TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — As the shot clock waned, Jon Scheyer dived and poked the ball to Gerald Henderson in a desperate attempt to preserve a Duke first-half possession.

Henderson picked up the ball and fired a 3-pointer that scored just before the shot clock buzzer sounded. In a brutally defensive first half Saturday at Florida State, those were the kind of difficult shots that somebody needed to make.

No. 2 Duke won 66-58 at the Donald L. Tucker Center because Henderson made those shots in the first half and Florida State couldn’t handle Duke’s speed in the early part of the second half.

Boston College: The case of Veuve Clicquot, courtesy of the 1999 Duke team, is in the mail, Eagles.

UNC’s run at Duke’s 19-0 ACC record didn’t even reach 1-0 after the Eagles’ trio of Tyrese Rice, Rakim Sanders and Reggie Jackson popped off for an 85-78 win at the Smith Center.

Stupid media, what were we thinking in picking BC to finish 11th in the ACC?

As No. 5 Duke (12-1) opens its ACC schedule Friday night against Miami at Cameron Indoor Stadium, freshman guard Shay Selby will experience conference play for the first time.

A highly recruited prep player from Cleveland, Ohio, Selby said she's a little anxious to play in the conference she spent so much time watching. Thus far this season, like most freshmen basketball players around the country, she's slowly adjusting to life as a student athlete.

Selby's averaged 12.4 minutes in 12 games, shooting 51.2 percent from the field (21 of 41) and 46 percent from 3-point range (7 of 15). She's averaging 4.6 points per game, with 19 turnovers, eight assists and nine steals. On Monday, she scored a career-high 14 points against Temple, showing the offensive talent that had high school scouts handing out such high praise. 

Responding to a question about what she's learned during the non-conference schedule, Selby said after the Temple game, "I try to take what they give and not try to do too much." 

Listen to Selby talk about getting her feet wet as a Duke freshman and finding her way on the defensive end.

Davidson is going to ruin your bracket

Smart coach, great player, experienced team. What's not to like about Davidson?

Well, after going to the Final Eight, and coming within a 3-pointer of beating Kansas to a spot at the Final Four, everyone's going to be sweet on the Wildcats. That's the first sign to stay away (Rule No. 3: Don't pick a team a year late).

Duke's the No. 2 team in the country. You may have read that on ACC Now but not the print edition.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski would like everyone to note that the Blue Devils are No. 2 in the coaches and AP polls in the first full week of January.

"I don't even think it was mentioned in the newspapers here, that we were No. 2 in the polls," Coach K said after Duke's 79-67 win over Davidson on Wednesday. "Fact, I know it wasn't mentioned, so I guess nobody really cares.
