Did Syracuse star Frank Howard just intentionally try to trip Zion Williamson?

During Duke’s 84-72 win over the Orange in Thursday’ night’s ACC quarterfinal battle, the freshman sensation went up for a dunk and came back down. As Williamson was jogging back on defense, video shows Howard sticking out his foot, appearing to try to trip him up.
