Facing Florida State's big men isn't the big challenge for Duke tomorrow. The Devils have plenty of practice facing bigger, stronger opponents. There's nothing new about that.
The real challenge for the Devils may be slowing down Toney Douglas, the Florida State guard who has gone for 25 and 27 points in the Seminoles' two wins here in Atlanta.
Duke used a handful of players — Nolan Smith, Elliot Williams, Gerald Henderson, Jon Scheyer — on Maryland guard Greivis Vasquez, who had 17 and 22 points in the Terps' two wins but was held to 14 by Duke on Saturday.
"Our focus was to try and limit him, and I think we did that," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "He was good today, but we stopped him from being great."
Douglas has been great, all season really, but especially at the ACC Tournament. He and Vasquez had been the two best players here.
Vasquez is gone, thanks to Duke. Now only Douglas stands in the Devils' way.
