Basketball riot triggers race conversation
Kentucky Wildcats’ surprise defeat sparks “ruckus” or “riot”?
The US state of Kentucky’s college basketball team was defeated on Saturday by Wisconsin, breaking their 38 winning streak. The game’s result was controversial, as many Kentucky Wildcats fans argued a shot-clock violation by the Wisconsin team was overlooked by officials. 31 people were arrested around State street near the University of Kentucky campus, where riots erupted in protest of the team’s defeat.
