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. You've got to have a plan in place to make sure these players get off the court safely. Whether it's create a blockade with your security so the students on both ends can't get on the court, you've gotta have something in place.
"Wake Forest and their administration, shame on you."
Court storming has been a hot topic of late, particularly after an incident involving Caitlin Clark last month.
On CBS Sports, Clark Kellogg and Seth Davis called for limits to court storming.
