Yeah but, players including home team, should be running football style to the exit though.
 
I don't hate the stormings for other fans but UConn should expect higher standards and not rush the court for any victory except maybe a conference or National Championship. Act like you were there before and we have.

Although I hate Duke, they did nothing wrong in this situation.

This reminds me of the Baltimore Colt linebacker Mike Curtis tackling a fan. When someone said that he should not have tackled the fan, Curtis responded that "the fan should not have been there on the field". This is how I feel about fans on the court while the opposing players are still on the court.
 
This can’t be allowed to happen.

Wow. He took a shot right in the knee. Hope he's OK, but if its a serious injury, I can see lawsuits flying all over the place!

Like he wouldn’t risk getting hurt doing that. And if they run over and hurt a stormer, what then? Who gets sued? Imagine if this happened to DC? We would invade the campus of the guilty party.
 
I like the WF fans bragging about "fastest court storm they've ever seen" while not acknowledging the fans were on the court before the buzzer.

If you want to make the case against court stormings, Duke's big man spraining his ankle is not it. The possibility of a serious injury or a fight breaking out might get me to ban it, but Scheyer whining about it after he designed a play for his seven footer to be as far away from the tunnel as possible - with zero shot of winning the game - is just music to my ears. These things by definition are never neat and orderly, so if you have to wait until 20 minutes after the buzzer to do it, you might as well not.

Terrible take

Such an avoidable situation people just gotta watch where they’re going. We have all been in crowds how many of us have gotten hurt, that includes mosh pits at concerts. Poor job by security btw.
 
it's going to come to the point where schools are going to need to be threatened with post season forfeiture and fines to keep their fans in check.

aConference should fine wake $250k maybe next time they will have sufficient security ... but still Duke sucks

1,000,000.

That will get their attention. 250 is pocket change.

Also, demand that Wake expell the student that injured Filipowski.

That will get the students’ attention

This is the time when people start slowing things frame by frame to make the player out to be the bad guy/girl.

I swear people are getting dumber.

He puts his arms out to keep the guy from running into him. He saw it coming. With Caitlin Clark I’ll admit she seemed to be looking off in the distance and could have avoided the collision if she’d been paying attention.
 
Not clear that the idiot intended to run into Filipowski who was not stationary, but that’s beside the point. Court stormings are a crappy tradition and UConn isn’t immune. Players and anyone else in the mob scene is open to injury. There are ways to stop it that shouldn’t wait.

Those Wake fans were the fastest stormers I have ever seen. What a surge. No security was stopping that.
Not surprised there was carnage.
 
Not good. Hope hes not seriously injured. Fans should wait till the opposing team is off the court before they can storm the court.

I don't want it to go away because it's great for fans and it showcases the excitement of college basketball (it looks awesome on TV) but you gotta protect the players. Do it like Creighton did it the other night, line both sides with security and allow the players to get off the court.

I have to say, Creighton did do a nice job with that.

Scheyer's facial expressions made it all worth while.

Well take the name DUKE out of the story and just imagine ANY player getting badly hurt due to this stupidity. Caitlin Clarke got decked a few weeks ago during a storming and fortunately wasn't hurt. It was a kid holding a phone up and recording while they were running. The phone crap is part of why it's become so dangerous. As with driving or walking many people aren't watching where they are going while recording. That wasn't a factor years ago. Just put a stop to it altogether.
