The upset of BYU roads at No. 19 Arizona on Saturday had a controversial end, leading to high emotion following the Cougars' 96-95 victory.
In the previous and subsequent matches, Arizona's Kalevrav was fouled with a shot and leaving the Wildcats in the regulation for 12 seconds, but authorities determined that a foul had occurred before the attempted shot of Love.
So instead of trying to complete a 3-point play, Love scored two free throw attempts.
The 6-foot-4 guard hit Arizona before Traytownsend, who was in front of the Wildcats, was asked to foul by BYU's Richie Sanders with 3.2 seconds left. .
Sanders made both free throws and they kept holding on to win the game to move BYU forward again.
Players from both sides had to be separated during the handshake after the match.
Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd said Townsend's foul should not be whipped.
“That's a bad call,” Lloyd said. “I mean anything. What am I going to say? You hate the game that is determined by it.”
Later, when BYU players left the court, some Arizona fans chanted exposing aimed at Mormon religion.
BYU is the flagship school of the Church of Jesus Christ for Latter-day Saints.
“The unacceptable chant emerged following tonight's men's basketball game,” Arizona's athletic director, Desireé Reed-Francois, said in a statement.
“On behalf of the University of Arizona athletics department, we apologise to BYU to their student-athletes, coaches and fans. The hymns do not reflect who we are.
Arizona is currently 18-9 season, with BYU improving to 19-8 in Saturday's victory.
