley slick move the tip is up and in but by Bley getting into the painted area even though he didn’t make the shot he opened things up for Cameron corn to be able to come in and get those Second Chance

Points Foster wants to get off a shot High arching shot that goes down great job by Kayla Foster getting to a spot but also re recognizing the outstretch and of Baba Miller he was going to have to change the trajectory on that shot it’s the bottom of the net Waton stumbling a

Bit talking about stumbling foul here in the lane 1656 to go kanaine going down and he is up gising a little bit Yeah McCain looking though his his ankle got mixed up in that one as Baba Miller falls down on him and Baba Miller going to get that

Foul who guys as well as Caleb Foster and Mark Mitchell all very familiar with each other had all four of these guys at the Nike Academy in Portland this summer so played a lot of pickup I’m sure there’s some conversation going on with bab on the other side Baba biller

611 listed at 611 listed as 6 11 Mitchell Mitchell driveing on it swatted and a whistle and a foul that was with just seven on the shot clock the foul against Florida State but if you’re Duke right now you want to drive everything in the direction of Jared McCain because

There’s no way possible Florida state is going to help off of McCain so you’re going to have a driving angle when you try to get downhill on his side you’re going to have opportunities to play one on one because they’re not going to help off zero in blue four fouls on Baba

Miller as Mitchell misses the front End so still to come we’ve got Kansas number six and number 25 Oklahoma at 4:00 then Auburn and Kentucky two teams in the top 25 had six: coming up on ESPN I think Aran should be ranked higher than that myself I tell you what they’ve got an opportunity to go higher

And after what they did to number 11 South Carolina earlier this week beating them by 40 in the jungle if they’re able to come away from the jungle again this evening with they win over Kentucky I believe they will absolutely be higher most likely in the top 10 offensive foul

On roach by the way Duke by nine FSU with the ball let’s see if jir Watkins gets rolling here in the second half over the top pass it’s going to be stuffed in by K Corin great job by jir Watkins drawing the defense and throwing it up to where

Only his teammate can finish it [Applause] off Duke on the road for the first time since the 3D of February Foster and bat it out Jaylen Worley playing some defense here in the second half and jir Watkins providing some playmaking here in the second half getting downhill tossing it

Up Cameron K with the strong twoand finish as Caitlyn Clark she did it this week she broke the all-time scoring record in women’s college basketball and so appropriately with a three-pointer at home and she said you guys knew I was going to go with a logo three for the

Record right I mean of course Caitlyn Clark spectacular the most notable athlete in college athletics today I don’t care what sport what gender she he is the star became the scoring leader with 3569 points had 49 points in the win by the way Watcher launching can’t hit it

Mitchell grabbing the board had it knocked out of his hands and warley right there warley having a very impactful second half for the seals and that’s going to go the other way 1537 to go and Florida State’s done a great job of not turning the basketball over only five turnovers to

This point but an opportunity for them to cut into this lead and give the opportunity a way without getting a quality look on the offensive end McCain so far quiet in the second half 25 points in the game though drives and kicks roach roach with a 17-footer

No filipowski going for the rebound and knocked out of play by FSU that’s one of the things for Duke when you’re talking about McCain is had a quiet second half which he has but that’s by Design from Florida State but now what do you do when you actually throw the ball into

The post to the preseason ACC play of the year no double teaming at this point anymore so KY filipowski should be eating here in this second half over the top to the big [Applause] fella McCain an electrifying first 20 PS up and didn’t hit the shot but he’ll be

At the line John Shire thinking along the same lines he’s pointing did KY filipowski get in the paint had Jaylen warley guarding him he wants filipowski posting strong McCain had some nice scoring games at 23 against Carolina 21 against Clemson I think as impressive as anything for the Freshman he came into

The game with only 24 turnovers Cory in his first 24 college games well he’s a very high IQ basketball player Chris car well says in the six years that he’s been back at Duke as an assistant coach Jared McCain is the hardest working guy that he’s had throughout that stretch

You go you think back the last six years Duke has had some studs some Zion RJ you got some big time names but he said Jared McCain is absolutely the hardest working guy that they’ve had Watkins swings the pass on the spin War Le too strong he came with a board that’s what

