After another double-double last week, Duke’s Kyle Filipowski has been named the ACC Rookie of the Week in men’s basketball for the sixth time this season and for the second week in a row. The freshman was also named Duke’s PNC Achievers Student-Athlete of the Week for the first time in his career.
The Westtown, N.Y., native finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds in Duke’s only game last week — a 68-66 victory over then-No. 17 Miami. Filipowski added two assists, two steals, a blocked shot and was 6-of-8 at the free throw line, including 4-of-4 in the game’s final 2:05 to help seal the victory.
