Oregon State fans accused by USC player of using racial slurs

CORVALLIS, Ore. -- A USC women's basketball player says fans directed racial slurs at her and her black teammates as they left the court after a loss at Oregon State on Sunday night.

USC's Minyon Moore sent tweets about the derogatory remarks after the game, though she quickly deleted them.

Both schools say they are investigating.

"There is no place at Oregon State University -- nor do we believe in intercollegiate athletics -- for racially derogatory actions or statements that are directed at student-athletes, coaches, officials or fans in attendance," Oregon State spokesman Steve Clark said in a statement to The Associated Press on Sunday night.