He’s been doing as well as anything yeah and didn’t have any rebounds in the first half so now he’s getting back to what he’s been doing as you mentioned as of [Applause] late turned over as we go to Myron yeah Jared McCain John sh said can really

Take hard coaching I was talking to players before the game coaches before the game and they said listen he’s like a glue guy it kind of reminds you of the players you see in the Miami Heat culture just will do anything you ask of them that’s who Jared McCaine is for this Duke

Team he’s a guy IR that’s about winning has a gold medal with USA Basketball ball he’s a young man that understands what’s necessary to win you see right there getting into the passing Lane coming up with the steel and again he’s not thinking about his own but of course

When you got a guy that’s on a heater like that they’re going to hunt shots Bowen hunting for him and deflected it got the block it’ll stay right here for Duke Crow didn’t like [Applause] that 5143 the Blue Devils And just over 14 minutes to play in this contest at [Applause] Tallahassee filipowski a high post likes that move and overcame another big in jayen gain this it looks like Florida State of like the previous 10 years lots of block shots absolutely coach ham talk to us about their lack of Rim protection but that’s one of the areas that jayen Gandy

Can provide the ivy league Defensive Player of the Year in 2019 where he led the Ivy and blocks out Bowski well short that was with a shot clock winding down look at the size for FSU they’ve had bigger teams but 611 610 610 610 610 those numbers

Are normally over 7t when we look at a Florida State roster that’s you know what we’ve seen from Leonard Hamilton that Sean Stewart does a great job defensively coming up with the steal Ro up ahead filipowski to slam it giv Sean Stewart a lot of credit getting out 40 ft from the

Basket and coming up with the steel getting on the floor to maintain possession for his team and Duke back in front by 10 again that was their lead at the break Watkins green Jor trying to heat up McCain sticking with him can’t drop it down warley with the rebound couldn’t

Finish it and now McCain in the open floor a long log around and out Watkins quickly in transition no basket there they wav that off he was foued before it for that shot 136 to go Sean Stewart getting out doing a great job defensively and as he goes

Down the presence of mine to find Jeremy roach whose head is up looking for Kyle filipowski the easy finish on the other end to extend the l lead to 10 for Duke here on the Road seols get it in looking for a quick strike but air mailed by Watkins and Watkins who got off such a great start OB after getting those two fouls sat for a long time he’s been quiet offensively as well Duke on the other hand just one out of

Eight they last eight shots just one make here’s McCain [Applause] again Blakes will back it to the logo [Applause] Bowski doubled up it’s spits free Watkin will drive and lay it in and a foul two such a smart play by Watkins talking with Steve Smith the assistant coach for Florida State

Earlier he talked about how high of a basketball IQ jir Watkins has and you see it here just getting his body In Harm’s Way shielding off Kyle filipowski to get the contact the bucket opportunity for the n one Watkins came in with 10 consecutive double figure scoring

Games one thing about Duke today they’ve been turning the ball over as you mentioned 11 times averaging n and 1 half turnovers a game coming into play today that’s what Florida state does Florida State averages n and a half steals per game so something had to give and right now it’s

Been Florida State turning that defense into off offense 14 points off turnovers so staying connected Kane has it poked away once again it’s warley full ball over the top and a slam by Corin and that’s another two points off turnovers great job defensively by the simol to make it a six-point game

And now the crowd here at the tuck is back in it B bone will commit the foul on driving filipowski tell you what Jaylen War and here in the second half warley has been the man defensively yeah warley doing a great job getting his hand in and then

Taylor bow B Bowen being able to handle it and throw it up to cam K who’s having a very efficient shooting afternoon today K five of six from the field for 10 points for him well Duke right behind North Carolina half game back in the standings coming into play today in the ACC

Virginia won a big one today as they held off Wake Forest to win by Two so the top of the conference really interesting here as we get ready to go down the [Applause] stretch [Applause] Mitchell here’s young back In roach with 10 to shoot roach will drive it amongst the trees Young retrieved it it’s batted free and it’ll stay with the Duke Blue Devils three to get off his shot 1136 to go here in the second half here inside the tuck at Tallahassee Dave O’Brien and Cory Alexander with us

