WAC Championship Ends In Chaos, Tempers Flare After Windmill Dunk As Time Expires: VIDEO
The WAC Tournament title game had some fireworks in the closing seconds.
The Grand Canyon Lopes locked up the WAC tourney title with an 89-74 win over UT Arlington, but the victory wasn't without drama.
Grand Canyon player Collin Moore threw down an uncontested windmill dunk with just a few seconds left, and it was off to the races from there.
A UTA player bodychecked him and another threw the ball at him. Watch tempers flare and tensions explode in the video below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
WAC Tournament title game ends in chaos after dunk.
What an absolute circus show from UTA players in the closing seconds. Stuff like this is so cringe, and it's a reminder that many athletes are the biggest fake tough guys on the planet.
The Lopes earned the win over the Mavericks. Simple as that. You don't want a Lopes player throwing down an uncontested windmill, then play some defense or don't lose.
Is throwing down a massive windmill dunk up 10 with a few seconds remaining a bit low class? Sure, but it's not against the rules. Moore was simply putting an exclamation point on the team's awesome victory.
Instead of just walking off the court and going home, UTA players decided to behave like children by checking Moore and then throwing a ball at him.
Multiple technical fouls were handed out, but it was completely meaningless in terms of impacting the game.
Don't want to get embarrassed with a late dunk? Don't lose. Otherwise, conduct yourself in a more mature fashion. As for GCU, they're busy dancing in the NCAA Tournament. Onward and upward! Let me know what you think of this chaos at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
