You look at the video of the play, and you compare it to the two videos of similar plays from last season, and you can't help but think: That's dirty. And that's suspension-worthy. And…that's why we hate Duke.
Late in the first half in Duke's 72-61 win over Elon on Wednesday night, Duke junior Grayson Allen was defending Elon's Steven Santa Ana near the baseline when Allen stuck out his leg, tripping Santa Ana. When Allen was assessed a technical foul, he threw a tantrum on the bench.
It looked strikingly similar to the two tripping incidents from last season—one against Louisville, the other against Florida State—that made the talented, NBA-bound Duke guard Public Enemy No.
