VIDEO: Arizona State and Colorado Skirmish in Pac-12 Tournament
By Vik Chokshi
The Colorado Buffaloes defeated the Arizona Sun Devils 97-85 in the first round of the Pac-12 tournament. Colorado dunked on Arizona State in the final seconds of the blowout, and that is when things got a little testy. The frustrated Sun Devils decided to take it upon themselves to litigate the unwritten rules of basketball with some shoving.

Colorado’s Coach Tad Boyle can be seen visibly limping after trying to break up the skirmish:

Arizona State has now lost 5 of their last 6 games, and sits squarely on the bubble. Three months ago ASU was a projected No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament on some lists. Now, they will have to sweat out Selection Sunday.
UPDATE: It looks like Coach Boyle tore or strained his calf ?
