By now, you've probably read about or seen video of the incident in which Oklahoma State star Marcus Smart shoved a Texas Tech fan on the baseline in the waning moments of the Cowboys' 65-61 loss to the Red Raiders in Lubbock, Texas.
For those who haven't seen the shove, ESPN posted a video on YouTube.
Smart has been in the spotlight for much of the season, and not in a good way. He has earned a reputation as a serial flopper, and just recently, he kicked a chair on the bench in frustration during the Cowboys' 81-75 win over West Virginia on Jan. 25.
Up to this point, though, he hasn't done anything of this magnitude. Making contact with a fan like that crosses the line, and as a result, Smart could be looking at a lengthy suspension. According to ESPN.com, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby will take a deeper look at the incident on Sunday.
As you'd expect with an event so polarizing, social media has been abuzz throughout Saturday night and into early Sunday morning.
While much of the reaction is focusing on Smart, it's important to look at both sides of the spectrum and focus a little bit on the person he shoved. John Helsley of The Oklahoman identified the Red Raiders fan as Jeff Orr, who was profiled on Texas Tech's YouTube channel.
