BYU freshman Nick Emery is in a whole lot of trouble today after arguably one of the cheapest punches you’ll ever see. During Wednesday night’s game against Utah, Emery wound up and knocked Brandon Taylor down with a blindside hook. The punch kept Taylor laying on the court for several moments. Emery was ejected after officials went to the monitor for review.
According to Utah coach (and former NBA player) Larry Krystkowiak, Emery taunted Taylor after knocking him out, saying, “Stay on the ground.”
That sounds bad. Emery is facing a likely suspension from the NCAA for the incident. Utah went on to win the game, 83-75.
