Frank Howard played the best basketball of his sporadic senior season, finally recapturing the scoring fire of last year. He largely went shot-for-shot with Zion Williamson to keep the Syracuse Orange in the game against Duke — 11-for-20 with 28 points. But the story nationally after the game, if you fell asleep early, was not the points.
ESPN’s Jay Williams drew attention toward an incident that occurred between Howard and Williamson with 12 minutes remaining in the first half. Howard stuck his foot out to his right as Williamson jogged by following a massive one-handed slam.
