Tucson, Arizona (AP) – Arizona apologized after the school said that some fans participated in an “unacceptable song” after the basketball team 96-95 Defeat against Byu Saturday evening.
According to online video, fans can be heard shouting a profane sentence directed against Mormons while the teams left the court. Byu is the flagship school of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints.
“After the male basketball match tonight, it was brought to our attention that an unacceptable song occurred,” said sports director Reed-François, in a statement.
“On behalf of the Sports Department of the University of Arizona, we apologize to Byu, their student-athletes, coaches and fans. The song does not reflect who we are and should not have happened. »»
Richie Saunders scored 23 points, including two free throws with 3.2 seconds to play, to give byu the victory on the road at n ° 19 Arizona.
It was the fourth victory of the consecutive cougars and the second consecutive on a classified opponent, following a 91-57 Victory on Kansas n ° 23 Tuesday.
