A Utah Tech basketball player is facing major criticism after he appeared to punch a player from the opposing team after getting dunked on in the Trailblazers’ 90-80 loss to Santa Clara.

The incident, which has since gone viral on social media, occurred in the final minutes of Wednesday’s contest after redshirt freshman Allen Graves drove to the basket, dunking over Utah Tech guard Chance Trujillo.

Video showed Trujillo swing at Graves as he walked from underneath the basket celebrating the explosive dunk.

Trujillo appeared to make contact with Graves’ jaw.

A Santa Clara basketball player appeared to hold Graves back as officials quickly intervened to prevent a skirmish from breaking out.
