They'll probably let it keep happening until someone gets severely hurt and sues the school. Then the NCAA and schools will put a stop to it.

I felt for years that it was only a matter of time.  And with all the crazy people out there today, I think its only a matter of time before some psycho fan attacks a player on the court.  They have to start giving time for the other team to exit the court, which is difficult in a game that was so close.  

That being said, Go Deacs.  🙂

You can see on some of the replays, some guy hitting the Duke player on the back, so yeah. There was a game a few weeks ago where they knew the fans would storm the court and the visiting coach pulled his starters and had them along with most of the bench near the exit. But that doesn't happen in the ACC.

I figured you'd be really happy with the win. Your school hasn't been good in the last 5+ years.

They have been decent the last two years, hopefully this year they get over the hump and make the tournament.

This one shows the Duke player shoving a Wake fan who was running by, probably talking trash.  Which is why they need to delay court storming.

Fwiw, I am a Wake fan.

I don't think that any of it was intentional.  I do think that KF saw the Wake fan running towards the way KF was headed, and put out his arm to shield himself.  Of course, the Wake fan was probably talking trash, so maybe there was a little hostility in the move that KF made.  But certainly, no attempt at injury by either side.  

That being said, court storming should be controlled better at a minimum.  Most coaches think it's a bad idea.  And with all the armed pyschos around today, how long before someone gets seriously injured?  Not just a knee or ankle, but actually a more serious life-threatening injury.

Carolina didn't play well today but a win is a win and it's hard to play well against UVA. It's usually gonna be an ugly, grinding affair. That's just what it is when you're playing against what UVA usually is which is a very good defensive team that struggles to score and tries to slow the game down. It is what it is.

LOL @ a duke player get getting injured trying to shove an opposing fan and then duke playing the victim. That's fuging classic.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
