Did anyone else almost have a heart attack watching that Duke-Florida State game? Seriously, I thought the Seminoles were about to pull off the upset of the year! But Mark Evans said, “Not today!” and went full beast mode.

Let’s break down how Duke managed to escape Tallahassee with a W.

The Breakdown

FSU came out swinging, hitting shots from everywhere. Wiggins and McCray V were straight-up FIRE, making Duke look lost on defense. But here’s the thing: Duke didn’t panic. They kept feeding Evans, and he kept delivering. That dude was a walking bucket!

• Evans’ Clutch Gene: Every time FSU got close, Evans answered. Big shot after big shot. Ice in his veins!
• Duke’s Free Throw Woes: Seriously, they need to practice those. Almost cost them the game.
• FSU’s Energy: They played with so much heart. You gotta give them props.

“Mark Evans carried Duke on his back. Period.”

The Takeaway
