Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Duke fans stoning water bottles at UNC players.
With a heated UNC-Duke bitter rivalry nearly boiling over Saturday night, Blue Devil fans threw liquid and empty plastic bottles at Tar Heel players while they taunted the so-called “Cameron Crazies.” The fan response — along with a Duke player tripping Harrison Ingram — came just weeks after Duke player Kyle Filipowski was jostled by Wake Forest fans during an end-of-game court-storming.
That came after Filipowski and Ingram had ended up on the floor after Duke´s star big man contested Ingram´s shot at the six-minute mark of the first half.
As Ingram got up to run back on defense, Filipowski kicked up his right leg and tripped Ingram back down to the hardwood near midcourt.
UNC coach Hubert Davis immediately started frantically motioning for officials to look at the replay, but there was no whistle, stoppage or review as the rivalry battle continued.
UNC-Chapel Hill managed to hold off Duke’s comeback at Cameron Indoor Stadium with Cormac Ryan clinching two free throws with 4.7 seconds left for the Tar Heels, propelling UNC to a second win over the Blue Devils this season — 84-79 on Saturday night.
Also, during the tense game, Blue Devil Filipowski tripped UNC’s Harrison Ingram, with the Tar Heel player ending up on the floor.
