Their coach makes broad accusations, no specifics.

Watching women’s basketball explode in popularity in real time is crazy. Just this week I’ve seen more women’s hoops threads than I have my entire time here.

Not trying to give you any shite. Just something I’ve noticed.

In a time where snapping photos or taking videos of something has never been easier, these things just seem to never have any evidence to go with it

The specifics are out there
quote:

On Thursday night, the basketball team — along with members of the band and cheerleading team — gathered together at a restaurant for a dinner to celebrate the season. While walking to the restaurant, a white truck got near the team, revved its engines to make its presence known, and then yelled the N-word toward the team before speeding off.

quote:

"We all just were in shock, and we looked at each other like, did we just hear that? ... Everybody was in shock — our cheerleaders, our students that were in that area that heard it clearly were just frozen," Utah deputy athletics director Charmelle Green, who is Black, told KSL.com. "We kept walking, just shaking our heads, like I can't believe that."

quote:

The team carried on with its dinner, but two hours later were met with a similar situation as they started to leave the restaurant. This time, though, two trucks were present, revving their engines and making a lot of noise in an intimidating way, while yelling the N-word again to those present.

Utah was sent to Spokane for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament, but was stationed in a hotel in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho — about 35 minutes away from the McCarthey Athletic Center in Spokane.

I dont understand why they never say what specifically happened.

I give it a couple weeks before it comes out that either this didnt happen or it was a "misunderstanding" from an entitled player provoking an employee.

Right, and all of those people probably had a phone in their hands. None stopped to think hey we might want to film this or snap a picture of the truck or it's license plate.
