TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Michael Snaer made two clutch free throws with 23 seconds to play Wednesday, helping Florida State hold on for a shocking 66-61 victory over No. 1 Duke.

Duke attempted 35 shots from 3-point range and made only 11 of them.
Florida State led by as many as 11 points in the second half but Duke fought back within two when Nolan Smith made a 3-pointer with 27 seconds to play. Snaer then made his two foul shots for a four-point lead and the Seminoles claimed the rebound when Smith missed another 3-point try.
After Okaro White added 1-of-2 foul shots for the Seminoles with 17 seconds left, Kyle Singler and Andre Dawkins both missed 3-point attempts for Duke.
