University of Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke weighed in Wednesday on a video that emerged on social media appearing to show Arizona basketball star Bennedict Mathurin touching a Texas Christian University cheerleader after Sunday's NCAA tournament game between the schools.

"Shortly after returning to Tucson, I was notified that people on social media were claiming a video clip showed Bennedict Mathurin may have made physical contact with a TCU student while walking off the court," Heeke said in a statement, as reported by the Arizona Republic. "I have reached out to TCU’s Athletics Department and I spoke with Bennedict. While he does not recall any contact, he has attempted to reach out to the TCU student through their Athletic Department to apologize."