As we follow McCain’s progress first half the youngster at 25 one point so far in the second half well Florida State’s done a much better job of staying connected with him not helping off with Jared Mccain not giving him those easy looks he hasn’t tried to

Force it however he’s had a number of other guys step up but right now Duke cannot shake the simol if they made a six-point game because of the 12 turnovers that they forced from the blue Dev so career high 26 7 threes closing in on a Record that P you a big advantage in the paintt that had it knock free no but you can see the defensive intensy of the semal has picked up significantly here in this second half roach three to get off the shot off the front of the iron leges following his own Miss as he

Went spinning to the deck tied up possession arrow will take it to the other end of the floor there’s that competitor that John Shire talks about jayen blanks getting involved and even though Duke does not get possession from that they changed the possession arrow so they would get the next

One and Blakes with the offensive rebound off the Jeremy roach Miss is able to get over there and allow the Blue Devils to get their defense set so there’s not a transition opportunity for Florida [Applause] State warley back up top for Corin and a turnover with exactly 11 minutes left but another careless turnover for Florida State there was nothing Duke did to force that turnover just a simple pass and catch the win a around young upet the screen oh you can see him lock eyes

There with McCain to try to get in the ball Mitchell strong following his own Miss sticks that one in but great recognition by Mark Mitchell seeing that the W the middle of the floor is wide open he just has one Defender to be able

To beat was able to do that and get a shot on the glass then the second jump to finish it off Chandler Jackson in the sophomore from [Applause] Memphis now the curl Watkins drops it two got a little extra curricular going on right now Darren Green Jr Jared

McCain getting mixed up a bit Darren Green was fortunate to be able to get away with not getting call for an offensive foul in that possession both guys looking at the officials Kane finding an opening now three shirts around him forc it up there and reaches in and commits a

Foul but it’s getting chippy after that possession green putting the ball in the chest of McCain and you see green right there fortunate that was not called as an offensive foul officials are going to head over to the monitor here we’ll take the break 957 remaining here in Tallahassee having health insurance

McCain just went to the line for Duke and hit two technical foul shots here’s what they call well you see after the play now Jared McCain who is unable to get the shot to go here fouls Darren Green but after the play The Whistle blown Darren Green turns and sticks the

Basketball into Jared McCain’s chest which gets him a dead ball technical foul two free throws which were made by Jared McCain and now possession for the Blue Devils allowing them to possibly make this a double digit game filipowski with the touch going strong follows his Miss

That’s blocked High out of the sky by Watkin long one hit by Guess Who McCain absolutely drilled it Stone Cold killer OB Five Points on that possession for Jared McCain after getting a foul on the other end we told you it was getting chippy between he and Darren Green Jr

And the battle has been won by McCain so Duke’s alltime record by a player is nine three-point makes Shane Bader there he’s got one for with the D JJ reck did an an 05 McCain now with eight so closing in on that record for Duke he shattering all sorts of Records

In this one thing we’ve got to be careful of with the match up between these two guys with green and McCain cooler heads have to Prevail because they’ve both been dishing it [Applause] out and that’s going to be against Duke as green Junior went sprawling to the

Deck he’s drawing with Philip but here’s the thing Darren Green Jr already with one technical foul he went back and had something to say to Philip palski he’s fortunate as the officials now I believe are going to go back and look at this no they’re not going to they’re

Going to play on Darren Green very fortunate that they did not go back to look at this one it’s going to be interesting to see if Leonard Hamilton leaves Darren Green Jr in the game or if he gets him out to allow him to cool down for a

Second warley nice dish and a whistle and a foul against the Blue Devils as gainy took the hit King gainy just 11 for 24 at the foul line so a real problem for the 61 grad 36 to go Ryan young to check back in now for John shy Baba Miller also at the

Table and he’s going to get Darren Green Jr I think that’s a great substitution by Leonard Hamilton to get Daren green a break and allow him to cool down a little bit he’s fortunate that they did not go back and look at that last one because he actually after getting fouled

Which was a great call went back over to filipowski with something to say and Darren Green very important to this Florida State team they need to make sure he stays in this game his second League score at 12 game and very dangerous outside the three-point line

