Following 2nd ranked Duke sustaining their inaugural loss of 2023-2024 season Duke center Kyle Filipowski who was 10-20 on field goals 3-5 on 3 pointers to go along 8 rebounds 25 points had this to say!
“There’s a lot going on with me, Ryan, Mark, you know, the bigger guys being in down low and trying to rebound,
“But, we’ve also got the emphasis on playing three guards at once. That’s how we’re gonna have to rebound together as a group.”
Tyrese Proctor who was 3-9 on field goals, 1-6 on 3 pointers to go along 1 rebound, 5 assists, 8 points had this to say I thought we handled that physicality pretty well,” “I think we just didn’t move the ball. The ball was stuck on one side half the game. Coach emphasized that at halftime and that’s why we got our lead back. But then toward the end, it just started sticking again a little bit and I think we’ve got a lot to learn from it.”
