Court Storming

ISU has done good job this yr with our only court storm. It helps that our students are used to winning/storming. It is more like a waterfall than a storm.
I think most schools do a good job with it. There have been a bunch ive seen this season and they all have a fairly similar plan with a line of security set up to separate fans and opposing players. Its not rocket science at this point.
Wake deserves a fine here not for a storm occurring but for failing to do something that's fairly basic procedure at most other schools (especially P6 schools).
Hell, even a PA announcement to give them time to exit the court mightve been helpful
Once again the supposed "victim" is the one looking for and initiating contact.
He's just pissed because he hurt himself and they got beat.
F*(&K Duke!

I think the railing in front of the student section helps a lot. Forcing people to exit through the aisles slows everything down.
I imagine a few opinions would change if one of our players got injured in this situation. But since it's Duke, flame away I guess
Agree. I’ll get roasted for being a fun hater, but if we had a lottery pick get injured in a court storm late February people here would not respond like “oh well, it’s just part of the college game”.
To be mad at the other institution for not providing adequate security. Not at court storming itself
If you watch the video in slow motion, Flip sticks his leg out to try and trip the fan. He earned that sprained knee
There were students already running onto the court before the clock even hit 0.0. This is a failure by the admin at Wake to have proper security to delay the court stormers. If they can create 10 seconds for the away team to at least get to their bench, this sort of situation is avoided.
The ACC should suspend the Wake student section for two games. Just leave it empty. Students don’t care about fines. But they will care if they lose the opportunity to go to games.
I don't know how you can call that an attempt to trip the Wake student. Flip was walking towards his bench. The court stormers was trying to taunt as he ran by and their knees collided.
The video appears to show the Duke player was looking at the fan approaching and he intentionally stuck his right leg out to trip the fan.
We got us another Caitlin Clark??
