Arizona apologizes for the derogatory vocals of the fans to BYU

Arizona apologized for a derogatory vocals, which, after the 96-95 surprise of the Cougars from Wildcats No. 19 in Tucson on Saturday evening.

According to the video of the incident, Wildcats fans sang an expantive and “Mormons” towards BYU, the flagship of the Church of Jesus Christ of the saints of the last few days when the players left the ground. It ended a chaotic finish that included controversial foul calls and angry trainers and players.

“After the men today’s basketball game, we were aware that an unacceptable vocals appeared,” said the sports director of Arizona, Desireé Reed-Francois. “In the name of the Athletic Department of the University of Arizona, we apologize to BYU, her student athletes, trainers and fans. The vocals do not reflect who we are and should not have happened.”

The emotions flared up in the McKale Center towards the end of a wild game. After one point, the Caleb love of Arizona seemed to achieve and draw a foul with 12.5 seconds on the clock, but the officials decided that he was not in the act of shooting when the foul occurred. In contrast to the NBA, College basketball has no continuation rule. The NCAA rule book says that “the act of shooting begins and ends at the same time as the test begins and ends when the ball is clearly in flight.”

Love sank both free throws to give Arizona a 95-94 edge. At the other end, officials pulled boos from the crowd when they called a foul on Arizonas Trey Townsend, which Byus Richie Saunders sent into the charity strip. Saunders made both free throws with 3.2 seconds to give his team the 96-95 advantage and to seal the victory.

Players of both teams had to be separated after the game when they approached the Handshake line.

Arizona’s coach, Tommy Lloyd, criticized the foul call, which led to Byus playful free throws, but also said that the call was not the reason why the wildcats had lost.

“It’s a bad call. I mean whatever. What should I say?” Lloyd said after the game. “You hate a game with it. I mean (Townsend), I feel, jokes, throw it up.

“Listen, it’s the Big 12. I said that. And the guy who called it at our home courtyard.”
