It appears we’re headed toward another court-storming controversy after the chaos at the end of No. 14 North Carolina’s buzzer-beating, 71–68 win over No. 4 Duke.
In addition to the chaos of having to clear the court once the officials added 0.4 seconds to the clock following Tar Heels senior guard Seth Trimble’s game-winning three, Duke coach Jon Scheyer said postgame he was “concerned about the safety” of his players. In his opening statement, Scheyer said Blue Devils staff members were “punched in the face” and he was concerned about players and their families getting trampled.
