    In other words it didn't "look" like a racial slur to you.

        Smart says he was called a racial slur.

        Fan says he said "something he shouldn't" have said, but said it wasn't racial.

          To me, his reaction "looked" like he had been called a racial slur. Does that mean anything? No. Does it mean that's what he was called? Again, no. But that's what his reaction "looked" like to me.

            No, Mr. Smart's body language says it all.

              One former CBB player:
              Some things are hard to ignore, BUT no excuses! Deal with your consequences. I was called the N word EVERY game I played in Lubbock!
              Have to agree with that. But also, Texas Tech should really, really look into this. If it's that big of an issue ...

                Is Texas Tech like SDSU has often in the past had the BYU look, in other words no coloreds allowed on the team.

                How could that fan call a OSU player the forbidden N word, when the team she is cheering for has several players of African American decent? Seems very contradictory to me.

                  The two things that I have seen online are that he said 1.) the n word or 2.) Go back to Africa. Either of which are stupid to say, and that fan is a complete dumbass if he said either one. What could seriously possess somebody to say these, especially in that environment?

                    You are out of line.

                    As it pertains to the situation we are discussing consider the context. It will make my observation make a lot more sense.

                      The young man appeared to be very offended. I can guarantee you he has been chastised by fans without reaction. Something over the line must have been said. I am curious to see how this turns out.

                        Really sad to think that there are still places and people who think using the N word is ok. If its a common choice of words in Lubbock then im sure this fan wont get any punisment out of it.

                          Marcus Smart was suspended for 3 games. He's going to be suspended for arguably 3 of the biggest games of the year. At Texas, and home against Oklahoma and Baylor. Could make or break their season.

                          Texas Tech statement and a statement from the fan who denies using any kind of racial slur: http://www.texastech.com/genrel/020914aab.html

                          GoPro video that was released. Clearly can hear "Piece of crap" being said in the video right before Smart reacted.

                            It seems odd that he will no longer attend any games if all he said was what was in that video. The short coming of that video is that it doesn't show who is saying what and there is a lot of jumbled audio. I doubt Smart will say anything further because anything more from him about the situation just brings it back into the spotlight and hurts him further.

                            We'll never get proof, but I would bet a serious amount of money that "piece of crap" was not the only thing said to him.

                            Didn't realize that Texas Tech athletics was the one that made the video and uploaded it to Youtube. The more I listen/watch it, the more I don't buy it.

                                Marcus Smart will only receive more heckling on the road as a result.
