DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Michael Snaer hit a 3-pointer as time expired and Florida State beat No. 4 Duke 76-73 on Saturday, snapping Duke's 45-game homecourt winning streak.
 
With the game tied, Luke Loucks sprinted up the middle of the court before zipping a pass over to Snaer on the right side in front of the FSU bench. Snaer quickly launched a shot that dropped cleanly through the net, stunning the once-rowdy crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium and sending the Seminoles' bench spilling onto the court in celebration.
 
Snaer scored 14 points - including a banked-in 3 to beat the buzzer on the final play of the first half - and the Seminoles (13-6, 4-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their fourth straight game.
 
Austin Rivers had 19 points and tied the game on a driving basket with 4.9 seconds left for the Blue Devils (16-3, 4-1).
