Oklahoma State’s win over BYU was overshadowed by allegations of derogatory fan chants. Wednesday's BYU-Oklahoma State game marked the fourth known instance in a year that fans have been accused of using offensive chants during a college basketball game.

The Big 12 Conference later said it launched an investigation into the matter. 

"All parties have been notified," the statement said. "The conference has zero tolerance for behavior of this nature and will address the matter in accordance with Big 12 sportsmanship policies."

After the game, Cougars men's basketball coach Kevin Young said he heard the Oklahoma State student section chanting, "F The Mormons."

Young also asserted that his children would once again have questions about what allegedly transpired in Stillwater.

"It's a great win for Oklahoma State University. Their fans should be proud," he said. "It would be great if some class was warranted in there as well. I've got four small kids at home. I'm a Mormon. When I go home, they're going to ask me about it, same way as they asked me about it last year at Arizona," the second-year Cougars coach said.
