Florida State's dramatic overtime victory over No. 6 Duke on Tuesday didn't just give the Seminoles a key ACC victory; it also gave the program a bit of NCAA history.

After RayQuan Evans sent the game to an extra session on a game-tying layup with two seconds to play in regulation, the senior guard won the contest on two free throws with 12 seconds left in overtime. According to the NCAA's David Worlock, the win was Florida State's 13th straight overtime victory to set a new all-time mark at the Division I level.

Florida State entered the season tied alongside five other schools with 11 straight overtime wins.

The Seminoles improved to 11-5 on the campaign with their fourth straight victory, while the Blue Devils lost for the second time in their last four games after starting the season 11-1.

Caleb Mills had a rough shooting night but still poured in 18 points for Leonard Hamilton's outfit. Paolo Banchero led Duke with a game-high 20 points.
