I was in Tucson like 15 years ago for the second round of the tournament. I remember watching Jacob pullen play for K State and Kawhi Leonard play for SDSU. Man that’s a cool arena.

Lots of arguing about the chants from the student section.
BYU coach says he heard "f the Mormons." Students online say they were saying "refs are Mormon." That's what I thought I heard but couldn't tell.

There is no arguing. Their coach was full of crap and deflected away from the game with made up BS.

People are too sensative these days. They are playing on the road in the Big12 they should expect to be called all kinds of things and hear all kinds of inappropriate commetns. Comes with the territory. I don't think the student section is marching to Utah to commit genocide against the Mormons, the coach needs to worry about basketball and drop this.

That line-up is so bad, that going through everyone's comments from last night, I knew which line-up you were talking about. That line-up started losing a 5-6 point lead then some how they got the lead back up. No Roy, No Parsa, and playing Curry and Clary at the same time.

I disagree. I don’t know about the game last night. I guess we’ll learn more about that over time. But generally speaking, there are lines that people shouldn’t cross at sporting events. If they do, they should be, and have been, removed. I think it was one of Tom Izzo’s former players who said something a couple of weeks ago and was removed the game, and Izzo completely agreed with the decision. In my opinion, people at University events should not be allowed to say certain things about people’s race or religion with the excuse that other people are too sensitive. There’s a right and a wrong here.
It’s the same chant in every arena, don’t pretend like our student section was saying something else. Fans need to cut this out across the board. Our big win is now not the headline. Do better students.
The second you heard the Mormon part you knew exactly what they were saying and I knew it would become a problem. Our fans used to be really smart. Several other schools have done it and been call out. And they did it anyway. Really embarrassing, I wish we we’re better, but I know we’re not.
It happened. I heard it on tv. Trying to convince yourself that they said something different than every other arena is trying too hard. There’s no reason to do any chants about Mormonism period. If it’s going to be mentioned do something clever like a line from Book of Mormon. It’ll pass like it has for every other school that does this crap but still embarrassing.

It's not an Oklahoma State thing it's a "this generation of kids" thing. Every student section , especially basketball, crosses the line with their chants whether it be HS or college. Every opposing fan base acts appalled and like their kids wouldn't do that, but they all do. This generation does not understand actions=consequences because they rarely get consequences.
Not excusing the behavior, but the "moral police" behavior from some fan bases is exhausting.

Agree to disagree, "victimhood" has become a norm in our society. People look for reasons to be victimized. Life is hard, people will say things you don't agree with, it doesn't define you (unless you allow it) - get over it and move on with your life.

Someone can come up to you and say things about you, your wife, your kids, etc. and make you boiling mad. But it's ok because you're being too sensitive and can't move on with life.

Not moral police but Oklahoma State administration. They should let our students know this is wrong and will not be tolerated. It's the right think to do, even if it is exhausting. Problem is a lot of people aren't interested in showing basic human civility. I guess that's where we are.
Yeah people are a-holes and we have to learn to deal with it, but that doesn't mean you don't also call it out and hope they do better. I'm sure if Tech fans were chanting "Osama Bin Fallah" our fans would say to just deal with it and don't say anything.
Plus, "F the Mormons" is just so lazy. In my day we'd be more creative. I would have gone with a "Four More Wives" chant. At least it's an actual critique on their history. (in case its necessary i'm kidding, leave religion of it).
