Duke’s Grayson Allen was booed every time he touched the ball Saturday at Louisville, which is life on the road for Allen this season.
The junior guard is constantly reminded of his antics – tripping opposing players – caused by his fiery competitiveness and quick-twitch reactions that come off churlish and have made him the “bad boy” of college basketball. It resulted in a reprimand from the ACC last year and suspension by Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski this season.
Among those watching from afar has been Jeff Skinner of the Carolina Hurricanes, who can relate in a way to Allen.
