Duke guard Grayson Allen almost made it through the week without any controversy. Almost. And this latest episode coincided with coach Mike Krzyzewski's return to the Blue Devils' sideline after a month-long absence because of back surgery.

Allen was whistled for tripping — again — in Duke’s 72-64 win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Obviously, this latest infraction is far less severe than Allen's previous three such incidents — the last of which earned him a one-game suspension in late December. In this case, his foot was planted when the Panthers’ Jamel Artis drove past him. But it still resulted in a foul.




Allen finished with a team-high 21 points and six assists Saturday. It was the third consecutive victory for No. 21 Duke, which improved to 18-5 overall and 6-4 in the ACC.
