- Kyle Filipowski is the seven-time ACC Rookie of the Week, winning the award in each of the last three weeks after becoming the first freshman in league history to open a season with four-consecutive Rookie of the Week honors.
- Now with seven ACC Rookie of the Week honors, he is tied with former Blue Devil Marvin Bagley III for the sixth most in a season in conference history -- the ACC record of 10 is held by Duke's Jabari Parker (2014), UNC's Tyler Hansbrough (2006) and GT's Kenny Anderson (1990).

- Lively's eight rejections were two shy of Duke's single-game record for blocked shots (set by Cherokee Parks and Shelden Williams) and one shy of Mike Gminski's freshmen record.
- Duke's field goal percentage defense at the rim is 11 percentage points better with Lively on the floor this season. Opponents are shooting 42 percent on field goals inside three feet with Lively on the court against 53 percent without him on the floor.

- The Blue Devils have out-rebounded 19 of their first 23 opponents, including 10 by double-digit margins. Duke opened the season with a double-digit rebound margin in each of the first six games -- the program record for longest such streak (at any point in a season). Duke had five-game streaks in 2017-18, 1998-98, 1962-63 and 1960-61.
- Since the start of the 2020-21 season, Duke is 48-7 when out-rebounding its opponent (16-3 this season).
