Clemson senior guard David Collins was ejected from Thursday night’s ACC clash against the Duke Blue Devils after committing a violent foul on Duke junior forward Wendell Moore Jr.
In the first half, Moore was going up for a dunk, and Collins came full speed with a dirty foul that was absolutely not a play on the ball. Moore fell hard to the floor and was immediately attended to by the officials and players while in pain on the ground.
Collins was assessed a flagrant two foul, resulting in an ejection. That was a pretty easy decision for the officials.

Here’s how Clemson’s announcers called that flagrant foul. (Duke’s announcers apparently didn’t see it; they thought he just fell awkwardly) pic.twitter.com/4vkWzzn1ke
