Duke star Zion Williamson returned to the Blue Devils lineup on Thursday night and took over. He led Duke to an 84-72 win over Syracuse with 29-points.
Early on Zion outscored Syracuse by himself. His hot start seemed to frustrate the Orange.
The frustration caused Syracuse’s Frank Howard to attempt a trip of Zion as he made his way back to play defense.
Unacceptable… PERIOD. He should be given a flagrant 2. @espn pic.twitter.com/IkOr8t0lqG

Ultimately the trip and the attempt slow Zion down were unsuccessful. But you can’t say Howard didn’t try.
Who knows what would have happened if the trip attempt was a successful one. Maybe Zion would have rolled an ankle and his shoe would have disintegrated.
