Syracuse, N.Y. -- The ACC will not offer a public comment on any potential disciplinary action regarding Syracuse’s Frank Howard for his alleged trip of Duke’s Zion Williamson.

An ACC official said the conference had nothing to share on Friday.

In the first half of the teams’ game in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament on Thursday night, Williamson stumbles over Howard’s outstretched right foot.

After the game, Howard denied trying to trip the Duke star on purpose. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim also defended Howard’s actions.

For his part, Williamson said he didn’t notice anything untoward about Howard’s actions on the play.

“Honestly, no,” he said. “It’s been brought to my attention, but honestly, no, I didn’t notice it.”

Syracuse director of athletic communications Pete Moore said the school’s athletic department had not heard anything from the ACC in regard to anything that occurred during the Duke game.

ESPN analyst Jay Williams harshly criticized Howard for intentionally trying to trip Williamson.

Unacceptable... PERIOD. He should be given a flagrant 2. @espn pic.twitter.com/IkOr8t0lqG — Jay Williams (@RealJayWilliams) March 15, 2019

Syracuse wound up losing the game to Duke 84-72. Howard scored 28 points, while Williamson scored a game-high 29.
