Former college basketball star and now NBA guard James Bouknight attended Saturday’s UConn-Xavier showdown. Not before long, he found himself ejected by a member of the officiating crew.
We’re not sure what was said, but one official didn’t like what Bouknight was saying during Saturday’s game. He wound up ejecting Bouknight, who was sitting courtside, from the game.
As the former UConn star left the court, he saw an opening. Bouknight snuck his way into the student section and remained at the game.
Take a look.
