West Virginia’s athletic department is reviewing an incident Saturday in which a player is seen striking a Texas Tech fan who had joined thousands of others in a celebratio­n after the No. 8 Red Raiders defeated the No. 2 Mountainee­rs 72-71 in Lubbock, Texas.

Video posted on social media by fans at the game show forward Wes Harris and other West Virginia players trying to reach the sideline as fans swarmed the court. The videos appear to show Harris striking a fan who had run into him before Harris is pulled away. Other players were involved in a separate skirmish trying to protect a teammate in the swarm.
