Northwestern's nailbiting win over Indiana on Wednesday was a big night for the Wildcats, but the game didn't come without incident.
During the Big Ten contest, Northwestern fans chanted a vulgar saying toward IU's Miller Kopp. Before coming to the Hoosiers for the 2021-2022 season, Kopp spent three seasons playing for Northwestern.
After the game, Northwestern coach Chris Collins was asked about the chants.
"I didn't like it," Collins said. "Didn't like it. I'm not a big fan of that. It's not something I condone. First of all, Miller is a part of our family. It was not a contentious thing. I love Miller. He gave us three great years. I'll be forever indebted to what he brought to the program. He knows there's no bigger fan of him than me."
Indiana basketball:As March nears, IU can't wait to be knocked down to start playing with more fight.
On Thursday, Northwestern released a statement from Dr. Derrick Gragg, the school's athletic director.
"During Wednesday's game a line was crossed with repeated, explicit verbal hostility directed at a particular member of the opposing team," the statement read. "The language used violated our collective commitment to sportsmanship and was offensive to many members of our community. We cannot tolerate this type of behavior in our venues."
