    Duke is undefeated no more. And once again, it was a trip to Tallahassee that did in the Blue Devils.

    Derwin Kitchen scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half and unranked Florida State pulled off its latest upset of No. 1 Duke, snapping the Blue Devils' 25-game winning streak with a 66-61 victory Wednesday night.

    "Tonight wasn't about us being bad," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "They were really good. They played with a verve."

    Chris Singleton added 18 points for Florida State (12-5, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), which made five free throws in the final 33 seconds to hold off the defending national champions.

    It was the third time since 2002 that the Seminoles beat a top-ranked Duke team at home.