Baba Miller also back in now for Leonard Hamilton he’s playing with four fouls eight-point game Duke K in trouble shaking the seminal to this point roach off the dribble Mitchell Nifty fake slapped away roach picked up the loose ball ball and hits it just a veteran play by Jeremy roach sticking his

Nose in the middle of all the big bodies and being able to come up in the presence of mine and Poise to see the shot clock and get a easy bucket so it’s back up to 10 for Duke long one coming and knocked down by Jackson big bucket for Chandler

Jackson as Jared McCain slows it down does not force an opportunity on that one that was a huge response from Chandler Jackson on the offensive end Kane with 31 they’ll step back that one won’t drop in Watkins wants to push the Tempo Jackson just h a long triple a moment ago Miller tried to feed the big underneath warley will kick here’s Jackson again but too strong and over the top of the backboard it’ll be Duke ball so we’ll break with 7 minutes and 14 seconds to go still a ball game Duke 62 FSU

55 $100 per chance for kids against cancer and the V Foundation tremendous events for our great friend dick vital and that Kentucky at Auburn game is a Dicky B special we can see him in the jungle at Auburn right now being carried Through the Jungle so Dicky V get well soon our

Guy and you know he’d be loving every minute of it Foster at midcourt for Duke on top [Applause] 6255 young looking for someone to make a cut McCain 31 points leaning in doors still open here for the seals on their home floor FL yeah right now Florida State needs to make sure they

Get quality looks on the offensive end to flor this where Baba Miller at 611 so he’s listed has to be a factor went for the dunk especially when he’s got a guard trying to defend him in the post that basketball has to go to Miller to

Allow him to be able to go to work with Jared McCain defending G had it knocked out of his hands so couldn’t finish the lob Caleb Foster looking to operate on the crossover the jumpers second chance it came to McCain he’s dra a lot of booze here but he

Knows how to quiet them too he absolutely does he has become Public Enemy Number One here in Donald Tucker Center however OB this will probably be the only time he ever plays here I’m not sure they’ll have a chance to do that again 33 points here today putting on a

Show two points away from the Duke freshman record Another alley of attemp and the stop that time it was big baba Miller to slam it and that’s something that’s been available for the simal throughout this game when they’re able to get into the painted area just throw it up allow

Their athletes to go to work speaking of going to work McCain again try to get the pass free and gave it away and anytime he doesn’t do something like nail a three from like 24 fet the fans are all over him here and that is what you call respect anytime you make a

Mistake they notice because he hasn’t made many here this afternoon sure hasn’t he has been Sensational warley will take his time now to drive it Miller and picked off by McCain he read that beautifully five minutes to go at Tallahassee and a timeout Duke will take one here and on top 64-

57 so down the stretch we come here at the Tuck the sidelines I’m just going to put that out there now I hear [Applause] you and you hear McCain getting booted every turn and he loves it Obi on the drive off the window no fre in the corner FSU comes away and that’s just a mistake by Corin

Trying to throw the basketball off of a Duke Defender and we mentioned jayen Blakes on the last possession when he got the tie ball changes the possession arrow so the Blue Devils will keep this one that was a wild sequence yeah Corin just unable to do anything with it

Couldn’t get it to one of his teammates made the mistake of trying to throw it off of a Duke Defender think sometimes young players become infatuated with that play instead of looking for someone who’s open but it also has to be done at the right angle because you want it to

Go out of bounds you don’t want it to stay in play that one stays in play and gets the basketball back to the [Applause] opponent knocked out by warley Duke will keep it here 4 39 Kane bounces for [Applause] young Darren Green back on the floor for the simol he’s a guy that Florida State needs to try to get going on the offensive end as well shot clock down to seven Ro sees it fires hits it a three-pointer and a big

One it’s not just Jared McCain J Jeremy roach has it too he’s got that ability to get hot quickly big bucket to stretch the lead back to double figures 45% from the three picked off by McCain McCain trying to feed roach and tossed it away and Jeremy roach just looks and

Smiles because McCain was expecting roach to stop at the three-point line roach was going in for the layup ends up being a turnover but how about Jared Mccain not only doing it offensively that’s the second time we’ve seen him come up with a huge steal on that end of the

