The Arizona basketball team escaped with an 85-80 win in overtime over TCU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night.
Some were not pleased with how the Wildcats’ players handled the team’s postgame celebration, however.
One site slammed the players for their postgame antics after the victory.
Frogs O’ War, an SB Nation TCU site, tweeted a video after the game showing Arizona players appearing to wave goodbye and taunt TCU fans in the aftermath of the game.
It tweeted this message with the video: “Rather than celebrating with their team and bench, Wildcat players immediately ran over to the TCU fan base waving goodbye and blowing kisses. One team walked away with a W, but the other walked away with dignity.”
