March Madness: Duke gets past Vermont 64-47 in South Region despite offensive dud from Filipowski

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — For Duke to advance deep into this NCAA Tournament, the Blue Devils are going to need more from Kyle Filipowski. “I did what I needed to do for this team in order to get this win.” Seeking its 18th Final Four berth and sixth national championship, Duke next plays a South Region second-round game Sunday in Brooklyn against No. It took us a little bit at the start just to get used to it because we haven’t seen it in so long, but once we got the hang of it, the flow of it, we were able to get whatever we wanted.” Even in New York City, where Duke has a large alumni network and fan base, the pesky Catamounts had the crowd chanting “UVM! “We knew it was going to be a battle,” coach Jon Scheyer said, praising his team’s defense and Filipowski’s unselfish play. Foster saw multiple doctors and even tried to practice this week, but Scheyer said Foster “wasn’t able to be himself.” Duke went on an 8-0 spree in the first half and it appeared the Blue Devils were poised to break it open when they built a 10-point cushion — even with little scoring from Filipowski.
