Everyone assumes that whenever Makai Mason went flailing on the floor and Allen was in proximity that Allen tripped him. Even The Big Lead had their Zapruder film where it kinda sorta maybe if you squint just right Allen sticks his foot out, never mind that Mason is surrounded by 3 other guys.

He tripped at least two more guys in the Yale game.
lol, no. One of those supposed "trips" Mason was already flailing forward going down the lane to try to draw any sort of foul, Allen didn't touch him.
And now Allen is a punk and a bad sport because he didn't love the asshole 3 Brooks dropped at end of the game, or the barking he was doing up in Allen's face so he didn't hug him back. Thats I want to do, hug the guy that just showed me up in a loss. Somehow if it was reversed, Allen would be that much bigger of an asshole.
Its been pointed out before, Justise Winslow already exposed the agenda. Homeboy was kicking dudes and doing ankle locks and the media didn't say shit because he was black and he didn't fit the profile. Honestly they can go fuck themselves with their hypocritical bullshit.
Who honestly gives a shit. I fucking despise Duke, and shit like this just happenes. Sure he's probably a fucking little shit, but so is 90% of the players who play on big teams
I like Allen as a prospect personally. Although, it depends on how well he'll play defense since his measurable line up with a guy like Nik Stauskas, who's a freaking mess on defense

I hope that asshole comes back to win a title next season while not so obviously leaving a trail of tripped over bodies. The more people are pissed the better.
It gives me great pleasure to see people that doesn't need to squirm squirm.

I give a shit because while we focus on something like "did he trip that dude again or no?" It takes the shine away from all the kids who should actually be celebrated. Like that Jordan Bell kid on Oregon, who had a terrific game, or Brandon Ingram, who turned in his final game--no surprise, it was stellar--after the best freshmen season anyone's ever had at Duke.

Can you imagine the outrage if the situation was reversed and Grayson was the one hitting that 3 and getting up in Brooks's face after winning?
Great W from the rafters.
Also, Brooks done troll??? Go to 34 seconds and watch after his 3...

Jesus Christ who cares about the three at the end. What did it change? Nothing, other than salting up the Duke fanbase apparently. Be happy that your program is incredibly successful and move on. Brooks got an extra practice shot it after Altman signaled for it. Big deal. Likewise, it's not really a big deal that Allen shut down the hug attempted. Who. Fucking. Cares. Time to sweep up the salt and look forward to what will probably be an awesome season next year.
Lying about it afterwards was worse IMO.
Agreed, but I just don't like the whole thing to begin with. Brooks ain't his player and he didn't even do anything that bad. Shooting one last shot to avoid the shot clock violation turnover isn't that rare.

Think K's lecture was more about the taunting before and after the shot thah the fact he actually took it.
However, I agree with the general point he should have just left it alone.

We're not the ones who had a problem with the taunt and shot. K and Grayson did, but they were the ones competing and they're entitled to feel how they feel.
But apparently Verne Lundquist and SportingNews and ESPN Radio also some hot takes at the ready, and that's who we had problems with. If you feel like the conversation isn't about the great game Oregon played--which it should've been--blame these guy. It's not on us.
Trust me, I'm not just blaming you guys. That doesn't make the argument any less pointless IMO.

Well said.
I don't think Duke fans cared about the 3. I don't think K or Grayson cared. Not sure what the who lecture thing was about. No one did except Espn and the media trying to drum up clicks.
Coach K skirting around it was pretty lame.

No he didn't.
He said "you're a terrific player" to Brooks twice in the handshake line. The reporter probably messed up asking the question. I think K said something during the game when Brooks was trash talking the bench, which was what Brooks was referring to, not about an exchange during the handshake line.
Watch the post-game presser then watch their handshake. Brooks says 'my bad'. It's pretty obvious and there's a reason their accounts differ.
Altogether no big deal. Only relevant story is Oregon/Oklahoma.

This controversy is the top headline on ESPN college basketball.
Congrats to Duck and Brooks for great performance.
This is going to be a great game, whew.

Seriously, it's ridiculous. I was in nosebleeds and had no idea 'something happened'. Driving home I heard all this talk about it and then I saw it... Lol. Non-story.

Refs are terrible right now. ISU isn't playing well without Niang, but shoving people? Clear block fouls? Ugly.
We're getting beat how we've gotten beaten all year though in the end. Offensive rebounding.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Gill and Tobey have a combined 32 points so that makes sense.
