In a shocking turn of events, a phone incident involving University of Kentucky student journalist Jack Weaver, photo director of The Kentucky Kernel, and a Razorbacks staff member occurred after the No. 18 Texas A&M vs. Arkansas men's basketball game in the quarterfinals of the SEC men's basketball tournament on Friday.
Weaver claims a Razorbacks assistant, later identified as Riley Hall, director of internal operations, grabbed his phone and threw it to the ground. USC AD Hunter Yurachek later released a statement where Hall expressed his regret, claiming it was an inadvertent act. The Kentucky Kernel released a statement, standing with Weaver and confirming the incident.
The incident occurred as the Razorbacks fell 67-61 to Texas A&M. Arkansas head coach Eric Musselman left the court in an intense tirade and Weaver was there to capture the moment. Musselman never mentioned the incident, but did express frustration
