Duke's Kyle Filipowski with only one field-goal attempt in tonight's win over Vermont. Zero made shots. His first game without a made field goal since Feb. 11, 2023 against Virginia. Three points his fewest since that game, too. Was solid defensively tho, switched effectively.
Good win by Duke. Vermont kept it close for a while… but then the Blue Devils put their thumb on the scale. Know Filipowski didn’t have the scoring impact today, but thought he defended well and mostly made good decisions out of the double. Either JMU or Wisconsin up next.

Duke closed on a 14-3 run, defeating Vermont by the final of 64-47. Matt Veretto just came over to the sections of UVM fans behind me, shouting “thank you” while holding back his emotion. Now, you just hope the TJ Long injury isn’t as bad as it looked for the Fairfield transfer.
