In one of the strangest moments of the season in college basketball, a player was ejected from Saturday’s Houston-Cincinnati game after referees determined that he bit an opponent during a scramble for the ball.
In the closing minutes of a close game, Houston’s DeJon Jarreau dove for a loose ball and landed at the feet of Cincinnati’s Keith Williams. Jarreau’s face appeared to make contact with the back of Williams’ left leg as he was on the floor, and Williams fell as Jarreau kept wrestling for the ball.
After referees checked the replay, Jarreau was assessed a flagrat-2 and ejected from the game for reportedly biting Williams.
No. 21 Houston went on the lose the game, 64-62.
