A busy Saturday of games was overshadowed by a dangerous court storm. ESPN's experts discuss possible solutions and everything else that happened around the sport.
Seth Greenberg puts the blame on Wake Forest's administration after Duke's Kyle Filipowski gets injured in a court storming. at the final buzzer. Per video of the incident, a fan appeared to collide with the projected All-American and draft lottery pick as he tried to leave the floor. Filipowski's teammates and Duke staff surrounded him and had to carry him off the court.
When it's safe and fun, court storming can be a proper celebration for a significant victory. But college basketball has yet to find a way to make it so every time. It's why Scheyer and others around the sport are advocating for an end to court storming. Filipowski's injury could be the catalyst that leads to effective change.
Increase the fines, and the next step will involve penalizing students who participate before the opposing team and staff are safe. Ban them from games, depending on their actions. We just can't have another court storm that leaves players in a vulnerable spot. No matter what.Fining the schools is a good start.
