He was NOT happy with Filipowski.
One former Tar Heel took major issue with Duke forward Kyle Filipowski’s antics in last night’s game. It is another incident for the Blue Devil big man, who, just two weeks ago was involved in a big moment with Wake Forest court stormers where he was said to be injured.
As Filipowski and UNC forward Harrison Ingram got tangled up, Filipowski stuck his leg out and tripped Ingram as he was running down the court. This kind of thing has become common for Duke players. Just a few years ago, it was Grayson Allen who was constantly involved in scuffles and dirty plays.
As the game went on, and even after the game, former UNC forward Brice Johnson sounded off on social media. Here are some of his posts made on X:
“Ain’t no way I just watched a blatant trip on replay and no tech was called……”
“Hey is your knee good? @kylefilipowski”
“Listen @kylefilipowski… we did all this publicity for you when Wake stormed the court and we felt bad for you and then trip someone tonight and give the comments you did post game… come on dawg! Do better I’m not having it! Don’t do this just apologize and say you were wrong”
Johnson stuck up for Ingram and called Filipowski out for the dirty play. Those types of things get players hurt.
