Did Arizona’s Bennedict Mathurin inappropriately touch a cheerleader after a big win in the NCAA tournament?
Following the Wildcats’ 85-80 win over TCU Sunday night in San Diego, footage surfaced online showing Mathurin leaving the court and while extending his hands, he brushed against the upper chest of a cheerleader, who had no reaction to the moment.

Social media discussed this after it happened:
In the video, Mathurin never even looked at the cheerleader. It looked like he was just throwing his arms out to give anyone a high five who wanted one.
Mathurin had a career-high 30 points after going 8 of 19 from the field and 11 of 13 from the free thrown line.
