Grayson Allen appears to have claimed another tripping victim on Saturday, this time taking Louisville’s Quentin Snider to the ground.

Grayson Allen has earned the reputation as a serial tripper. As incredibly stupid as that sounds, it’s the reality for the Duke Blue Devils junior guard. It started at the end of last season and has only escalated through the start of the 2016-17 campaign. However, after a one-game suspension and a plethora of public condemnation, you’d think Allen would clean up his act, right?

Apparently not. Against the Florida State Seminoles on Tuesday, it appeared as if Allen may have tripped a player, but the play was a bit close to call in that regard as his body was already at a weird angle. However, there might not be any escaping what the junior did on Saturday against the Louisville Cardinals.

Louisville guard Quentin Snider was driving down the right side of the lane and seemingly got by Allen. As he looked to get up and slice to the rim, though, he went to the ground. Upon further inspection, the reason so is that Allen stuck his foot right in Snider’s path at the last second and sent him tumbling. See for yourself:

There are certainly going to be fans arguing intent on a quick play like that. However, you can see Allen seemingly extend that leg just a bit further—despite all but being out of the play—to get it into the mix. That’s a pretty damning statement on the Duke guard’s intent.

We shall see if anything comes from this as it might be a bit more subtle than previous instances. However, he’s taken the role of being the stereotypical villain for the Blue Devils a bit too far. Someone’s going to get hurt at some point if this is allowed to continue. Even worse for Allen, someone is going to snap on him one day and that may not end well for anyone.
