The University of Arizona has apologized for a derogatory chant aimed at BYU following their 96-95 upset of the No. 19 Wildcats in Tucson on Saturday night.
Per video of the incident, those Wildcats fans chanted an expletive and "Mormons" toward BYU, the flagship school of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as players exited the floor. It capped a chaotic finish to the game that included controversial foul calls and irate coaches and players.
"Following tonight's men's basketball game, it was brought to our attention that an unacceptable chant occurred," Arizona athletic director Desireé Reed-Francois said in a statement.
