MONTGOMERY, Ala. | Following the Alabama State and Texas Southern women's basketball game, there was an incident involving student-athletes from both institutions. Below are statements from Alabama State University President Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr., and the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics,
Jennifer Lynne Williams.
Â
"We are investigating the incident that occurred Monday night, February 3, at the Dunn-Oliver Acadome at the conclusion of the women's basketball game," Alabama State University Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
Jennifer Lynne Williams said. "The conduct of a few of our women's basketball players at the end of the game was unacceptable. That type of behavior is not a true reflection of who we are at Alabama State University. We have begun the necessary steps to review all of the footage from the event, along with the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) to determine the appropriate action necessary. I would like to apologize to Texas Southern University, the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Hornet Nation for the lack of sportsmanship from members of our team. There is no place in the world of college athletics for this type of behavior."
"I am extremely disappointed by the behavior of our women athletes at the end of their game against Texas Southern University," ASU President Quinton T. Ross, Jr. said. "Alabama State University has a zero-tolerance policy for this type of behavior. As stated by the Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Jennifer Williams, the matter is being investigated by her department in conjunction with the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). The University's actions will be guided by the results of that investigation." Â
