It has to feel impossible to not keep an eye on the season finale in Durham at this point.
After 14 wins in their past 16 games, the Blue Devils are within half a game of North Carolina in the ACC standings. If that status still holds true on March 9, Duke will welcome the Tar Heels into Cameron Indoor with the conference crown on the line. What better scenario could possibly exist?
The Blue Devils have six more games to play between now and then, however, and they can’t fall asleep at the wheel or look too far ahead.
The first of those six games comes on Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee, a road game against Florida State. It will be the Blue Devils’ first game away from home since a loss in Chapel Hill earlier in the month, and Florida State has its back against the wall in terms of potential tournament berths.
Here’s a full breakdown of the Seminoles team set to play Duke in the weekend showdown and what is at stake in the ACC.
