VIDEO: BYU’s Nick Emery ejected after striking Utah’s Brandon Taylor

Rivalry games can get a bit heated at times, with the dislike amping up the intensity between the two teams. But what occurred during the second half of Utah’s 83-75 win over in-state rival BYU went beyond that, as can be seen in the video clip above.

BYU guard Nick Emery would be ejected from the game after he hit Utah’s Brandon Taylor underneath the BYU basket. Following the game BYU head coach Dave Rose said that Emery told him that he was hit with a forearm by Taylor before retaliating.

With that Rose asked the officials to review the entire sequence, and after doing so they ruled that Taylor had done nothing wrong. Now the question is if Emery will miss more time, and just how long will he be sidelined for if the powers that be decide to suspend him. The Cougars return to action Friday when they host another in-state foe in Weber State.
