Duke Analysis: Kyle Filipowski leading this team
The Blue Devils’ offense is still led by sophomore center Kyle Filipowski, who just finished with 8 points and 8 rebounds in their last game’s victory over Florida State. The Associated Press All-American for the preseason is 32 points away from becoming the 69th Blue Devil in history to reach 1,000 points in his career. He is scoring 17 points, pulling down 8.3 rebounds, dishing out 2.7 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 1.1 steals in 30.2 minutes this season. He has made all 25 game starts. Senior guard Jeremy Roach just finished a 36-minute game versus the Seminoles with 17 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists. Roach has averaged 14 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game.
Miami Analysis: They’re tired of losing games
Miami’s current four-game losing streak began on February 5 with a humiliating 60-38 loss against Virginia. They were beaten by 17 at Clemson and 85-77 at Boston College in their last game after suffering a difficult one at home against North Carolina (75-72). Miami’s prospects of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament are remote at 77 in the NCAA Net Rankings. The squad that made it to the Final Four the previous season is not this one. However, they feature several of the same players, such as guard Nijel Pack, who is sidelined for this game after missing the Boston College game due to a lower-body injury. Due to a sickness, Matthew Cleveland, who scored 20 points versus the Eagles, is rated as questionable.
