Chris Singleton added 13 points for the Seminoles (7-2, 1-0), who rallied from a four-point deficit inside the final five minutes to win their second game in a row.
Down 61-57, Michael Snaer kicked off a game-ending 18-8 run with a basket. Dulkys followed with a 3-pointer with 3:36 to go, pushing Florida State ahead 62-61. On their next possession, the Seminoles rebounded three consecutive misses at the offensive end, Singleton scoring from inside to push the lead to 64-61.
Clemson (5-4, 0-1) got within 64-63 on two Devin Booker free throws with 2:10 to play, but another Dulkys 3-pointer with 1:55 remaining made it 67-63. The Seminoles sealed the victory at the free-throw line, hitting 6-of-6 from the line in the final 38 seconds.
