BYU basketball: Emery will be suspended for punch

The release also says "Emery has been reprimanded for his actions in striking an opponent during live game action" and was "assessed and issued a Flagrant 2 foul for fighting."

The incident occurred with 1:44 remaining, while Emery and Taylor were underneath the basket and BYU's Kyle Collinsworth was shooting a 3-pointer to make the score 80-64 in Utah's favor. After Taylor made contact with Emery's neck with his hand, the freshman hit the Utah senior with a left-handed uppercut.

Emery's brother, former BYU guard Jackson Emery, posted a picture on Twitter of two neck scratches that he says was inflicted on the the BYU player.
