BYU's Nick Emery and Kai Nacua discussed in punching article

Some fighting between Brigham Young and the Memphis Tigers breaks out following the NCAA football game at the Miami Beach Bowl, Monday, Dec. 22, 2014. At front is Kai Nacua (12) of Brigham Young.

In a story called "Fist Impressions" in the most recent edition of Sports Illustrated, author Michael McKnight explores punching in non-fighting sports and brings up two cases familiar to locals.

Nick Emery's punch of Utah's Brandon Taylor earlier this basketball season and Kai Nacua's brawling with Memphis after the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl are examined by McKnight in a story that has not yet been published online.
