Duke Blue Devils vs Houston Cougars, ft. Jared McCain

Duke's nail-biting victory over Houston sets the stage for a Tobacco Road showdown in the Elite Eight, highlighted by the stellar outing of Kyle Filipowski and Jeremy Roach.

Despite a relatively modest showing from Jared McCain (seven points, four assists and six rebounds), the Blue Devils prevailed, crediting their gritty attitude throughout the game.

With Houston's All-America point guard Jamal Shead out for most of the game due to an ankle injury, Duke still had to overcome the Cougars' powerful defense to win. The Blue Devils' grit shone through despite their season-low point total.

“I hate that it ended like this. I wish I could have got back out there and at least been in the fight. It would have been different if I could have at least limped around a little bit and fought a little bit,” Shead said.

Filipowski stressed the team's growth since last season, where they faced a similar physical challenge and fell short. This year, Duke displayed resilience and unity, attributes crucial for tournament success.
