The best photos from Duke’s first-round victory over Vermont

Check out the best photos from Duke’s opening-round NCAA Tournament victory over the Vermont Catamounts.

Duke made it through the upset round.

Despite an uneven first half and a low-scoring affair against No. 13 Vermont, the Blue Devils are officially moving into the next round of the NCAA Tournament after Friday night’s 64-47 victory over Vermont.

The Blue Devils got at least 13 points from four different starters on Friday, and despite the Catamounts double-teaming star 7-footer Kyle Filipowski as much as possible and limiting the All-American to just one attempt from the floor, he still added 12 rebounds and four assists to impact the game.

The win moves the Blue Devils forward to await the winner of Wisconsin and James Madison in Sunday’s round of 32.