Floor Duke got back up by 10 here that’s the lead they had at halftime Watkins with a pull up six it Watkins he’s been in foul trouble today and has not been on his game but 13 points to the 67 Junior that’s a tough bucket by Watkins to be

Able to get it back to an eight-point game highly contested shot but he was able to make it good in the middle of the pain oh Here Comes The Bread Guy don’t you to win when you’re giving the basketball away it’s honestly fortunate for Coach ham in this group that they

Have a winning record in ACC play with those type of numbers seven and Six coming in in the league pressure again from the Nos and now they’ll back it away tyres brocker a concussion did not make the trip for Duke Foster at the point unfortunately for Florida State

Jared McCain did make the trip 33 points in a sensation ly trying to add on to that right now the floer for two and that 35 now ties Zan Williamson for the Duke record and point scored in a game but with 305 remaining he may not be done yet OB

Back to a 10-point Advantage Hiller takes a stumble and it’s going to be a blocking foul on Caleb Foster so a closer look Duke freshman 35 points tying Williamson and a great chance to have it all to himself in the next few seconds B by Miller only 49% at the strike

And drops in the first [Applause] one grew up in Spain and grew 9 Ines between the ages of 14 and 18 extremely talented that’s the reason why he still has the guard ability because he was a guard until that 9 in growth spurt by Baba Miller Florida State would love if he

Were more aggressive both defensively and [Applause] offensively Foster nice pass Mitchell with the dunk I’m not sure why Baba Miller went out to trap Caleb Foster at half court leaving Mitchell wide open under the basket if you’re going to try to get the basketball out of someone’s hand Caleb Foster isn’t necessarily the

Guy you want to do that when Jared McCain has it Jun will give it up Jamir Watkins got Philipi on him pass somehow did get to warley he’ll lay it up an in Jeremy Roose got a hand on that basketball fortunately for warley he was able to finish it

Off 215 left the Caleb Foster as you see Baba Miller coming out Caleb Foster already has an advantage over cam corn but when you leave a guy wide open under the basket Caleb fost are way too good to give him that is about as easy as going to get in the ACC

Game and Tuesday we have a men’s basketball double header for you on acc Network and the ESPN app Florida state will be hosting Boston College right here in Tallahassee and then Pittsburgh squaring off against Wake Forest coverage beginning at 7:00 eastern time both wake and pit trying to play their

Way into that NCAA tournament field yeah that is a huge game on Wednesday night to be able to see those two teams going at it pit coming off a win at Virginia earlier in the week Wake Forest losing at Virginia this afternoon but you see Pittsburgh at 7 to six in the standings

Weit at wake at 8 and six one of those teams could represent the ACC in the NCAA tournament but they’re going to have to absolutely get hot down the stretch we saw Wake Forest the other night falling at Cameron Indoor but we see a lot of college basketball to me

They passed the eye test Right Down the Line I agree with you wholeheartedly but one of the things that the NCAA has taken away this year as far as the committee is concerned they don’t take into consideration the last 10 games anymore I think that’s a huge mistake by

The committee because what you want is teams that are playing their best at the end of the year that makes a better NCAA tournament not judging teams based upon what they did in November and December let’s look at what they did in February and March one part of the pie is quad

One wins they don’t have any yet as we approach the two-minute Mark 7163 [Applause] Duke Foster doing a really good job controlling the basketball here when the Blue [Applause] Devils have the Rock and we’re under two and he’ll draw a [Applause] foul Bourne will pick up foul number two not shooting yet so it’ll be McCain to check it in from the scores table [Applause] area roach warley guarding him they’ve got 10 to shoot

It roach on the drive and it’s going to be a palming violation and Duke had that set up perfectly roach attacking to the right side was supposed to deliver Del a strike to KY filipowski outside the three-point line who was open and would have got a good look unfortunately for

Roose mishandling the basketball however it is a dead ball turnover which allows Duke to get their defense [Applause] set green Jr way down to the lowski one and done for the seals Mitch and they break the pressure you take that layup if you’re Caleb Foster you bring it back out and it ends

Up being what close to a turnover fortunate to be able to get it back but had a wide open layup that he didn’t take advantage of foul 11 to go and some of the Florida State fans beginning to move to the exits here I believe that’s what Kyle

