Despite being unranked, Wake Forest was favored against Duke on Saturday, leading ESPN analyst Seth Greenberg to blame the school for Kyle Filipowski’s injury.
Duke star Kyle Filipowski sprained his ankle Saturday, his coach said, after Wake Forest fans stormed the court following the Demon Deacons’ 83-79 win over the eighth-ranked Blue Devils.
Despite being unranked, the Demon Deacons were actually favored in the game.
But Vegas lines don’t necessarily matter when it comes to court storming. An unranked team beat a conference rival ranked in the nation’s top 10.
It was a situation ripe for fans storming the court.
Considering Wake Forest was actually expected to win, ESPN college basketball analyst Seth Greenberg is placing a lot of the blame for Filipowski’s injury on Wake Forest’s administration.
« Wake Forest … dropped the ball, » Greenberg said. « You have to have a plan in place. If you’re playing this game, and you’re expecting to win, you’ve got to hire extra security.
