Miami scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and won the game 34-19.
“I’ve seen everybody do it,” Bowers said, according to USA Today. “I watched the UFC fight last night and Jon Jones did it. I love watching UFC, so I watched it and thought it was cool.”
After the question was asked, USA Today reported that the team ended its media availability.
The decision to end availability raised eyebrows.
