Allen lost it because he knew what he had just done, it's to bad all around. I pray K suspends him, it will help kill the backlash I think

Someone needs to pull Allen aside and chew his *** out. That is unacceptable from a junior captain. Come on man

The only way to nip this in the bud is to sit Allen the rest of the game...as soon as K puts him back in Allen and K will be crushed..

Allen for doing it over and over...and K for not dealing with it..

That's the least of my concerns. They're going to bury both guys whether he ever plays again or not.

Yeah but Allen certainly deserves it now...K is going to get it because it keeps happening and he's in charge...

We will see if he goes back in tonight or not...he shouldn't..

Two straight games where the deep shot has abandoned us and now a mental lapse. Ugh. Not to mention a not so great showing on D.

I'm willing to bet we see a 40+ point second half for Duke and a drought for Elon.

I can't believe this is an issue again. Really losing a lot of respect for the kid.

This team looks terrible right now. Somebody hit a shot.

In other news...is Harry really going to play less than 5 mins again?

This team is playing so bad. He could def bring the energy to get them out of this rut.

Terrible end to the half. Let the ESPN backlash begin....

Here's to a better second half. Good thing we got a 10 day break.

We may lose this game because Allen decided to light a fire under elon. Lots of the posters said Allen shouldn't have been suspended after the 2nd trip. Coach k definitely got it wrong should've been suspended that time smh. We've got a winning record but there's been a lot of bs going on this season

K has a real challenge ahead moving forward on multiple fronts, no rotation, no leader, lack of chemistry on the court.

All will work I'm sure, but suddenly it looks like a challenge

Allen changed the momentum of the game...his antics afterwards where just as bad..all about him...it's selfish...

He should get his butt reamed by everyone...I don't feel sorry for him..he deserves whatever is coming.

Now people will hopefully understand the reason K only plays 7 guys. There are chemistry issues on this team and it is glaring!

K needs to do some coaching at halftime. This does not look like Duke basketball we all love.


He needs to leave Allen in the locker room.I think it's effecting the team now. Duke was beginning to pull away. Last year despite the margin of victory Elon outscored us in the second half. If that happens this year guess what. OFC

In order for Giles to get into any rhythm K needs to leave him in for more then two minutes. I understand slowly phasing him in but it's too quick of a spurt right now for him to be anywhere near effective.

This is easily the poorest performance of the year. Look at the bench. Dead. K even looks lost as a goose. I love Tatum but he takes way to many bad shots and by the way where is Jefferson?
I may turn on the hated KY/ Louisville game instead of the mess I just watched.

I see a lot of one on one basketball out of these guys. They don't run a fluid offense. They've become easy to guard. We still struggle mightily on defense.

It'll literally be everywhere online. And I agree, he deserves it.

I know Duke was on a run and that happens! I'm so mad right now I can't stand it!

No the chemistry issue comes from players starting and then switching. With this teams depth you stick to seven man rotation you got a lot of issues because of the mixture.

Grayson, I see him being suspended no way it doesn't happen. If it don't there is no defending him.