Filipowski was telling Foster hey you get an easy one like that with a minute and 11 seconds left you go take that force them to be able to come over and block it at The Rim but an easy two points goes a long way forcing it to a

10-point game the junior roach at the line 87% shooter there Jeremy the 68th player in Duke history to score 1,000 points Coach T had a lot of them yeah best season of his career at Duke he has truly shown up as a leader for this team

This year and as hot as Jared McCain has been Jeremy Rose has stepped up and made a number of big buckets here on the road Watkins has to hustle Miller ugly shot Mitchell with the rebound and another stoppage and another whistle with 57.9 on the clock and Duke trying to Salt this one

Away at the foul line and pick up a big win in the ACC on the road they had not traveled away from Cameron indoors since February 3rd but now in a stretch of three straight on the road for the Blue Devils so if John Shire and his team are

Able to hold on for this remaining 57.9 this will be a great win for them building that momentum and remembering they did this without tyres Proctor but with Jared McCain and a spectacular ball game here today for the Freshman on of Sacramento California smashing several records

For a freshman for the Duke Blue Devils along the way roach making the [Applause] first so this to put the Blue Devils ahead by 11 and Florida state has just not been able to cut into the lead really and maintain it since halftime they cut it

To five at one point but not able to get any closer that five-point possession by Jared McCain after the technical foul would TR truly be a Difference Maker knocking down the two free throws and then hitting to three at the end of that possession to get it back to a double

Digit game and Duke has pretty much maintained a lead from 9 to 11 ever since Mark Mitchell with the foul on the reach puts Corin at the line can’t hit the front end of the one and one and another loose ball picked up by FSU tried that one free from McCain and

Spun up an in for two and going to be a timeout here by Leonard Hamilton with 45 seconds on the clock 7465 Jared McCain if you’re just joining us was just incredible particularly in the first half Jared McCain got it go on OB knocking down to three ball in

Transition able to go off the bouns creating enough space to get his shot off and this was the one at the end of the shot clock offensive rebound after a technical foul he was able to knock down a three ball a five-point possession for Jared McCain that runner in the lane was

The one that allowed him to get to 35 points which is tying Zion Williamson for the most points by a Duke freshman with 35 and McCain most likely will be the guy going to the basketball trying to get fouled and possibly be able to hold that record all of his own at the

Free throw line here in this remaining 45.2 yeah 25 in the first half just couldn’t miss from three-point land everything he put up was dropping good enough to become a villain here in Tallahassee oh yes he he is absolutely become that but that is the best sign of

Respect that you can ever ask for when you come into an opponent’s arena for the first time and by the time you end they boo you every time you touch the basketball that means you have left a lasting impression yeah it hardly ever happens for a freshman oh

Absolutely you’ve got to be pretty special Mitchell to the line 71% for the 69 sophomore Luke leaving the door open not taking care of business at the free throw line Watkins trying to get a shot up he’ll slice inside left it [Applause] short now roach will draw the foul 27.9 to

Go and the most reliable foul shooter that Duke has roach at 87% so he’ll be headed to the stripe here Duke about to pick up win number 20 go to 20 and five at 11 and three in the AC and right on the heels of North Carolina and minus the co season

This will be the 27th consecutive year that the Blue Devils have gotten to 20 [Applause] wins and that’ll R rattle [Applause] in handing off for green [Applause] Jr that’ll be tipped a couple of times for State relentless on the glass but four chances and it would not go

Finally that one will drop by Corin but 11 seconds to go they don’t want to foul that guy McCain and it’s fitting he ends the game with the basketball in his hands as his new favorite friends as da Staley would say they’re not booing him they’re just calling him boo

The No. 9 Blue Devils got a historic 35-point performance from freshman Jared McCain to help them get it done on the road over Florida State, 76-67. McCain’s 35 points were the most ever scored by a Duke freshman. Duke shot 62.5% from 3-point territory and held FSU to 28.6% from 3. Jeremy Roach had 17 points and Kyle Filipowski finished with 8 points to go with 8 rebounds. Jamir Watkins tallied 15 points with 3 assists for the ‘Noles.
