North Carolina, ranked seventh in the country, has clinched at least a share of the regular season crown. With a win Saturday, the Tar Heels will have sole possession of the title. They will split it with No. 9 Duke if the Blue Devils win.

In the first half, Filipowski and UNC's Harrison Ingram fell to the floor after Duke grabbed a defensive rebound.

Ingram got up first and attempted to run back on defense. But before he could take even two steps, he tripped over Filipowski's leg.

There was immediately debate about whether it was intentional, and the overwhelming social media reaction is that it was.

Some users on X, formerly Twitter, joked that Filipowski had changed his stance on making contact with players on the court, referencing his injuries from when Wake Forest fans stormed the court against the Blue Devils a couple weeks ago.
