A viral video following Arkansas’ SEC Tournament loss to Texas A&M on Friday night has caused quite a stir on social media.

Shortly after the Razorbacks’ were knocked out of the quarterfinals by the Aggies, 67-61, an incident was caught on camera that appears to show an Arkansas men’s basketball staff member intentionally knocking a phone out of the hand of Kentucky Kernel (the University of Kentucky’s independent student newspaper) photojournalist, Jack Weaver, who posted the video to his Twitter account. The three-second clip quickly went viral and has garnered over 6.3 million views on the platform as of Saturday afternoon.
