The incident followed an exciting finish to the game, with Otega Oweh — an Oklahoma transfer — hitting the game-winning shot with 6.1 seconds remaining on the clock. The Sooners had a chance for the game-winner on the opposite end of the court, though Garrison blocked Jeremiah Fears’ shot in the game’s waning seconds.

Immediately following the block, Garrison can be seen getting into Fears’ face, with Sooners teammate Jalon Moore coming to his defense. Kentucky’s Amari Williams had to pull Garrison away from the Oklahoma players.
