ESPN NFL analyst Chris Canty added his voice to the debate around court-storming in college basketball in the aftermath of Duke’s loss to Wake Forest over the weekend.
While fans stormed the court at the LJVM Coliseum, Blue Devils star Kyle Filipowski suffered an ankle injury when a Wake Forest fan ran into him, renewing calls for the ban of on-court celebrations in the wake of upsets across the sport.
“Let’s also pretend like the players don’t have to have some more awareness in those moments as well,” Canty said Tuesday on ESPN’s Get Up. “What we saw from Kyle Filipowski, he looks like he’s going on a walk through the quad on campus, where you see that there are fans that are storming the court. He has to have more awareness of the situation and have urgency about getting the hell off the court.”
