DURHAM, N.C. — A growing spot of blood slowly oozed through the wrap covering Kyle Filipowski’s right knee Saturday as he sat by his locker inside Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The wound came courtesy of one of the many times the Duke freshman found himself on the hardwood against No. 17 Miami, either tumbling after a collision on defense or from diving after a bouncing basketball.
This was a rough-and-tumble game, not one for those who enjoy dead-eye shooting but rather those who prefer basketball with a side of grit.
