Grayson Allen’s quiet, uncontroversial, anonymous senior year as we knew it came to an end Saturday in a tense late moment in one of the season’s biggest games. Whether he can turn the volume back down to the low rumble where it had been comfortably until now, only he knows, although even what happened Saturday wasn’t particularly dramatic other than the timing of it.
It was still enough. Allen went to the floor after catching an elbow on the chin from Virginia sophomore guard Kyle Guy as Duke trapped Guy in the corner trying to provoke a late turnover in an attempt to reverse its fortunes.
