Sulaimon scored 14 points off the bench in a win over Wisconsin earlier this season. On Monday it was freshman Grayson Allen playing the role of sparkplug in the second half when the Blue Devils needed a different energy.

Sulaimon tried to share in the celebration on some level afterward by tweeting a note of congratulations to his former teammates.

Wonder how badly he is kicking himself now for getting kicked off of the team.

Some of the decisions made by Coach K I've questioned myself. Ultimately, I trust Coach K. Semi Ojeleye, Michael Gbinije, and Alex Murphy have made decisions that cost them the same opportunity. Rasheed's decisions ultimately cost him the experience of a lifetime. Eight was enough. Eight is enough.
