Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton said his team learned something when the Blue Devils mounted their inevitable charge to erase the deficit.

"I thought we grew up a little bit in that stretch when the game was in doubt," Hamilton said.

Florida State advanced to only the second ACC tournament championship game in the program's history by beating Duke 62-59 on Saturday. Michael Snaer scored 16 points, including a 3-pointer with 3:27 remaining that gave the Seminoles the lead for good.
