What to do about court stormings in college basketball - ESPN

Following Duke' 83-79 loss at Wake Forest, a frustrated Jon Scheyer asked the question: «When are we going to ban court storming?» Minutes earlier, Kyle Filipowski was injured after he got caught in a sea of Wake Forest fans as they stormed the court 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.

The conversation about court storming is not new. In 2015, Bill Self got trapped in the rush to the court by Kansas State fans after Kansas lost to its in-state rival. In the same court storming, former KU forward Jamari Traylor got bumped. In 2018, West Virginia's Wesley Harris threw a punch at a Texas Tech fan who'd participated in a court storm. Two years ago, Boise State fans were tackled and pushed by security guards as they tried to storm the floor after their team sealed the Mountain West championship.

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.

ESPN's Myron Medcalf, Jeff Borzello and Joe Lunardi discuss the biggest talking point of a busy Saturday slate, along with what happened around the rest of the sport.
