A West Virginia player was seen striking a Texas Tech fan after swarms of people stormed the floor to celebrate the 72-71 victory.

West Virginia's Wesley Harris is the player suspected of the punch as he was walking toward the sideline after the loss. The video shows a fan running into Harris before a punch was thrown.

"We have been in contact with the Big 12 Conference and Texas Tech and are gathering information regarding yesterday's court storming in Lubbock," West Virginia's athletic department said in a statement, according to The Associated Press.
