Florida State Rushes The Court

[UNTflyer]

Should a team rush the court if they have consistenly knocked off ranked teams, and for the third time in 9 years beat the #1 team and conference rival Duke?

They also beat #1 North Carolina two years ago

Duke was not just #1. They are defending National Champions. I think that gives them more leeway to rush the court. I don't know if there are as many "rules" to rushing a court as rushing the field in football either. I've seen UNC and Duke both storm the court after beating the other - and those are two of the top 6 programs in basketball history.

Iv been a Dukie for life. I even went to the Duke Summer camp my sophomore year of high school which was unreal to play in cameron indoor.

It was frustrating to watch Duke play so uncharacteristicly on offense.

FSU shows up every four years to play their best game of their lives against Duke then go on to a nothing season.

They have every right to rush the floor. Unranked vs #1 team in nation & defending National Champs. Hell no FSU should NOT do it.

They were a lot more tame this time though with extra secuirty I give them that.

In 2006 they almost got team techs for the fans prematurely rushing the court and took about 5 mins to get the court cleared.

Coach K even sent his bench to the locker room for safety because there was no security back at the 2006 game compared to tonights game.

Can someone clear this up for me though, I thought NCAA fined schools for rushing the court/field ?

Did they change the rule on this?

Conferences fine, not the NCAA.

Then im sure the ACC wont do anything since its such a down year.

It hasnt been the top tier conference is almost 4 years now.

only 1 top 25 team is pathetic for ACC (basketball) standards
