When spectators stormed the court at United Supermarkets Arena after Texas Tech's upset win over West Virginia on Saturday, Mountaineers player Wesley Harris appeared to throw a punch at one of the opposing student fans.
The Big 12 issued Harris a public reprimand Monday for a violation of the league's sportsmanship and ethical conduct rules.
"We must ensure that a safe environment is provided for players, coaches, game officials and fans," Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said in a statement. "Although the postgame environment did not live up to our expectations, Mr. Harris intentionally striking a fan is contrary to the conference's sportsmanship standards.
