DURHAM - Duke freshman Kyle Filipowski has been selected to both the Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America Team and the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-District III team. Filipowski is the Blue Devils' 93rd all-time USBWA All-District pick and extends Duke's streak to 16 consecutive years with at least one All-District selection.
The Westtown, N.Y., native enters the NCAA Tournament as a nine-time ACC Rookie of the Week, a near unanimous selection as the ACC Rookie of the Year, the ACC Tournament MVP and as one of only eight power conference players nationally -- and the only Division I freshman -- averaging at least 15 points and nine rebounds this season.
