I think the concern for players getting injured from a bunch of coeds rushing the court is a bit over blown.

If Flopowski can't survive a bunch of skinny college kids bumping into him how the hell is he going to survive in the NBA???

I remember a UA game in the late 90's (when Bramlett was starting at center) when the UA fans rushed the court after a big win. The announcers began crying about the safety of the UA players ("they could be hurt"). A close look at the court showed AJ Bramlett standing at center court with a couple of Hot young coeds under each arm while he groped away. The UA players all looked like they were having a LOT of fun.

Sometimes when you flop you actually get hurt.

I'd be embarrassed to try and trip and push a nerdy student then get hurt.

I watched the Creighton fans storm the court this week when they beat UConn. Security was excellent - the sidelines were protected, and players/coaches were safe.

Wake Forest security was nonexistent! Wake should be fined!

BTW, some of the comments are really cold - how 'bout some empathy for the players/coaches?

This right here is the easiest way to solve the problem. Make sure your security has control over the situation instead of just letting the fans run amuck.

I get the Duke coach was upset, but there are other solutions instead of an outright ban.

There's a reason they called them cagers. Here's a shot of the first game at Bear Down Gym in 1927 with a net encircling the court. It wasn't just to corral errant basketballs; some places used chicken wire to prevent fans from throwing liquor bottles at players. Tougher game back then. But then, players would fall into rusty chicken wire and get infections, so there's your vicious cycle. Screw Duke. They've been crying that nobody should be allowed to celebrate and enjoy beating their ass for years. Just mandate an appropriate level of floor level security to escort Duke's precious players safely away from those oh-so-vicious non-Duke students when they lose.

And after all the pathetic limping and his coach's rants, Filipowski is somehow back in the starting lineup with zero missed time. More importantly, Duke's next (and last) road game is March 4 at NC St.

So they didn’t have to amputate his leg below the knee? Thought for sure that would be the outcome.

Bilas still probably wants that kid sent to North Korea for getting close to his precious fellow Dukie.

It was your classic Grayson Allen push-trip. They probably spend an hour a week working on it in practice right after they dial in their floor slapping.

I think it was a no call. The CBS article says that a ref went and had a chat with him, but I do not think anything was called. I wonder if that's something that can be penalized after the fact...

I can't see a foul there, nor a flop. Filip was getting up, Ingram is getting up. Both were off balance. Ingram overbalances trying to avoid banging into Flip, but puts a hand on Flips back to avoid a full crash. Flip compensates by putting his leg out for his balance just in tim for Ingrams leg to catch it while he still off balance. Flip gets up and tests his leg.

I sespect the ref was asked both players if they thought was malice.

It was bullshit. This is an example of in rugby union, the players would police this with some spikes to the back next time he was down. Rake ‘em.

Flip intentionally whipped the leg back. Not sure how that couldn't be a foul.

I see what your saying. I think it was the tooth fairy lifted up his leg. No issue with Flip.

Totally. With all due respect to NC State, Duke was one step away from the FF, with their usual roster of NBA talent, and played one of their worst games of the season.

Since Tommy is in his first few years of being a HC, I'm comfortable being patient. I believe he'll get to a FF at Arizona.
