Things got a little weird late in the game between BYU and Utah on Wednesday, and it all started when BYU’s Nick Emery threw a blatant punch to the face of Utah’s Brandon Taylor. Not a good look.

Emery was appropriately assessed a flagrant 2 foul and ejected from the game. Utah fans, apparently very unhappy about the punch, started throwing things on the court.

Technical foul on Utah crowd for throwing objects on the floor. "So don't do it anymore, thank you," says PA announcer.
— Jay Drew (@drewjay) December 3, 2015 The game eventually resumed and Utah came away with an 83-75 victory. The Utes and BYU have a fairly heated rivalry and Emery’s punch isn’t likely to be forgotten anytime soon.
It’s also one of several dirty incidents by BYU athletes recently. A BYU football player blatantly punched an opponent in the groin this season. The football team was also involved in a brawl prior to their bowl game last year. STOP PUNCHING PEOPLE, BYU.
