BOSTON (AP) — Dariq Whitehead scored 18 points, Kyle Filipowski hit two clutch free throws and No. 16 Duke rebounded from a miserable loss by holding off Boston College for a 65-64 victory on Saturday. Filipowski finished with 15 points and nine rebounds and Mark Mitchell chipped in with 14 points for the Blue Devils (12-4, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). Quinten Post led the Eagles (8-8, 2-3) with 16 points and six boards, Makai Ashton-Langford had 12 points and DeMarr Langford Jr. added 11.
