DURHAM, N.C. — Their captain’s return didn’t help a struggling offense down the stretch, but Duke’s tough-as-nails defense and Kyle Filipowski’s clutch free throws led to a Blue Devils win.
No. 17 Miami’s 34.9% shooting allowed junior guard Jeremy Roach and Duke to post a gritty 68-66 ACC basketball win Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
“Our defense has been our backbone,” Duke coach Jon Scheyer said. “I think we’re the type of team we have to gut it out and scrap and claw. And we did that.”
