Florida State Defeats Duke: Blue Devils Can’t Flop Their Way Out Of This One

Even if Duke’s 66-61 loss to Florida State on Wendesday was a shocking change from the norm, there were two very familiar aspects of the game.

1. A Duke player flopping.
2. Dick Vitale defending the flop.

Oh Dickie V, never change. Speaking of Dick, he made sure to remind everyone that Duke was missing a key component, one that would have obviously kept the Devils unbeaten all season.

I honestly believe that if Kyrie Irving was not injured, Duke would have had a legit shot to run the table and go undefeated. That has not happened since Gen. Robert Montgomery Knight led Indiana to a perfect campaign back in 1976. With Irving in the lineup, the Blue Devils have three incredible scoring threats on the perimeter.
