Fans outraged by player’s obscene gesture during game

Fans watching March Madness were surprised by an unexpected gesture from a St John's player during a game against Omaha. The match, aired live on CBS, ended with St John's winning decisively, 83-53, in Providence, Rhode Island. The incident happened when Brady Dunlap celebrated after a teammate scored a three-pointer. He laid on the court and pretended to take sniper shots, using his hands to mimic a gun. CBS cameras caught this moment, prompting viewers to react on social media. Many fans expressed their shock and disapproval. Comments on X included remarks like, “This sniper celebration for St John’s is a little much,” and “Why is this not a bench T?” Others suggested he would be penalized in professional leagues for such actions. Despite the controversy, St John's continues to be a strong contender in the NCAA Tournament. They are led by coach Rick Pitino, who is preparing for the next game against John Calipari’s team. Pitino emphasized that the focus is on the players, not personal rivalries.
