Court storming has been a part of college basketball tradition for as long as many of us can remember.

But there is an undeniable risk to having so many excited people flood a space at one time.

Duke Forward Kyle Filipowski appeared to be injured during a court storming episode when Wake Forest upset #8 Duke 83-79.

Social media immediately saw “Duke”, “Wake Forest” and “Filipowski” begin to trend in the top five at the same time.

Let’s go to the posts..

Also, congrats Wake fans, because if Filipowski is hurt, literally nobody is going to be talking about your team or even care about your win. pic.twitter.com/zYXR5Aex8N

There needs to be a punishment for the home team if the opposing players aren’t off the court before the court storming begins. That’s the only way the students will take it seriously. I’m the last person to advocate for Duke, but this sucks for Filipowski pic.twitter.com/Rde0usTWEk

Court storming in college basketball is officially over.

If Filipowski misses more than a game they might ban Wake from the postseason… https://t.co/hff7xgV7kz pic.twitter.com/xLh4LIo7ym

A fantastic game ends with a black cloud over it. The loss did almost minimal to Duke’s resume. They are FIRMLY a 3, and inching closer to a 2.

But if Kyle Filipowski is seriously hurt because of those idiot fan(s), man that’s fucked up.

Caleb Foster also hurt his ankle today. So, Kyle Filipowski and Foster both have ankle injuries. Something to monitor, I’d say.

“When are we going to ban court storming?”

What do you think?

Should court storming be banned?

Should there be repercussions for Wake Forest.

Have you ever stormed the court?
