Now it is up to the conference to decide. 

It shouldn't be. Coach K should grow a pair.

Anyone see Fran McCaffery throw a fit at the end of the game last night and walk off without shaking hands? I understand him being upset about the North Dakota player stealing the ball when there is nothing on the line and the game is basically over (3 sec left down by 11 points) but you don't walk off the court and you don't tell your players to do the same.

I watched most of the game.  ND had one kid who was a hack and Jok was a target of a few guys.  One of them got Jok in his jingle bells although they didn't show the replay even though they commented about him getting whacked.  I think I heard McCaffrey apologized this morning.  It's no big deal.

I loved seeing Allen going berserk on the bench.  I assume it was because he got caught, not because he realized he was a flaming piece of poop and was sorry.  It's no longer an internal Duke matter that adenoids K can deal with and tell everybody its not for public consumption.  The ACC has to so something.

Allen reminds me of Luis Suarez of Barcelona ... he's bitten 3 different players.

Yeah that moment of when you don't realize the cameras are still hot.

I've posted this several times and tonight it is warranted based on what I've seen from Twitter I would not wish that on anybody.

And then there is this.

The only problem is that this is about the 3rd time he's done something like this so this apology is only words at this point.
On ESPN there were several analysts that had spoken with Grayson this last offseason and he was apologetic about his tripping incidents in the past.
He's just a brat who gets upset when things don't go his way.

Call me crazy but Louisville doesn't scare me. I had more confidence we'd beat Louisville than Butler just last week. Even after seeing them take down UK I still say we beat them by 7-10. After we lost to Fort Wayne I said we'd still beat UNC by 10 while everyone else was jumping ship on this team and I think we'll see the same here. We're still a VERY good team who will be playing in front of a HUGE IU crowd and we'll get up for this game like we do all top 10 games

I had a ton of confidence for the UNC game because Roy likes to run and it was at home.  We don't match up well with UL.  They'll pressure us and we'll turn it over.  They'll force us to their shot blockers and we'll play right into their hands.  They'll drive right past our perimeter players and we'll watch as they dunk they're way to a double digit lead.  At the end of the night we'll be confused how we lost.

So Coach K looks like a bag of flaming dog turds with the whole tripping spree, right? I mean, grow a pair. Tough enough to threaten refs, but scared to punish your little star boy?

This is so stupid and where the ACC and NCAA should step in if they weren't so clueless and corrupt.  The ACC should suspend Allen for 3 games and fine K.  If Duke can't handle their own issues make them pay for someone else to.  One of these times Allen will either hurt someone or the other team will deal with it on the court.  K would be the first one crying for a suspension of another player if this happened to one of his players.

That would just be doubling down on an event we should already not be playing in. We'd be trading a locked in game against Butler or ND potentially for a game against Ball State or IUPUI? No thanks!

Agree! Need to just remove the event. It sucks

I loved how after how he tripped the kid, CLEARLY! Grayson looks at his hands as if he was trying to say, he was grabbing my hands. That's why i did it! I mean really?? IF the kid had a pro career, he can kiss it goodbye! There'd be no way I would risk drafting that brat! Also, I agree with JayWill about his thoughts on the 2nd half. There is absolutely NO WAY, that he should've even saw the floor in the 2nd half. idc if it meant losing to Elon! Coach K HAS TO send that message now. 

Lastly, Seth was right about the ACC. Too scared to touch Duke but now they kind of in a position Coach K is in. They kinda have to step in and do something now

I truly believe that Allen can't comprehend what there is about him that snaps and causes him to do this. There is no rational/competitive advantage in this happening repeatedly. 

That having been said, action = appropriate reaction, and the young man oughta be suspended.

Well at least Coach K can berate players in the handshake line about respecting the game using his level of righteousness and his players are above that.

Yep, having said that. I'm afraid that there is a really good chance the ACC doesn't do it. We know Coach K isn't going to. I mean with his statement and all

Yeah about that, I don't think North Dakota did anything wrong here. I mean not 5 seconds prior to that, didn't Baer steal the ball from them? Correct me if I'm wrong

So I'm 5 rows behind Duke bench, Grayson blatantly trips opposing guard, screams F--- toward bench & throws a full blown temper tantrum when T is called. Very nice for all the families in attendance.
