Duke Stumbles in ACC Quarters, Filipowski Shines
WASHINGTON D.C. - No. 11 Duke’s run in the ACC Tournament came to a disappointing end Thursday night, as the Blue Devils fell 74-69 to NC State in the quarterfinals at Capital One Arena.
Despite a monster performance from sophomore big man Kyle Filipowski, who poured in 28 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, Duke couldn’t overcome the hot-shooting Wolfpack. NC State knocked down several timely threes and capitalized on second-chance opportunities to hold off Mike Krzyzewski’s former team.
