The University of Arizona apologized after a portion of the team’s fanbase sang an “unacceptable chant” directed towards Brigham Young University (BYU) following the Wildcats’ men’s basketball team’s defeat at the hands of the Cougars on Saturday.

In the aftermath of the anti-LDS chants that broke out at the McKale Center in Tucson last weekend, the Big 12 Conference was in discussions with both Arizona and BYU about a response.

Arizona athletic director Desireé Reed-Francois said,"The chant is not reflective of who we are and should not have happened.”
