Oklahoma State Player Pushes Texas Tech Fan

A promising college basketball made a really dumb mistake, on Saturday night.

Marcus Smart, of Oklahoma State, went into the stands and pushed a Texas Tech fan, during a game.

He had fallen after attempting to block a dunk, by a Texas Tech player, and words were exchanged between him and the fan, before he pushed him.

According to Smart, the man used a racial slur against him, and he lost his cool.

Smart was given a technical foul, but was not ejected from the game, however his coaches did have him sit out the remainder.

NCAA officials could punish him with anything from a reprimand to suspension, for his actions.

They are also investigating the fan's role, in the confrontation, as other players have made complaints against him in the past.

However, no matter what the fan did, it does not excuse Smart for his actions.
