Mac Etienne, a redshirt freshman forward on UCLA's men's basketball team, was arrested and cited for assault after appearing to spit at Arizona fans following the Bruins' 76-66 loss to the Wildcats on Thursday night.

Video of the incident appears to show Etienne, a four-star recruit who is out for the season with a knee injury, looking toward Arizona fans and spitting in their direction as the team exits the floor following the game.

Etienne returned to the locker room with his team before University of Arizona police officers told him he would be placed under arrest and issued a citation for assault with "the intent to injure, provoke or insult" another person, Sgt. Sean Shields, the public information officer for University of Arizona police, told ESPN late Thursday.

Etienne was not placed in handcuffs, Shields said.

"We allowed him to go with the team back to the locker room," Shields said. "And he was arrested for assault."

According to Shields, Etienne will have a court date in Arizona but could potentially be allowed to address the citation without traveling back to the state.

Shields said information about any exchange between Etienne and the fan or fans he allegedly spat on would be released in the official report about the incident on Friday.

"UCLA Athletics is committed to and expects the highest level of sportsmanship," the school said in a prepared statement late Thursday. "We are aware of the incident involving a student-athlete at tonight's men's basketball game, and the matter is under review."

After watching today's game with Tech @ WVU, the players wore "This game is no secret!" shirts in pregame and halftime.

If driving awareness is the goal, they slam dunked this one.  I have been reading and looking up stuff since the game Tech game ended.  Biggest question, " Why isn't the name John B. McClendon a household one?"

Good stuff...for all of us.

They suck. I have no idea how they were ranked so highly.

Before today they had the #1 rated defense in the country.  Their offense is about 115th though.  LOL

Molly McGrath is working a Saturday night basketball game in Provo, Utah that won’t end until after 10pm local time. 

Good luck getting home tonight. (Quick stalk, she lives in Seattle.) Provo’s airport probably closes at 7pm… if it has one. 

The need for a sideline reporter during a 30+ point pantsing of the home team.

She was the captain of the cheerleading squad her senior year at Boston College. Gosh bless her. ♥️

Bill Walton commenting on Arizona at the start of the 3rd OT:

”They’ve got 4 guys from the Sun Devils wearing headbands, will that be the key?”

[Later in 3rd OT]

”From the vomitorium to the podium.”
