After the game, Filipowski expressed his disappointment at Duke's loss:

"This year was the exact opposite of last year with beating them twice and now they beat us twice. Having another opportunity at them would be a great thing to have from our position.
"But that's not really the focus of the ACC tournament. The focus is winning it. No matter who we play, we're thinking about beating them. That's all that matters."

Notably, Filipowski was one of the bright sparks for the Blue Devils in their opening-round game of the ACC Tournament.

A first-round exit in the 2024 ACC Tournament is not the worst thing in the world for the Duke Blue Devils. Kyle Filipowski and co. can now look forward to the NCAA Tournament.

However, a deep run in the conference tournament or winning the title would have eased the pressure on Duke coach Jon Scheyer.

Scheyer won the ACC Tournament with Duke last season. It was his first big achievement after being promoted to head coach in 2022.
