Duke Blue Devils Notes
Kyle Filipowski produced 25 points (10-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Friday’s 78-73 loss to Arizona.
Filipowski has scored 25 points in each of Duke’s first two contests, and the ACC Preseason Player of the Year is certainly living up to that label in the opening week of the campaign. He’s been the Blue Devils’ best player by a wide margin to begin the year and should play a prominent role as a two-way threat every time Duke steps on the court. He has also grabbed at least seven rebounds in his first two contests.
Michigan State Spartans Notes
Tyson Walker provided 14 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 24 minutes during Thursday’s 74-51 victory over Southern Indiana.
Walker converted 6-of-7 shots on route to a team-high 14 points during Thursday’s win over Southern Indiana. The 6-foot-1 senior had a quiet but efficient night following his 35 points against James Madison as the Spartans got their first win of the season. Michigan State has a tall task ahead of them, as they’re slated to take on Duke next Tuesday, and Walker is likely to be called upon for a big scoring performance.
