Utah women were targeted by ‘racial hate crimes’ during NCAA tournament ( wapo.st )
Utah players as well as band members and cheerleaders were assigned by the NCAA to accommodations in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, roughly 30 miles from the site of first- and second-round games in Spokane, Wash. On Thursday night, they were walking to a restaurant when a white truck near the team revved its engines before the driver yelled the n-word, then sped off. Another similar incident involving two trucks occurred when the group was leaving the restaurant around two hours later.
